And what would you have us believe? That Cain is uniquely suited to attract black votes because he's black? Wouldn't they be equally stupid for voting for a candidate only because he is of the same skin color?
Blacks vote Democrat because they want to continue believing the sorry state of their communities is other peoples fault. That is the Democratic message and it is extremely appealing to them. Blacks believe they are owed something, they believe in transfer payments, they believe in government preference, they believe in MORE affirmative action. There is absolutely no evidence available, polling or otherwise, that blacks have had a chance in heart. Cain would do just as bad among blacks as any other potential Republican nominee. This Cain campaign message that he can win 30% of the black vote is utterly ridiculous.
I think the truth delivered by somebody who has gone through the same experiences as the audience he’s addressing can have an effect that the same truth delivered by someone who hasn’t had those experiences cannot. He is uniquely suited because he experienced discrimination and yet chose to spend his life overcoming the odds instead of complaining about them. I’m not a Cain supporter, but his advantage with black audiences is obvious.
