Hip-hopper sings Steele praise

Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons will be the host of a campaign fundraiser Thursday for Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele's run for U.S. Senate.

The fundraiser for Mr. Steele, a Republican who would be the state's first black U.S. senator if elected, will be held at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park in Baltimore.

Also scheduled to participate in the event are Cathy Hughes, founder and chairman of Radio One, a black-run broadcasting company specializing in urban markets, and hip-hop pioneer DJ Kid Capri.

I've been thinking and saying for some time that if black folk voted Republican in just one election, their political power would increase tenfold. Status quo is that Democrats take their vote for granted because they vote 90% Democrat and Republicans ignore them because they vote 90% Democrat. Here's hoping that changes.

Maybe Simmons was offended by this disgrace.

I hate the American Left.
