MIchael Steele Tries too Hard

After seeing this, I had an aha moment about RNC's Michael Steele. He spends too much time trying to please people and pretending he's like them. He did that with the hip hoppers. Now, he's trying to align himself with the tea partiers. He should just be himself because he comes off as insecure and not authoritative.

Steele should be a little more thoughtful about who he aligns with, especially as a black man. The tea party movement is being infiltrated by white supremacists. I posted this video yesterday, but I'm going to keep posting it because it needs to be seen. Underlying the tea party movement is a group of people who are afraid that their white society is disappearing. I'm not sure why it's so important to them that people be white. What is white anyway?
But I think it's a fear of change and different-ness. These people probably come from places where there is a lot of sameness and they see Hispanics as people who take their jobs and black people as people who commit crimes. There is a lack of understanding by tea partiers and a lot of scapegoating and stereotyping. They feed off of one another's fears. Putting it nicely, they're just not as enlightened as others are.
