if you havent seen the news lately, radio hothead rush limbaugh has been very openly against the newly appointed leader for the republican national convention,michael steele, who also so happens to be the first appointed black.person to that title. mainly on the grounds that he openly criticised his opinion on wanting obama's plan to fail as him being simply an entertainer and not the official leader of the rnc.
now if you've heard rush's shows before-as i had to growing up.......there is a little thing on there reffered to as 'subtle racism" he doesnt openly spout the n word or make bad remarks to black or hispanic or asian people but it is in the tone he responds to things and the comments he makes that lead one to wonder if he is more or less just angry at someone because of their skin color.
take for example his outrage that back in the nineties spikelee encouraged schools in new york to allow the kids to go see his movie malcolm x as it pertained to a major figure head in the civil rights movement.
I remember this pretty well. he was furious about it and ofcourse spikelee returned the fury with a few explicit phone responses back which rush then aired bleeped out ofcourse and responded with a scoff "yeah, you sound reaaaaal educated to me,spike"
there's been other incidences out ther eof things like this on his show which lead sme to wonder if he's really mad at steele for calling him out as what he is, a extreme right wing entertainer (and he does get pretty extreme right on his show sometimes) or is it because he doesnt like the fact that for the first time ever in the republican partie's history of being in this country there's a black guy running things who ha spromised on day one to clean up things and bring the republican party into a new century with a new light........
any thuoghts?
