We live in a democratic country called America where we are given unalienable rights, individual freedoms and liberties to live our lives the way we deem fit. Americans have the freedom to choose what they say, write, their religion and which political party or movement they support: Republican, Democrat, Independent, Tea Party, etc.
But for black Americans the choice of political party appears predestined. It seems liberals but more specifically black liberals have carved in the ten black commandments that “thou shall never be a Republican.” These same black liberals also refuse to submit to the fact that not all blacks think alike.
With black conservatives like Congressman Allen West, Congressman Tim Scott and Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain debunking this insulting stereotype, many black liberals have resorted to racist name calling to protect the myth that Democrat policies help blacks. Cain has been target number one on their list.

Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!
I am not sure how this will play. Mr. Cain’s performance on The View this morning was incredible. He is extremely sincere and likable; I think that he might win over far more black support than even he is expecting. My wife and I were at the Old Country Buffet the other day and two older black men were having a fairly loud conversation. They loved Herman Cain and were not too fond of Obama.
I wish these journalists and writers would stop using Liberal-speak by describing this country as a democracy. The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic.

Thanks, South40
And the RNC will quietly allow it to happen. He’s not “rino” enough for them.
Followed by, "thou shall align ourselves with the political party that promises to give us the most free stuff."
He projects 33 1/3%. If he got that he would be a shoo-in. Only rub is that IMO he can't get that, much less more.
You live in a democratic country.
I live in a Republic.
33 1/3?
Hell, that could be a record!
It’s an interesting question.
I think the answer, however, might be that blacks are more Democrats than they are Black.
Cain was on Red Eye last night and when asked about all the vitriol pointed towards him by the left, he just laughed it off in that likable Reagan dismissive style. These strange attracts on Cain won’t do the least bit of damage to him. It will only expose the left as the POS’s they are.
No Democrat can win a presidential election without more than 90 percent of the black vote.
May be true, may be false, but Obama has lost much more than 10% of the black vote.

After spending my entire life thinking and hoping that we are past the politics of race (including my niece and nephew who are both 1/2 black but associate with only their black “side”) it was Colin Powell who grabbed me by the ears and made it clear: Blacks (and those who create an association therein) need to cling to their skin color as a marker of their position in the world.
The sad part is that Colin Powell in his books stated he used race as an accelerator to climb the rungs of success. But when he needed to make a decision for POTUS, he fell back to his own racial stereotypes.
When Colin Powell declared his support for barry the zero, who represents the antithesis of everything Powell said he stood for, I sadly knew that skin color defines most Persons of Color. And they will abandon their knowledge, principles and character in service to their skin color.
How naive I was. How hopeful. How wrong.
>>May be true, may be false, but Obama has lost much more than 10% of the black vote. <<
Yes — barry will have to limp along with 89.997% of the Black vote.

That’s a good one and so true! Thanks.
Tip jar is at the end of the bar....
You’re right, of course....and it chaps my hide when these same blacks tout their deity, Martin Luther King, whose hallmark was the concept that a man should be judged by his character rather than the color of his skin.
Their hypocrisy, not to mention their mindless pettiness, knows no bounds.
33 1/3?
Hell, that could be a record!
