If Michael Steele was unpopular with some members of his party before, it was likely nothing compared to how some will regard his most recent comments. Speaking to 200 DePaul University students, Steele said African-Americans arenât motivated to vote Republican.
Why should an African-American vote Republican?
âYou really donât have a reason to, to be honest â we havenât done a very good job of really giving you one. True? True.â
â¦
âFor the last 40-plus years we had a âSouthern Strategyâ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, âBubbaâ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.â
Now, hold your head and wait for the fallout.
