Republican National Chairman Michael Steele says some white Republicans are scared of him because he's black.
During a weekend appearance on cable TV One's "Washington Watch," Steele agreed with an assertion made by the show's black host, Roland Martin, that "white Republicans are scared of black folks."
"You're absolutely right. I mean I've been in the room and they've been scared of me and I'm like, 'I'm on your side,' so I can imagine going out there talking to someone like you," he said, referring to Martin's liberal credentials.
