In a recent interview with the Washington Times, Michael Steele, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) explained his eagerness to use his public relations campaign to target untapped communities such as the Hip Hop community.
“We need messengers to really capture that region – young, Hispanic, black, a cross section…We want to convey that the modern-day G.O.P. looks like the conservative party that stands on principles,” Michael Steele told the Washington Times. “But we want to apply them to urban-suburban Hip Hop settings.”
Steele’s dedication to bringing the RNC to urban communities stems from his earlier promise to bring his “party to every corner, to every boardroom, to every neighborhood, to every community.”
According to Steele, his public relations team will use the Internet and advertising to target young black and Hispanic voters.
In the interview, Steele goes on to explain that his plan would be “off the hook” and that not even “one-armed midgets” would be left out.
The specifics of Steele’s campaign have yet to be released, but Steele told the Washington Times that it “will be avant garde, technically. It will come to table with things that will surprise everyone…”
Steele, who is the first African American Chairman of the RNC, was elected as chairman in January after beating out fellow Republican Katon Dawson by a little over 10 votes.
Is Michael Steele making a mockery out of hip-hop culture? Or are his intentions to bring awareness to the game? Speak on it in the comments section.
