I guess this is a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I personally can't stand Cain but some of this crap slung at him is ridiculous.
They don't, they believe it's expedient to say that crap at this moment. The "left" in this country is really a hard core, died in the wool, racist, fascist, nobility, that has worked to install themselves as an all powerful national nobility ever since they lost the Civil War. Just like they found it expedient to preach States Rights in order to get those who had no dog in the fight to defend the right of the nobility to own slaves, they now find it expedient to analyze black folks as if the majority of them are something other than bought and paid for hedonists.
That's the way the democrat fascist party has always worked, buy a group, milk them for all they're worth until a more stable group can be purchased, then abandon and work to destroy their former supporters. That way they're never in danger of major revolts they have to put down. People think that the '68 riots were due to the younger fascist taking over, but that's not the reality of the situation. The riots and changes in the democrat fascist party during the late sixties were to rid the party of those conservative Southerners and blue collar folks who remained in positions of power within the party and were a drag on their eugenics and economic agenda. It's just like the situation in Germany when the "Night of the Long Knives" took place but in the US fascist equivalent situation, it was Rohm crowd who won, not the Hitler crowd.
Just like their German equivalent, the Nazis, the democrat fascists are always doing whatever is expedient to further their agenda, not what they believe in for the long run. They know if they win the battles by doing whatever is expedient, that eventually they're going to be the only ones standing, can replace the Constitution with one party rule, and then do whatever they like. They thought they had reached that point when Barry was elected and are now in shock as reality sinks in and they see they're still a long way from their goal. If the elites running the democrat fascist party weren't every bit as stupid as the sheep they convince to vote for them, they'd have known that their 2008 victory was an aberration not a corination.
Wow, what a contemptible piece of writing.
Baloney. Allen West is a black Republican, and has a completely different life story and personality than Herman Cain, but he would be enthusiastically supported by most conservatives if he were to run for higher office.
What ignorant liberal writers don't understand about the right, is that it's our principles that bind us - not race. If they didn't bring up race so much, most of us would hardly ever think about it.
That conservatives would not support a non-conservative as enthusiastically as they support a conservative just shows how racist they all are, or something, I guess.
But what has Jack E. White done to prove that he's not a child molestor? Not enough. Not nearly enough. And I guess we all know why, don't we?
Is it time? Can we defund the vile NPR propagandists yet? Can we? Please???
Ah yes, The Root, whose founder and editor in chief is Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Why am I not surprised.
The leftists are a bunch of folks who portray themselves as being non-racist, but that simply is not the case. They think of race in a CERTAIN WAY, and they think that way, if labelled 'non-racist,' will be accepted as what they call it.
This quote is the crux of it. Race will always be an issue if someone is black in a country where blacks are in the minority. This is not something to be afraid of anymore than saying the sky is blue--it is a fact, without any bias or particular significance.
This is the game leftists play with that fact: Leftists scream racism thinking if they say it first, then they are safe from that label, because if you call THEM racist in turn it looks defensive ("No I'm not, YOU are!").
Thus, they have positioned themselves as the arbiters of proper conduct where race is concerned because... they say so.
It's a game, and they know how to play it.
Race is suddenly relevent because these black men are hated for their character, their beliefs, and instead of attacking those beliefs (which are separate from POLITICS, and they are beliefs the black community espouses, whether the leaders believe them or not), they attack their personal lives, going straight for the most racist fears of the past--black men's sexuality, and in Cain's case, the specter of the black man who is 'after' blonde white women.
Leftists know this, and they attack using it because they know if they attack Cain (or Thomas) for the beliefs they espouse, they will be seen as being against hard work, family, religion. These are values black families espouse, and which have been attacked since the Great Society programs (which accelerated the splintering of black families under FDR).
The writer cannot grasp that indeed Thomas WAS the victim of a lynching for uppity blacks because he was uppity AGAINST THE LEFT. He didn't know his place in the liberal worldview. In his mind (if he believes this) the only 'uppity blacks' were those under racist landowners, or whatever cliche they choose to believe.
The writer can't recognize who are the current 'landowners' who keep blacks in their place...because he's one of them.
Of all the vile things that were said in this article, this is what struck me the most. The Democrats not only wnat to destroy Herman Cain on a political level, but a personal and cultural one as well. They want his dignity. This is personal with them, or at least in their minds it's personal, and as much as I like Herman Cain, I don't think he has the political experience to stand his ground, nor do I think there is enough time for him to learn it.
This is why I don't think he'll make a good candidate for the general election. Personally, I think he'll be a disaster, and I've said that before. I know that may not be a very popular opinion, but my loyalty is to my country, not to any individual person who may be running in this race.
While this piece may seem like it is neutral on Cain, it is actually a hit piece, the constant reference to Kennedy and his BS statements says it all.
Yes. And they call themselves--in classic newspeak--"liberals".
Big Brother has made great strides in the U.S.A. And he is watching YOU!
Um, of course conservatives aren't going to embrace a moderate to liberal black, just like they aren't going to embrace a moderate to liberal white, or Asian, or anyone else. What a pointless and idiotic statement. We embrace Herman Cain because we respect him and share his ideology. You and your fellow leftists don't embrace black conservatives because they don't share your ideology. But in your case there's an additional reason you oppose black conservatives. You fear that they might disassemble your lock on black votes. That, my friend, is driven by your underlying willingness to sacrifice blacks on the alter of your personal ideology - and that's racism.
In short, what do black Americans support? Do they want to be thought of as permanent victims perpetually relying on gov handouts, or to they want to stand on their own two feet? I mean, what is the kind of country Cain wants for all Americans? He wants a country where you work hard in school, stay out of trouble, work hard to get a job, and then play by the rules. Wow, what an awful message to tell black Americans!! Well, this weird and crazy Cain person must be struck down for telling people to work hard and play by the rules. He has some nerve. So say the leftists. Jack White is an especially odious piece of work.
Cain once again is right. The Democrats have always tried to keep blacks on the Democrat plantation poor and dependent for their votes. Republicans have been responsible for the progress blacks have made from the Civil War forward.
