It seems that Herman Cain, the guy running on "I'm a real black man, blacker than Barack Obama" is claiming that his candidacy would take the race card off the table. NO ****, he really is


Herman Cain on Why

Obama seems to have set the bar back in 2008 that made the race card use by a POTUS candidate acceptable. Did you disparage him similarly?

Obama didn't go around yammering and yapping about how he was a "real black man" and other's weren't You can't expect either one to competely ignore the race thing but you can certainly expect that if one of them claims his candidacy will take the race card off the table that he is isn't going around blithering and blathering about how he's the "real black man"

I'm suprised just how scared some of the moonbats seem to be of Herman Cain. One of them will let their overt racism show with the "Uncle Tom" card one of these days.

Ironically enough, everything Obama predicted the opposition would do turned out to be true. And if you're naive enough to disparage the racial rhetoric which was being thrown around on conservative talk radio and at Tea Party rallies following the 2008 election, then I rest my case. From the emphasis on his middle name, to the "Go back to Kenya" slogans, to the "he's half white" (in a country where an ounce of black in your blood has made you a ni****); better to direct your sentiments inwards and reflect on the petulant factions within the conservative movement.

I guess you don't understand that Cain was saying that with two black men running race was effectively not something that could come up. How do you belittle a man for being black when your candidate is that way also. Yes, it would surely take the race card off the table.

On the contrary, "real black man" are your words, not Cain's. Are you not ashamed to lie so blantantly?

Taken directly from the article you linked in your OP:
Quote:

“I am an American. Black. Conservative,” he said, punctuating each aspect of his self-identity. “I don’t use African-American, because I’m American, I’m black and I’m conservative. I don’t like people trying to label me. African-American is socially acceptable for some people, but I am not some people.”

What is it about the word “African” that the candidatedoesn’t particularly appreciate?

“Most of the ancestors that I can trace were born here in the United States of America,” he said, hitting those last four words with a hammer. “And then it goes back to slavery. And I’m sure my ancestors go all the way back to Africa, but I feel more of an affinity for America than I do for Africa. I’m a black man in America.”

Does it bother you that Cain uses the identity of his ethnicity from a position of strength rather than claiming victimhood from it as did Obama?

Would you similarly disparage Rubio for mentioning his Cuban heritage?

Are you threatened by Cain or just jealous because he has a deeper professional background and resume than does Obama?

This is really just about your deep seeded hatred for Conservatives from an ever more diverse GOP isn't it? Silly really. But, when your own candidate has nothing defensable about his own term or policies then attack the opposition so one one looks at Obama's failings, right?

Well you may be right if all you are talking about are from outside the White House, however, it appears to me that that place must be full of people who are afraid they might lose their jobs if Obama loses. Nobody is afraid of Cain?
