RNC Chairman Michael Steele fails miserably in his attempt to give some dap to Chuck D

[Amerigo Vespucci]

CNN's D.L. Hughley talked to Chuck D and RNC Chairman Michael Steele about the Republican Party's attempts to gain popularity in the black community.

Steele tried to establish his credibility with Chuck D by referencing the neighborhood where he grew up. "And what struck me about hip-hop as a genre, as music, as whatever you want to call it, a culture, was the fact that you have guys like yourself who come out of the projects, come off the street. Myself, I grew up on Eighth Street in DC. That's a whole different world from where I am right now," said Steele.

Chuck D offered a quick correction to Steele, "I grew up in Roosevelt, Long Island, it's not the projects. It's where black people live."

1. God, I love Chuck D.

2. Chuck has become a force to be reckoned with ...

... since the mid-90's. I hope he continues to step up and represent, and continues to smack down the lies and misconceptions about the black community.

3. They really are just a ball of confusion over on the right.

It's always been weird but now it's beyond weird. They can't open their mouths without something wrong or hypocritical or a bald faced lie coming out. It's funny but it's also scary. Even when they are caught/exposed or embarrassed they seem to react like it's water off a duck's back.
