Slave references?

Of course he seems uncle Tom-ish to you, I fully expect that from people who look at him and think "he's not supposed to be a conservative, he's a black man!!!"

I'm calling anyone who blindly votes for whoever their parents and grandparents voted for uneducated. Anyone who votes for someone who simply "looks like them" is an idiot and tons of black people voted for Obama for those exact reasons, hell people here on CD have admitted that they voted for Obama because he looked like them. Republicans have done nothing and that's exactly what Democrats have done as well.

Larger percentage? There was a 2% difference between Kerry and Obama 2%, maybe you should read a book before you choose the childish personal attacks. And there were tons of WHITES who did the SAME and???? Its called HUMAN NATURE. Point to where in any of my posts did I state that Democrats were ANY BETTER than Republicans. I will wait.

Didn't he support affirmative action? No way I'm going to vote for someone who supported affirmative action.


I personally know of dozens of black people who voted for obama just because he was "black" because thats all they talked about, they didn't know a thing about him other than that hes "black".

The problem is he's making huge condescending statements that show some erroneous assumptions:
1. Black people don't criticize the president... uh, no. Ask Cornell West and Tavis Smiley. Then visit your local black barbershop.
2. Black people only vote Democrat because of some kind of slave mentality.... sure. That's it. There could be nothing about the Republican Party's history around race from the civil rights movement onward, right? Or the "Southern Strategy". That has nothing to do with anything. It's all because we are too stupid to know any better and can't think for ourselves. I don't know about you, but I ALWAYS want to vote for people who regularly tell me I'm stupid, lazy and looking for handouts. Yup.

He's going to have to modify that speech when he get in front of a black crowd. LOL

It is possible to promote your own ideas and policies without stepping on others. I thought Herman Cain knew this, if not.. I dont' expect I would vote for him..
He doesn't care about you Democrats, don't you get that? Why should he?

The Lefties here are a real riot. They want to hang Cain for what he said, but it is just FINE for all the Dems to go around and call Repubs murderers and granny killers. You guys need to get your priorities stright.

LOL. Want to hang him? What I see most people saying is that he's not coming off so hot, and he'll likely offend black voters. But sure, hang him I guess.

And since this is a thread about Cain, I suspect people are talking about, you know, Cain and not what other people who have nothing to do with the subject at hand said.

Let's take this one step at a time, you and others claimed that Kerry got a higher percentage of the black vote which is WRONG. I pointed it, you agree and now you're trying to twist it somehow... ok, moving on.

Of course tons of whites voted for Obama, there are plenty idiots out there in all races and due to population numbers there are a lot more white idiots than black idiots in the US.

Uhmmm...If I recall correctly, the Granny killer thing was also a Republican point. Again, no difference in either party or their tactics. Unfortunately you refuse to see it. I would like Cain to represent the strong BLACK man that he is without stooping to denegrading and disrespect to appeal to the "masses". Its not the lefties that are the riot, its those of you that REFUSE to respect an opinion that does not align with yours.
