Michael Steele called a ‘Slavish Follower’
October 18, 2006
House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer said that Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Michael Steele has had “a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party.” The reason this is a story is because Michael Steele is Black. I have written about Steele, specifically some of his supporters, before. What is bad here is that Democrat Steny H. Hoyer would be so d@mn stupid and irresponsible to use any form of the word slave when referring to a Black person. I don’t know anything about Hoyer, but I do know that to believe that making a statement like this is alright shows racist indifference.
Am I over-reacting?

Got something to say?
Whether I was over-reacting or not, an apology has already been issued.
