Now, this might seem racially insensitive, and I'm sure Steele is a good conservative, but does this seem like a meager pandering to the African American community to anyone else?
Yes, it is a new day, and racism is less prevalent with a Black president, but when one of the only reasons they are choosing a party chairman is based on race, someone missed the memo.
Symbolically, yes, it does spell a change in the Republican party. No longer will they pander to the racist, poor and wealthy, whites of America. They will try to be balanced and fair. That's fine. Anything to get rid of Sarah Palin.
It's just one less reason to dislike the RNC. Doesn't mean he's a good guy, but it is at least an acknowledgement that times have changed. I hope that they still defend their position strongly, progress comes from competition. But I hope that that competition comes more centralized, closer to my side of the court.
