Uncle Luke Of The Infamous 2 Live Crew To Run For Mayor Of The MIA…Strippers Not Pleased!

He seems pretty passionate, and while I always encourage people to follow their passions, this guy doesn’t have a chance in hell.  Plus there can only be one rapper/boss of MIA, and that man is obviously Ricky Rosé.  According to the Miami New Times:

• New Times: Why are you running? Are you crazy?Luther Campbell: I am mad frustrated. I have always been involved in politics, going back to my battles in the city of Miami Beach, dealing with the city commissioners and the mayor. I ran my own nightclub, and I believed African-Americans were treated badly during Memorial Day weekend.

  I’ve thought about running for public office before, but someone would always end up talking me out of it, saying, “We have this good person here, he will do good for the community,” so I always backed out. But I’d end up frustrated because they didn’t do anything. I’d give them ideas and they would just tell me what they wanted to hear.

  I get in my car, ride around Liberty City, and everything looks the same as when I was in the neighborhood growing up. I see the same crimes in the same areas. Officers and residents are still getting killed in the community I grew up in. I go to a city like Atlanta that has sensible affordable housing, and no one is being murdered. I go to Miami International Airport and see the same construction that has been going on for like a hundred years. All of that frustrates the hell out of me. Why aren’t we getting it right in Miami-Dade? Why is our government only serving one set of people? That’s what is pushing me to run.

For a man who seems to love strippers, he probably won;t be getting their votes (although I doubt strippers vote in the first place).

• What’s with your plan to tax exotic dancers?LC: Even though all my stripper friends are gonna be mad at me, I think we can stimulate the economy with a tax on strippers. They make all this money and don’t pay taxes. I’d take that cash and put it into a fund where it supports youth athletics for girls like cheerleading or softball. Or it can go to help pay for existing little girls programs that are struggling to get government assistance.
