Read it.......show me where he wanted the GOP to be more hip-hop like.
What he said is he is going to work on making efforts to reach out to young blacks in the hip-hop culture, for example.
Why is that a bad thing?
Or do you think WASPS should remain the Republican Party until we eventually die a slow death as our party members begin to croak themselves....?
Do you have trouble reading?

Steele: “We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.”
In my opinion, it is not the “reaching out to young blacks in the hip-hop culture” that is the problem, it is that the leadership of the Republican Party SEES that as the solution.
Instead of being principles based, he is demographic and focus group based. Conservatives cannot do that better than liberals. Conservatism is the ideology of ideas, and trying to adjust your “message” and “appearance” to grab a segment of the electorate isn’t going to work. It is what liberals, do, and they do it better and without any reservation.
