House servients Cornel West and Harry Belafonte try to whip Herman Cain with no success.
Herman Cain was a guest on the Sean Hannity's Fox News Show the other day responding to the comments made against him by Harry Belafonte (one hit wonder from 60 years ago) and Cornel West (Marxist professor who still hasn't discovered a hair cut).
Ah, the Democratic establishment is going gonzo ape over the rise of Herman Cain. Out of the nine candidates running for president, the left is now squarely focusing it's racial laser beam on Herman Cain. I find it funny how the left has completely forgotten about Rick Perry. The whole niggerhead rock controversy lasted for a whole 48 hours. Usually the left doesn't bring out the race card unless they can get at a minimum of a week's worth of media play and fake outrage out of it. The reason why the issue died off so quickly is, because Rick Perry isn't at the top of the GOP pecking order anymore. Herman Cain is. Herman Cain is by far more dangerous to the Democratic establishment then all of the other GOP candidates currently running. I can't believe Harry Belafonte is still around after all these years. He had a one hit song back in the 1950's that most people of this generation don't even know about or even heard. As for Cornel West, this person isn't an intellectual dynamo as he perceives himself as being, even though he has spent all his life in the safe surroundings of academia. Cornel occasionally spouts his crazy, incoherent rants on cable news outlets like Fox and CNN from time to time. Even groundhogs have to come out of their holes once in awhile. This is my response to what Cornel and Belafonte had to say about Herman Cain.
Ah, one last comment. Cornel West is considered a "Civil Rights Activist". What exactly is the role of a "Civil Rights Activist" in 2011?

The Left wants America to nominate Romney in the vain hope that the Tea party won't vote if they do.
And "Tea" candidate is going to get savaged by them.
Alpha male you got all this stuff backwards. Herb Cain fired the first shot a black people when he said most blacks are brainwashed. After he said that his poll numbers shot up. He lost ground for a moment after he said he was sensitive to the nigger word. Once he said it was okay his poll numbers went back up. Over the last three days Herb Cain has said Blacks are more racist than whites, president Obama is not a real black man. Every time he says something disparaging about black people his poll numbers go up. Most people on the left were ignoring him until he came out with the blacks are brainwashed statement.
Herb Cain is a idiot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U63UBXcQzYo
Gerald T.-
If Cain doesn't get the nomination, the Left will use that to attack Conservatives/Republicans by saying "See?!? They wouldn't vote for a Black man in their own party just as they wouldn't vote for Obama!"
Not that they'd ever vote for him if he were up against a white Democrat. No they'll just hate him more since he's Black and Conservative.
Civil rights activists are hustlers, who use race to pad their pockets. I have lost respect for Cornel West, and Tavis Smiley, after listening to some of the most ignorance words flowing from their lips lately. Herman Cain worked his way to the top, while Sharpton, Jackson and others hustled their way. Cain is an example of intelligence verses stupidity. Fifteen years ago while taking a course in finance, Cain and other business people stories were presented to us as examples of making it in America through perserverance and hard work, no handouts. Through the entire course we did not know, nor was his race mentioned. I found out later after doing research on each businessman. Cain can laugh at these clowns because he don't need them. The Democratic party has created a dependent mentality, especially among many young people. you are not suppose to think for yourself, stay in the black box. We have become a society that seems to embrace and follow ignorance, but shun and ostracize intelligence, go figure.
Cornel West looks like a black Gene Shalit, only with a bad haircut, which looks like he's been sniffing model glue. But you are right Tyrone, there are some Chewbacca features in him.
I too don't understand why most of black America has this monolithic attitude, as if they have to act as a unit and think alike.
What surprises me most blacks I've met, some are unemployed, other had their employment status cut, still think, under the Obama administration, that Obama is doing a "great job". Do they think that way because they are in denial?
If Herman Cain is the GOP primary candidate for the Presidential elections, would these same blacks still vote for Obama and take another chance of four more years of misery? Is is worth it?
Finally, if I am correct, I think most of black America a long time ago were conservatives until they went about face starting with the Johnson administration.
We have to remember that these two men work within there own social bubbles, one in elite academia (professors with crazy ideas) which have very little common sense knowledge how the real world works and the other who works for PBS which has it's own elite ideology that it adheres to, recall when Juan Williams spoke out while still working for PBS at the time. Cain on the other hand came from the real world, grew up in the real world outside of any bubble setting and worked to the top. Are we honestly going to trust these two men over the genuine article?
Gerald T.
The majority of America would disagree with you. You can take a video and spin it however you like. I have been watching every video i can lay my hands on for Cain and thus far there is nothing you can try and prove to make me think the other way. Enjoy having four more years of a community organizer who listens to communists if you want. See how that turns out.
Gerald T "Alpha male you got all this stuff backwards. Herb Cain fired the first shot a black people when he said most blacks are brainwashed."
No, you got it all wrong Gerald. Cain was RESPONDING to a question asked off by Wolfe Blitzer to why the Republican Party is seen as poison to the African American community. Cain was right in his response. Until a valid excuse can be given to why a racial group gives between 85 to 90 percent of it's vote to the Democratic party like clockwork with nothing to show for it, then it is brainwashing, because there is no rationality for it.
Gerald T "After he said that his poll numbers shot up".
Don't lie when I am around Gerald, I will call you out every time. Cain went up in the polls after he won the Florida Straw Poll that also combined with the weak performances from Rick Perry in the last 3 debates.
Gerald T "He lost ground for a moment after he said he was sensitive to the nigger word."
Once again, tell the truth. He didn't lose ground. In your warped mind you think he did, but he didn't. Provide the evidence.
Gerald T "Once he said it was okay his poll numbers went back up."
I see your lying is going to be a habit. Quote when Cain he said he was ok with the word being used. He said that the issue was over as far as he is concerned. He was moving on with his campaign and the real issues. He addressed it and moved on instead of harping on it like you and others are and are doing so only for political reasons.
Gerald T "Over the last three days Herb Cain has said Blacks are more racist than whites, president Obama is not a real black man. Every time he says something disparaging about black people his poll numbers go up. Most people on the left were ignoring him until he came out with the blacks are brainwashed statement.
The New Black Panthers aren't racists? The Nation of Islam aren't racists" Blacks haven't been known to be anti semetic and hate Koreans and Chinese who have stores in black communities Gerald? As for Obama, Obama is BI racial. People like you want to ignore Obama's white mother. The word
B1 means 2
Mono means 1
Tri means 3
Quad means 4
Obama is a bi racial man being passed off as black. Herman Cain is black, both his parents are black. Obama himself referred to himself as a mutt and a mongrel. I'm not knocking his racial identity, I am simply presenting the facts as they are. Cain doesn't make disparaging remarks about blacks, the truth is simply a bitch to people like you Gerald T. Using your logic Gerald, Rick Perry's poll numbers should have shot up to the moon when the niggerhead story broke right? They didn't, why not Gerald T?
Thersites "The Left wants America to nominate Romney in the vain hope that the Tea party won't vote if they do."
The GOP establishment also wants Romney to be the nominee desperately. I guess the historic losing streak of the Republican moderates haven't sunk in with them yet. I thought the disaster of McCain would have been awake up call to them, apparently not.
anon "If Cain doesn't get the nomination, the Left will use that to attack Conservatives/Republicans by saying "See?!? They wouldn't vote for a Black man in their own party just as they wouldn't vote for Obama!"
Absolutely right! That is exactly what their plain is. They'll of course forget that it took more then five blacks running for the Democratic nomination before a biracial guy (who's clean and articulate and who doesn't have a negro dialect) was selected to be their nominee. If Cain does get the nod, then what will be the excuse by the left. I wonder can they even come up with an excuse that isn't laughable.
Gerald T;"Every time he says something disparaging about black people his poll numbers go up".
Good point Gerald T! The more he "disses" Blacks, the more conservatives seem to like him. The other day Cain said in an interview with conservative talker, Neal Boortz, that most blacks were racist. Cain allowed Boortz to supposedly "correct" him injecting the idea that most blacks are actually "bigoted" other than being racist.
Cain is openly and unequivocally saying he doesn't need nor want the majority of the black vote. Moreover, he's not even going to try. Therefore if he's going to get anywhere in the Republican Party he has to win over whites.
His message on every conservative media outlet has been consistent and crystal clear- "Black people are brainwashed, bigoted, and dumb." My question is this. What would happen to the campaigns of Mitt Romney or Rick Perry if they spoke the same way? president
Obama garnered better than 75% of the Jewish vote in the 2008 election. Should Rick Perry comment that most Jews are "brainwashed and bigoted?" Mitt Romney knows that evangelical Christians are not fond of his Mormon religious beliefs. Should Romney call them "brainwashed and bigoted?"
Can any other candidate in the GOP nomination race openly attack any opponents race or religion and not suffer negative consequences? When Perry's pastor attacked Romney's religion, Romney took the "high road." Romney denounced the comments without making any counter attacks. He could have called the pastor and his followers "brainwashed and bigoted", yet he did not.
Cain, like Romney with his religion, has had his detracters within the black community over his conservative views. Yet, Cain deems it necessary to attack blacks, and is also encouraged by white conservative talkers to attack blacks.
All the evidence points to you being absolutely right Gerald T. The Cain campaign is all about his being a "Black" guy who's viewed as an ideological polar opposite to President Obama. His popularity in the GOP has nothing to do with his policy ideas, genaral knowlegde of world affairs, political or executive experience, or even electability. Cain is merely a pawn (A black one. Because in chess, white always moves first).
CB;"Until a valid excuse can be given to why a racial group gives between 85 to 90 percent of it's vote to the Democratic party like clockwork with nothing to show for it, then it is brainwashing, because there is no rationality for it".
Nothing to show for it? Should blacks have something to show for voting Democrat? If so, you're contradicting yourself...yet again! I thought voting for a party just to get something from the "government" was a form of dependency. You are so used to using right-wing talking points, you don't even realize what you're saying when you say it!
I can tell you what your responce is going to be before you can think it. You're going to say;
"blacks vote Democrat because the get hand outs, affirmative action, welfare and are government dependent."
Am I right? Yet, you said blacks "have nothing to show for voting Democrat" and for that reason they are brainwashed? Are 70% of blacks brainwashed because they have children out of wedlock? Are black criminals brainwashed to terrorize black nieghborhood? Are black children brainwashed not to do well in school?
Tyrone, black conservatives like yourself place the blame of every dark cloud that hovers over the black community entirely on the Democratic Party. If the Democratic Party is so bad that it caused all the aforementioned social problems, shouldn't the same percentage of White Democrats be suffering the same?
Conservatives tell you, "the Democrats, "historically", are the party of the KKK. Some even go as far to say that white Democrats are racist. At the same time conservatives claim that Black Democrats are racist also? How much sense does that make????
Yet, "historically" black Democrats have repeatedly voted for white candidates, and presently, DEMOCRATS WHO ARE, WHITE, BLACK, HISPANIC, JEWISH, ETC., HAVE NOW VOTED IN THE COUNTRY'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.
I've also heard White conservative say that "white guilt" was a major reason for the election of a black president. Again I ask, what in the hell does guilt have to do with a persons vote, when no one has to know how you voted???
Summing all of the conservative talking points up, here's what you get;
Most black people are racist against whites. So the whites felt guilty and voted for a racist black president, who's mother by the way was white, which makes him not really black. Still, racist liberal whites felt guilty and voted for the black racist, and yet 85 to 90 percent of black people continue to vote for racist white Democrats.
As a conservative, you believe that crap. Yet you say most blacks are brainwashed?
I call BS on that one sir. This mans ethnic background has nothing to do with my Conservative choices for one thing and i can tell you there are a lot of folks who like his ideas because they are attractive ones weather he is Black or from Mars is irrelevant and i see no evidence of what you claim. So to white conservatives he is a pawn? That is funny sir. For one, most folks are white in the US and the majority are either conservative or center so what you claim can not be validated by mere facts overriding your non-sense. Are you living in a bubble sir? So let us see, are we going to reform the Tax Code/simplify it and shrink Government or are we going to increase taxes, spending and grow Government? A Village Idiot would know the right answer to that one.
p allen "Good point Gerald T! The more he "disses" Blacks, the more conservatives seem to like him."
If the logic made one once of sense, why didn't conservatives say anything in support Obama when he told the Congressional Black Caucus to "stop complaining, stop whinning, stop moaning". Doubling down on ignorance doesn't come up with intelligence allen.
p allen "The other day Cain said in an interview with conservative talker, Neal Boortz, that most blacks were racist. Cain allowed Boortz to supposedly "correct" him injecting the idea that most blacks are actually "bigoted" other than being racist.
Most blacks do harbor negative feeling towards whites, and most blacks are very antisemetic. So once again, Cain was merely telling the truth that you and other black progressives want to ignore. When Obama was elected, and blacks were saying "now it's our turn", what did that mean allen? Many blacks like yourself still look at 2011 as just being a few years removed from 1965. Sorry that the truth sucks for you, but it is what it is. The hypocrisy is fascinating in regards to Cain and Obama. Obama said he was going to be the president of all people not just blacks, and you all say nothing. When Cain says the same thing, you accuse him of trying to pander favor with white conservatives. The hamster on the wheel in your brain must be strung out on the Detroit 8 mile special allen.
p allen "Yet, "historically" black Democrats have repeatedly voted for white candidates, and presently, DEMOCRATS WHO ARE, WHITE, BLACK, HISPANIC, JEWISH, ETC., HAVE NOW VOTED IN THE COUNTRY'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT."
Why didn't the blacks who ran before Obama were voted for allen?
Why did it take a biracial man without a negro dialect for Democrats to vote differently? How many true blacks ran for the Democratic Nomination and were taken seriously by democratic voters? Was Carol Mosley Braun too black allen when she ran back in 04? As for black democrats voting for white democrats, what is your point? Of course they voted for white Democrats genius, as Wolfe Blitzer said, the Republican Party was seen as poison to them. Pay attention. As for the first black president. The true first black president will be the one who's both parents are black and have descended from slavery, sorry.
p allen "Most black people are racist against whites. So the whites felt guilty and voted for a racist black president, who's mother by the way was white, which makes him not really black. Still, racist liberal whites felt guilty and voted for the black racist, and yet 85 to 90 percent of black people continue to vote for racist white Democrats."
Now you are getting it somewhat allen. You say that Obama's mother was white, yet you still call him black right? White and Black are two races right? That would make them more then one right? That goes back to what I said about BI racial right? Keep ignoring the facts allen, I won't. White liberals were the ones saying to white conservatives and anyone else who is white that if they didn't vote for Obama, they did so because they are racists. When they presented that claim, they admitted that the only reason to vote for him was because of his presented race not based on Obama the candidate, his policies etc. You all made him the affirmative action candidate by playing the race card from the very beginning of his candidacy.
p allen "Tyrone, black conservatives like yourself place the blame of every dark cloud that hovers over the black community entirely on the Democratic Party."
Not entirely but mostly yes. Institutionalized poverty of blacks during the Great Society under Lyndon Johnson is the starting point for the downfall of black America. On the flip side who had been blammed for every ill facing blacks today allen, the Republican Party. That is why blacks are embedded with the belief that the Republican Party hates them, wants them in slavery, will poison their water, destroy leveys in New Orleans, will send them to the moon to mine for oil for Halliburton, infect the black community with aids, bring cocaine into the black communities etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. Tell me I am lying. I'm surprised Democrat strategists haven't' created a video ad of a Republican with a whip in his hand with the narrative reading"If you don't vote Democrat, this could be waiting for you". I remember back in early 06 when Republicans still controlled congress, Hillary Clinton went into a black church in Alabama and said "the house is run like a PLANTATION, you all know what I mean". Anything Republicans want to do that is opposite of what Democrats support, they immediately say that Republicans are racist and that their policies will hurt the black community the most, blah blah blah blah blah. Speaking of Jewish support of Democrats, I am going to talk about the antisemitism going on at the occupy wallstreet and other squatting events around the country soon.
p allen "If the Democratic Party is so bad that it caused all the aforementioned social problems, shouldn't the same percentage of White Democrats be suffering the same?"
Why do Democrats racially attack blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews etc who aren't Democrats allen?hmmm. If you guys believe so much in racial diversity, shouldn't that apply to people of different races being able to think however they want? Progressives are very quick to call any non white a racial sellout for not supporting their causes and the Democratic Party, yet white progressives don't do that to any whites who aren't progressives, I wonder why that is?
Can you still explain the 85 to 90 perecent vote rate for blacks for the Democratic Party? What was the agenda Democrats told blacks they were working on for them over the last few years allen?
anon "Cain on the other hand came from the real world, grew up in the real world outside of any bubble setting and worked to the top. Are we honestly going to trust these two men over the genuine article?"
Exactly, Cain is a self made man. He sees the world for how it really is not from an Ivory Tower like West, Obama and other progressive isolated academic eggheads.
p allen "Conservatives tell you, "the Democrats, "historically", are the party of the KKK. Some even go as far to say that white Democrats are racist"
Ah, so you are saying that there are no white racist Democrats allen? This is what I've been saying about generational brainwashing. In the minds of progressives the R in Republican stands for Racism, while the D in Democrat stand for Diversity. You proved my point without even knowin it. I've never ever heard you call out a racist in the Democratic Party, white or black. You've been the loyal foot soldier and attacked only the Tea Party, Republicans and Conservatives. You haven't said nothing about Reid, Biden, Bill Clinton, even Robert Byrd. You and Gerald got worked up over Niggerhead, but I don't remember you saying anything when Byrd said on Fox News back in 04 that there are many "white niggers" also. This why I pay much attention to the rock controversy, simply based on how phony progressives have been on the issue of race.
anon "I too don't understand why most of black America has this monolithic attitude, as if they have to act as a unit and think alike."
If you find the answer, send me an email. I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. Group think is an important technique progressives have to use in order to control their support base. That is why they racially attack anyone who they believe should be supporting them but don't.
p allen "His message on every conservative media outlet has been consistent and crystal clear- "Black people are brainwashed, bigoted, and dumb." My question is this. What would happen to the campaigns of Mitt Romney or Rick Perry if they spoke the same way? president "
The message progressives always say about black conservative is that they are "race traitors, uncle toms, aunt jemimiahs, simple sambos, tokens, house niggers, lawn jockeys" etc, so what was your point again allen?
I guess the historic losing streak of the Republican moderates haven't sunk in with them yet.
First it was "Bob Dole's" turn. Then Bush Jr.'s, then McCain. Now Romney.
Time from some FRESH blood. I don't want it to be Jon Hunstman's "turn" next time around. The guy is an establishment Demolican.
The only reason why we can't get a "real conservative" candidate is that the only perceived "acceptable" candidates are the one's NOT savaged by the press corp. And EVERY truly Conservative candidate IS going to get savaged by the LIBERAL MSM press corp. THAT is a foregone "given". So why do we keep letting the press corp vette OUR candidates? Are we stupid?
Tyrone, you spun every one of my points (to no avail of course). Most of my comments simply required a "yes or no" answer. But of course you'll spew talking point after talking point and never address the reality. However, for those questions that you cant spin, you simply avoid them all together. For that reason you managed to avoid spinning this one;
--Obama garnered better than 75% of the Jewish vote in the 2008 election. Should Rick Perry comment that most Jews are "brainwashed and bigoted?" Mitt Romney knows that evangelical Christians are not fond of his Mormon religious beliefs. Should Romney call them "brainwashed and bigoted?"
Can any other candidate in the GOP nomination race openly attack any opponents race or religion and not suffer negative consequences?---
Where Jews "brainwashed" into voting for Obama? Are evangelical Christians "brainwashed" for voting consistently Republican? Should Romney use the similar terms, such as bigoted and brainwashed to attack evangelicals because they disagree with his religion? Should Perry and Romney pick up on Cains lead, promote and agree that most Blacks are raicst and bigoted?
Don't spin, just give a straight answer...yes or no?
You mean blacks AREN'T racist and bigoted? I thought that the liberal argument was that EVERYONE was racist and bigoted? It's just a FACT of relativism and us all being "subjective individuals." Why should blacks be any different? Or are you going to make the progressive "those w/o power" argument that blacks like President Obama or Attorney General Eric Holder, have no power and therefore CAN'T be racist?
The Left is trashing Cain as the Pizza Man and labelling 9-9-9 "SimCity Economics"...
To which I reply, "Hermann Cain was Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve. It's time that this economy got some Pizza Power!"

Thersites;"The Left is trashing Cain as the Pizza Man and labelling 9-9-9 "SimCity Economics"...".
The Tax Policy Center gives the details of Cains plan a failing grade.
However, if you're a millionaire you shouldn't have a problem with it. But, if you make less than $200,000 a year, you'd be an idiot and a fool to support his plan. I fall in the to 50k+ range, a bit higher if I work during the summer. According to Cains plan I would pay about $4400 more.
Now mind you, Herman Cain is supposedly the "Tea Party" (T.E.A., or "Taxed Enough Already") candidate. Lets see how stupid of an answer you conservatives can come up with to rationalize why the tea baggers support Herman Cain...
Seems to me the house servant is Herman Cain who won't even acknowledge his own AFRICAN roots, Uncle Ruckus anyone.
