The trouble with Herman Cain’s GOP candidacy



If you really listen to what Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is saying, you’ll hear an articulation of views deeply held by many black people. Get an education, work hard, don’t make babies out of wedlock, stay out of jail and trust in God.

Does racism exist? Yes, says Cain, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. Are lack of education and racial isolation to blame for high black unemployment? No doubt about it. Is the economic playing field level for some blacks? Of course it is, and no black person need rely on paternalistic whites to make it in this world.


When speaking at black churches, Cain is sure to get “amensâ€

it will probably be the racial drag from his own GOP that sends him plummeting back to earth.

The commies at the Washington Post just called most Republicans racists in this tripe if you were not paying attention.

Myself, I could probably stomach a Romney for president, Cain for vice president ticket. They've both had some good things to say about the illegal immigration issue lately. And that ticket would stomp Obama into the dirt.

Yea, but someone named Cain as in Cain and Able with an inverted 666 plan?

After Barack Osam Bin Laden Husein Obama, who is next for President? Lucifer KillUsAll ?

The Post doesn't want to attack Cain directly, so they do it thru the Republicans. They outright lie, first I know of no State that would charge for Voter ID. I heard Rush's comment about being authentic and he was talking about how Sharpton and others question Obama being authentic. It wasn't him that first said it, it was those "leaders" from the black community. It had NOTHING to do with Kenya and birth and all that, but the fact he didn't have the "black" experience of civil rights, etc. He was raised "white". Even Obama, in his own book, said he had to "learn" how to be black. He studied black people's mannerisms, etc. How any black person could say he was actually a cultural member of their community is beyond me.

The accusations of racism, on the right, is another outright lie. I wish someone would point out some examples and real examples not such tripe as being for welfare reform. Apparently they believe it's racist for wanting black people to succeed and fend for themselves. If you somehow don't show pity for them, you are racist. There highly successful blacks in every profession and successful black people are everywhere, but you would never know it by listening to the left.

As Cain said, he "left the democrat plantation years ago." A black conservative takes more grief from his own community than anybody. They are disowned, verbally pummeled and called traitors. It's shocking how they show no respect for difference of political opinion. It isn't allowed. Those conservative blacks have to be some of the strongest people in the world and they really have to believe deeply in the principles to put up with such abuse.

The Post really praises Cain but disses his views and blames it on the Republicans for "using" him. They are trying to make sure that no blacks leave the plantation.

If they call conservatives racist, then it should be thrown back at them....."PROVE IT." When the dems pander and treat blacks like they are incapable, that's racism.

Yes but don't forget, poll after poll shows that blacks have the highest negative feelings about illegal immigration than any other segment of the U.S. population ( a fact that rarely gets mentioned in the liberal media -- they're too busy trying to play the issue off as whites-versus-people-of-color). As well they should. They're the ones who are getting run out of their urban neighborhoods by the immigrant hordes.

Blacks as a group are hardly liberal on many many issues. And the same goes for Hispanics, many of whom have strongly conservative Catholic values. Its weird how the liberals have kinda' high-jacked both groups. "Politics makes for strange bedfellows" I guess. But its a coalition that could be easily shattered.

That was Michelle Bachman saying if "you turned it upside down, the devil is in the details."

The only thing that keeps blacks on the dem plantation is the perceived notion that somehow the Republicans don't like blacks and even have ill-feelings toward them. Dems don't campaign in black neighborhoods because they already have the votes and Republicans don't for the exact same reasons. If Republicans actually paid some attention, the hold could be broken.
