i heard this yesterday and one of the comments below the clip said Obama may be the “magic negro” but at least he isnt the “house negro”….i kinda have to agree in a way,4 him to laugh when someone said that about someone and not stand up to it,that is lowww.

Steele is an ignorant and pathetic fool who doesn’t realize the enitre GOP despises him even as he goes after President Obama and defends the Repubs every rotten move.
