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.
