Choosing a black American for the GOP chair was a good idea, and I really feel that the man was chosen because of his successes and also because of his color. Many urban Americans feel that the GOP stands for three things: racism, male chauvinism and big business. This view is EXTREMELY wrong and is racist and chauvinist in its own respect.
The GOP is trying to make up for all those voters who feel the way I described above, but they're going about it the wrong way. Why should the Republican Party try to appeal to urbanites through hip-hop? The GOP stands for traditional values, conservatism, responsibility, accountability and respect for women. Many hip-hop songs largely attack such values by demeaning women and teaching children to take up the life of a drug-dealer, pimp or baller. The GOP should not appease such people by lowering itself to their level. Instead, the GOP should lobby for comprehensive education packages which incease funding for university-level education in all areas of the US. Then, instead of looking like fools, the GOP can help America overcome its recession by increasing intelligence and accountability.

I don't think you agree with your blog now. They should have hired someone with some backbone, and not because he was African American. If Steele could name a hip hop artist, I would be surprised. They would have been better off hiring the guy who runs Hip Hop Republicans because at least he had the courage to say that he voted for McCain, and he didn't shy away from hard questions about why he is a Republican. And he didn't let Rush Limbaugh punk him on national television.
