“I believe in empowerment zones. Most of the unemployed black Americans in this country are in these mostly economically depressed areas. It could be, and I’m only using this as an example, because we haven’t finished establishing the parameters yet. Instead of in a designated empowerment zone, it being 9-9-9, it could be, as an example only, 3-3-3.

What this does, because you have a lot of African-Americans located in cities like Detroit, disproportionately, it would encourage businesses to stay in business there or to move there. It would encourage people to work there, because if you live in the empowerment zone, you’re going to pay a smaller percentage in taxes.”

"According to J. D. Gordon, Cain's vice-president of communications, Clinton was the last Democratic candidate for President that Cain supported," the report says. "Gordon tells Nebraska Watchdog that by 1996 Cain — who had joined up with Jack Kemp, the GOP's vice-presidential candidate — had 'changed' to the Republican Party."

The National Resturant Association is a lobbyist group and Cain ran it for 3 years.

By the way, I keep hearing blacks are conservative but even Herman himself voted for pro-choice Clinton and Herman's wife votes regularly for Democrats.

What are you, some kind of a Robot? You’re grasping at straws here and ignored everything I said. What do those quotes have to do with anything? Was that from his first speech about empowerment zones? Because he was talking to an all-black crowd in detroit with Alvida King (a pro-life leader!). You made Cain out to be some kind of pro-affirmative action guy who favors blacks. Those quotes don’t prove a single thing, and you didn’t even bother to reply to any of the points I actually made. Get real. There’s a line between pointing out a candidate’s faults and actually just trying to destroy him.
