There is a difference between acknowledging racism as a problem in our society (Reid) and vocalizing racism (tea baggers, wingnuts, Fox News, Limbaugh, certain Repubs). But, that's how Mike rolls....
Huffington Post:
The follow-up question to Steele's statement was obvious from the onset. The RNC Chairman, this past week, had been chastised by members of both parties for using the phrase "Honest Injun" to tout the Republican party's platform. Combined with other gaffes, was this too grounds for resignation?
"No, absolutely not," he said. "Why should I Chris [Wallace]? I'm pushing the ball. I'm raising the money. I'm winning elections. I have got the base fired up."
"If [the comment] is [offensive] I apologize for it," he added. "I wasn't intending to say a racial slur at all. The reality is that's not the same as what we were talking about before."

Memo to Mike: You never publicly apologize for your insenstive remark!

Steele is sick and belongs with other sick people like the Republican Party and Teabaggers. He had made a complete fool of himself and is an embarrassment to his race. Now I still feel there are many good Republicans who have to put up with the few idiots. I'm really tired of the Race Topic as it's gotten old and we are now better then that as a Country.
