**Rqace Card Alert - Herman Cain: Obama Never 'Part Of The Black Experience' **

OK, if Cain wants to talk about the "Black Experience," he has now opened up the conversation to reparations.

BTW, talking about the "Black Experience" to Boortz?

source: Huffington Post


You can say this about Herman Cain's presidential bid: he's not going to resort to boring soundbites.

The Republican hopeful and former pizza chain CEO was interviewed by the conservative radio talk show host Neal Boortz, and was asked about what a head-to-head general election contest with President Obama might look like. “It would almost be no contest," Cain opined.

Boortz suggested that Cain would be able to talk about the black experience in America. "[Obama's] never been a part of the black experience in America," Cain said.

Cain, whose scheduler refers to him as 'Cornbread,' appeared on Neal Boortz's radio show ahead of tonight's Republican debate.
As Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has watched his campaign flag, Cain's has surged in recent weeks following a surprise victory won a straw poll in Florida. He was given a rousing ovation at the conservative Values Voters Summit last weekend. Gallup currently has him polling at 18 percent, ahead of Perry at 15 percent but behind Mitt Romney at 20 percent.

He could beat Obama not that he's going to stick around long enough to do it but if they went head to head he could win.

A man who almost brags about not knowing anything would look like a poseur in debate with Barack Obama.


Cain's ridiculous. Clearly he believes Black people vote for the "Blacker" candidate and he would win the White vote by telling them there isn't any "real" racism left.

I think it's possible as well. Obama's magic is gone. Black people are not going to show up in 2012 the way they did in 2008. White libs and progressives have soured on him as well. I think Cain could take 20% of the black vote from Obama, and enough Republican voters would put him over the top.

My Advice to Herman Cain: Stop allowing the Hannity's and the rest of
the racist world to use you to say the shit they dare not say. Stop. Run
your campaign, promote your 9-9-9 plan and whatever else it is you believe is
worthy of promoting. I'm listening. Many of us will listen. But as a black man
you should well know that insulting us does not engender us -- unless your
real aim is NOT to pull us in -- that is, unless your real aim is to push us away
in hopes that you pull more of THEM in

Please, stop sounding like Gunner and shit. If you want Black people to support
you, stop promoting racial division. Its okay for us to have one in the White
House and give another one, if he has a superior plan, consideration too.

It may make you look good to the republican right-wing, it may cause Rush
Limpshit to point to you as the model Neegro, etc. But no self-respecting
black person could support this racial buffoonery.

Herman Cain never experienced the Black Experience either since he made a decision not to be part of it and to happily skip his happy ass to the back of the bus.

I can't fathom how an admitted coward dares to question anybody in regards to the black experience.

Herman Cain like most so-called Black conservatives is mentally crippled when it comes to acknowledging institutional racism directed at Black American. He is not dumb, he knows the American history of white supremacy and terrorism executed against Blacks in America for more than 300 years; he went to Morehouse College, so he knows. However, he has made a conscious willful decision, in his zeal to please white RepubliKlan voters, to make-believe that institutional racism towards Black Americans no-longer is a problem in America. This is what white voters, particularly white RepubliKlan voters want to hear. He goes on <s>FOX</s> FAKE News; Fake News has a Black viewership of One-Percent; so he knows who he’s talking to, republiklan voters. Here is a view into the Black conservative mind that I witnessed last week at a dinner party. This guy was the sole Black conservative at the table and he was arguing like Herman Cain that racism is basically over. His ridiculous example was the restaurant we were in “The Red Rooster” in Harlem, New York. He said look around this restaurant, whites, Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, all together, many inter-racial couples; that was his proof. I said to him, your example is ridiculous. I told him racism in my view is still (Prejudice + Power). I gave him the recent example that was in the news recently about an organization that sent equally qualified resumes for job openings at 10 Fortune 100 companies. One resume had the name Ashley McClain the other had the name Shaniqua Brown. Ashley McClain was called in for an interview by 7 of the companies; Shaniqua Brown received No interviews. I asked my conservative friend what he thought of this obvious institutional racism. His answer was that her parents should not of named her Shaniqua. Another person asked what if her name was Bao Yu Chang; should she change her name too. He said no she’s okay because she’s Chinese. That is how the Black conservative mind works; in his view Black people must accept racism; - adapt, beg, cajole, pray, but don’t call out the institutional racism revealed in this resume story; don’t even think of any type of legal action. This is the same mindset Herman Cain exhibits.

Why Herman Cain Can Peddle the Delusion Racism is Dead



by Earl Ofari Hutchinson

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Why-Herman-Cain-Can-Peddle-by-earl-ofari-hutchin-111011-441.html

Herman Cain knew two things were certain to happen when he blathered that Racism doesn't hold anybody back (though he added a tiny caveat "in a big way." One it would get the media tongues wagging furiously. The second is that it would increase the rapture of ultra conservatives for him. He was right. But Herm also knows that the racism-is-no-big deal line is reinforced when a black president that reinforces the delusion that racism is still just a minor blip on the nation's chart, and millions can take comfort that as Cain implies any failings by blacks to duplicate Cain's fete and be the boss of a major corporation they have nothing and nobody to blame but themselves.

It's easy to peddle that line when millions believe that decades of civil rights laws, court decisions and affirmative action programs have pretty much wiped the last vestiges of legal racial discrimination off the nation's map. The line seems even more plausible when millions see blacks heading the nation's top corporations and financial houses. They turn on the TV and they see packs of white news anchors, correspondents and commentators on all the major networks and cable stations. They see blacks at the top of the heap of the richest and most recognizable names in sports and entertainment. They see blacks living in every suburban neighborhood, sending their children to chic, pricey and trendy private schools. They live in cities that are run by black mayors, where blacks how power and sway on city councils, boards of education and often hold the top police and city department posts. They live in districts that are represented by a black state senator or congressional representative.

This progress is not an illusion. Some blacks like Cain have gotten a small piece of the economic pie, and have markedly increased their political reach and standing. This makes it even easier to buy Cain's line and to get mad at those that don't and accuse them of screaming racism whenever anything goes wrong. However, Cain knows but would never dare publicly admit the tormenting facts that countless studies, surveys, reports, and investigations, lawsuits, and court challenges, and the mountains of EEOC complaints have irrefutably documented.

Blacks are still two and three times more likely to be unemployed than whites, trapped in segregated neighborhoods, and that their kids will attend disgracefully failing, mostly segregated public schools. Young Black males and females are far more likely to be murdered, suffer HIV/AIDS affliction, to be racially-profiled by police, imprisoned, placed on probation or parole, permanently barred in many states from voting because of felony convictions, much more likely to receive the death penalty especially if their victims are white, and more likely to be victims of racially motivated violence than whites. Research studies that show that whites with a felony record are more likely to be hired in some places than college educated blacks.

Cain would never purse his lips to acknowledge the stark fact that middle-class blacks such as himself that reaped the biggest gains from the civil rights struggles often find the new suburban neighborhoods they move to are re-segregated and soon look like the old neighborhoods they fled. They are ignored by cab drivers, followed by clerks in stores, left fuming at restaurants because of poor or no service, find that more and more of their sons and daughters are cut out of scholarships and student support programs at universities because of the demolition of affirmative action, and denied bank loans for their businesses and homes.

Cain could easily find himself being by passed by a fearful cab driver who didn't watch Fox News and know who he was while on his way to an important business meeting. In fact just a week before Cain cavalierly blew off the still corrosive chain of racism that still shackle millions of blacks as no big deal he huffed at the revelation of the "Ni66erhead" rock on his GOP presidential rival Rick Perry's property. Cain quickly corrected his memory lapse and got back on script and shrugged it off as much ado about nothing.

The fierce battles over affirmative action, police violence, the segregation laws still on the books in some Southern states, the nightmarish scenes of thousands of poor Blacks fleeing for their lives from the Katrina floodwaters in New Orleans, and the big fight over what if anything should be done about the plight of the black poor are further bitter reminders of the gaping economic and racial chasm in America. They are hardly things of a by-gone, forgotten past.

Cain's record of achievement-- corporate head, head of the prestigious National Restaurant Assn., a stalwart military career, radio talk show host, syndicated columnist, and now GOP presidential candidate is the storybook dream and envy of millions and is commendable. Many other blacks can tell similar stories of their personal triumph. But their triumphs don't cancel out the naked fact that the very barriers they overcame are still rigidly in place for millions, and if caught in the wrong place at the wrong time for them too. When that happens they rudely find that racism is anything but dead, and that can hold for Cain too.

999 Plan. 9% national sales tax

on top of the state, county, and city sales tax.

in Chicago that would mean a sales tax of probably 50% or more.

so the consumers who are the working class and poor who spend any disposal income and who are struggling would be paying a 50% tax.

I think that's a great idea Herman

Black Economist Thomas Sowell: Herman Cain ‘One of Us’ More Than Obama

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript src="http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/embed.js?id=1229651576001&w=466&h=263"></SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT>

Economist Thomas Sowell made some curious comments in an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto. While the two began their dialogue by discussing the NBA lockout and Bryant Gumbel’s recent comment likening league Commissioner David Stern to a “plantation overseer,” the conversation quickly turned to race as an issue in the 2012 presidential campaign.

When Cavuto pointed out that some African American leaders have said that Herman Cain isn’t really one of them, Sowell responded:

“My gosh, he is certainly one of us far more so than Barack Obama. Raised in Hawaii and going to a private school, an expensive private school.”
​

It is the “one of us” portion of this statement that is worth examining. Obama’s background, which did, indeed, include private schools and an upbringing in Hawaii, was one of privilege. In his adult life, Herman Cain, too, has seen his fair share of success.

But Sowell’s comments cause one to wonder why good schools and an upbringing in Hawaii would disqualify Obama from being considered as black as Cain. What, exactly, is Sowell saying here? Would being a true African American then require that someone live in the lower 48 and attend less prestigious schools?

While Sowell may have had no ill intention in his words, they certainly raise questions about what he believes “one of us” truly means. Now, it is quite possible that his comments were rooted more in his own upbringing and in the high unemployment rate (16 percent for African Americans) and economic depression that, unfortunately, impacts African Americans more profoundly.

If speaking strictly about these characteristics, then certainly Obama‘s background isn’t characteristic of what others in the black community are faced with. Going on to explain his own personal background, Sowell said:

“We didn’t have a lot of frills like electricity and central heating and hot running water.” [...]
“I was born into a family that didn’t have any education beyond elementary school, but they were people who wanted me to have education.”
​

Clearly, Sowell‘s upbringing was much tougher than Obama’s. Sowell’s comments are similar to statements that Cain recently made in an interview with Neal Boortz. Speaking about Obama, he said:

“He’s never been a part of the black experience in America. I can talk about that. I can talk about what it really meant to be po’ before I was poor. He can’t. So what I’m saying is I can talk about every issue two levels deep without a teleprompter.”
​

Watch these comments, below:

Again — there was likely no ill intention in Sowell’s statements, but they certainly deserve analysis.

Dave I like your comment up to this point. Simply put there is enough to go around on both sides. Similar to how the dems inject race and scare the elderly about mean republicans.
