Herman Cain is the libs’ worst nightmare. A conservative, intelligent Black American who left the liberal plantation and believes in self-reliance and hard work. If Herman is the nominee, he will be savaged by the left perhaps worse than Palin was.

What I see is very tentative criticism. You know libs have a huge problem on their hands when they have to roll out someone like Belefonte to play the race card.

There was a book written maybe 40 years ago, Black Like Me, that may serve as a lesson. Black critics are claiming Cain is not Black like them. In fact he's as Black as any Black from the point of his life and experience. The difference is that Cain did not buy into the "poor is me" rhetoric that has been used to marginalize, demotivate and keep Blacks dependent on someone or something other than themselves.

I'm waiting for Bill Cosby to endorse Cain. They've both upset liberals who would prefer to keep Blacks dependent.
