Thread: I won't Stayon the Democrat Plantation like I'm Supposed To.

Default Herman Cain, black conservative "I won’t stay on the Democrat plantation like I’m supposed to"

"I am an American black conservative, an ABC and I’m proud of it!" a fiery Cain said from the podium, drawing huge applause. He added that he hates being labeled by others and said, "I’ve been called a racist too! Go figure! I haven’t figured that one out yet."
But he said it's really "because I won’t stay on the Democrat plantation like I’m supposed to.

"I have two observations for you," Cain said. "Number one, if you’re black and you disagree with the president [it doesn't imply racism]. … It may shock you but some black people can think for themselves. Number two, if we ever reach the point where we cannot criticize constructively our elected leaders we’re no longer the republic that the founders intended. We’ve become a nation of tyranny."

"I am an American black conservative, an ABC and I’m proud of it!" a fiery Cain said from the podium, drawing huge applause. He added that he hates being labeled by others and said, "I’ve been called a racist too! Go figure! I haven’t figured that one out yet."

The rapt crowd ate up the speech.

Cain, as others did earlier in the day, quoted from the Constitution and said, "We don't need to rewrite the Constitution... we need to enforce the Constitution."

He added that a "liberal attack on America is making the pursuit of happiness more and more and more difficult."

And he hit a theme that has become a constant in the GOP field — American exceptionalism — when he said, "I have an announcement for the liberals. We are an exceptional nation and we’re going to keep it that way."
