"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."
He's really going to tick off a lot of liberal idiots.
Ahaha yeah, it's funny I hope he'll win in Iowa just for that (and because he's charismatic and sympathetic) and a moderate in New Hampshire (Romney or Huntsman)

Wonderful, Herman I hope many other blacks will change their view in seeing you
I wish Herman Luck, but just making the statement alone of "Democrat Plantation", he's already turned off this Moderate Democrat. Its statements like these that show me the disrespect, denegration and ignorance is the only way todays Black candidates could get ahead as a conservative.
JC Watts as of today is the ONLY conservative that I've respected. Until there is a CONSERVATIVE period no matter race that can respect my right to choice, respect my opinion and agree to disagree without disrespecting, I will continue to vote Democrat. I've voted for ONE Republican (Christie Todd Whitman)...boy was that an experiment.
I'm a liberal. I support Herman Cain getting the Republican nomination because Obama would crush him in the general election.
AHAHAHAHAHA no
Herman Cain has a tremendous economic and business experience, given the economy Obama would be CRUSH
Obama could beat Palin/Bachmann easily, but certainly not the others.
I'm sure Herman Cain would take black voters from Obama, Obama would lose Florida, mostly if Marco Rubio is VP
I just think the statement alone is complete disrespect. Maybe he should ask the Clintons how they turned off the black vote.
You see things that clearly aren't there.
