Steele... Keep It Real

Qamatha sent the chameleon (Steele) to Earth to tell the people that they wouldn't die.
During his journey, the chameleon decided to rest.
A lizard asked the chameleon about his journey and his purpose.
The Lizard (Limbaugh) rushed to the Earth to tell people that they would die.
The people panicked.
By the time the chameleon arrived on Earth to dispute the lizard's claim - the people of earth believed the sad tidings of the lizard.
And that is why people die.

Now it seems that the GOP/RNC has a strong argument against Affirmative Action.
They tried to use an under qualified woman in their Presidential bid.
They tried to use an under qualified Black to lead their party.
The problem wasn't one of gender or race - but one of qualifications (or preparation).

Mr. Steele failed because he didn't understand the necessity of Keeping It Real.
He could not be objective. He couldn't even pull of being subjective. He had no power to take a position (other than one of being prone).
He was a Republican for so long that he believed that all Blacks were from the hardened streets of the ghetto (see; Chuck D).
He assumed that those Blacks, inclined to political activity, could be wooed by hip-hop.

D.L. and D.A.G. failed because they kept it too real.
They failed to address their audience in an intelligent manner.
They failed to add something to their established repertoire.
They failed to grow and adapt.
Their assumptions were similar to those of Steele.
(That Blacks (and others who were looking for someone to fill the void left by Chapelle) could only respond to Coonish antics.)
So, this past week, three Affirmative Action projects have failed.
They failed because they assumed that today's hip-hop culture was the same as today's (Black) political culture.
They failed because they sold Black people (and others) short.
