Washington (CNN) - The one African-American running for the GOP presidential nomination said Wednesday the black community was 'brainwashed' for traditionally siding with liberal politicians.
"African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view," Cain said on CNN's "The Situation Room" in an interview airing Wednesday between 5-7 p.m. ET. "I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it's just brainwashing and people not being open minded, pure and simple."
Cain went on to explain that his interactions with African Americans led him to be optimistic about his own chances with the demographic.

The one African-American running for the GOP presidential nomination Actually, Cain is the only African-American running for the Presidency. There's some other guy who is half-white and the rest mostly Arab and a little bit black...but he's not in any way an American. :)

If Cain is right, then he starts out with at least a 5 point advantage in the general election, relative to any other Republican. In fact, it may be higher, as some of the white guilt-trippers may actually find themselves able (for the first time) to pull the lever for a Republican.
So, just from a tactical viewpoint, Cain is the man for 2012. Of course his politics certainly help too (particularly making life as difficult as possible for illegals).

Those are habits that were established by the KKK. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

I have heard personally that Col. Allen West does not get along too well with Herman Cain. Not sure if that is the case, I sure hope not. But in a case like this, sheesh, Cain is going to catch all kinds of holy hell from the American liberal media, the Black Panthers, Congressional Black Caucus, you name it, 24/7. Katy, bar the door. I hope Col (Congressman) West does the right thing and turns it around proactively and comes to the immediate public defense of Herman Cain and goes on a media offense onslaught. Just like Mark Levin says "THERE. I SAID IT!" And do not back down. They really need each other at a time like this...when someone DARED TO TELL THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT BOLD TRUTH!!

Herman continues to articulate the very things that we have been saying right here on FR for years.
And that no other politician, White or Black, has dared to even imply.
To: nuconvert
How is this playing with the black community? Are they insulted by his words or are they waking up? Could be the gimme attitude is too ingrained and they may turn on him.

Relax. The Black community will not turn on Herman Cain. In fact Black Americans and others have been waiting for a person with the message Cain is articulating. You would be surprised at the number of Black people who did not support Obama in the 2008 election. Much of this support the Black community 'gave' Obama is a myth and invention of the main stream media.
This is why Cain has them in a panic

See the comments at the link. There is an entrenched faction that will never see the light.
