Let me piggy-back off of a twitter connection of mine by the name of Stephen Kruiser. I enjoy Mr. Kruiser’s work very much, even as I vehemently disagree with his politics. He’s a very smart guy, and his work is engaging and amusing. Take his lastest post for example. The title says it all: Where Da White Girls At? The gist of the post is to illustrate the lunacy of political correctness run amok, perpetuated by people who don’t hold themselves to the same standards.  Fair enough.  Here at wrightandleftreport, any opportunity to expose hypocrisy is a red banner day.  So I applaud Mr. Kruiser’s effort.

Let’s examine another instance of pot calling kettle black, featuring RNC chairman Michael Steele.  Steele, much like most conservatives, believes that political correctness has gone too far in our society.  He feels that victimization on matters of race is counterproductive– and minorities who engage in it are setting themselves up to fail in society.  Yet here is chairman Steele, claiming the mantle of racially impugned black man on MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

Later, Steele got into it with MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle who, in discussing health care, asked, “What are you people for?

“You people?” Steele asked. “Who are you people?”

“The Republicans, what are you for?” Barnicle responded.

Laughing, Steele – the first African American chairman of the RNC – said, “Mike, I just wanted to you define the pronoun baby, that’s all.”

“Oh, come on,” Barnicle responded.

It was an absolute ridiculous display of false outrage, and phony pandering.  The rest of the interview was just as bad.  Mr Steele, being a black man, should know when to exhibit righteous indignation toward perceived racial insensitivities– when to answer fair pointed questions– and when to know the difference.  If he can’t navigate these delicate waters,  perhaps he’s not the spokesman his party needs at this time.  Perhaps he should join the DNC instead.  Then no one would bat an eye at this type of self-martyrdom.  I guess liberals aren’t the only ones who are politically correct.
