Vote for white republican vs. black democrat = you are racist
Vote for black republican vs. black democrat = you are racist
Vote for black democrat vs. white republican = you are not racist
Vote for black democrat vs. black republican = you are not racist
If you look at what's here - all democrats must be black and all republicans must be white - since you can only be a racist when voting against a democrat.
All of this is BS! If Obama was white and Cain WAS black I still would not vote for him! He is a career businessman not a politician, meaning his focus is one thing NUMBERS! If he was a legit tea partier and tnot a teabagger I would have some respect for him....but since he is not well....
Remember that Cain supports affirmative action, i don't think he will be the nomination but I respect the guy for being conservative, black and not being scared of bullies.
He gets my respect even though I'm not a Republican.

When did he say that? I'm not doubting you but I just wanted to know.
I know that he BENEFITTED from AA, just like Clarence Thomas. We all know how that goes
A_Lexus, don't sweat the BS! how quickly they forgot Micheal Steele and what was that other black guy who no one voted for in I think Mich? Cain has no chance of winning the nonmination PERIOD! The only reason that they are even paying vague attention to him is because he is black not because of the stupid sh*t that he spouts. Cain is that H.N that can be used to say and do things that they (white tea bag republicans) can't to black people. Nevermind that he grew up in the segregated south but had no ties to fight for the equality for black people. He is what I call a "turtle politician". Througout the turbulent 60's and 70's where was he? He tucked his head in his shell and waited for everything to blow over.
The republican party will NEVER allow a blackman or a woman to represent them in the White house.
Mike Steele received @45% of the vote against Ben Cardin (whose turn it was to be Senator) in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by better than 2 to 1. Steele received less than 20% of the Black vote in that election.
In the Democratic primary that year Cardin defeated former NAACP Chair and Congressman Kweisi Mfume 43% to 40%.
I've been saying all along that Cain doesn't stand a chance to be his party's representative because of this fundamental reason. His policies don't matter, but the problem of his race is a glaring problem among GOP supporters.
Herman Cain is nothing more than Michael Steele Part II.
Prominent Black Republican's walk a mighty thin line within the party and they know that to reach for higher positions/offices requires checking some of their dignity at the door. It matters not to some (not all or even most but some) White Republicans if Herman Cain believes in every policy in which they believe...they wouldn't even dream of welcoming Herman Cain into their homes.
I wish that this was not so and if things were different within the Republican party (including who they use as their media mouthpieces) they actually would have a greater number of Blacks who vote Republican. There are many, many conservative minded Black Americans. The Sunday dinner table of many middle/upper class Black American families is a place of some of the most "conservative" viewpoints one could possibly hear.

Is it more important to be a career politician that has never held an executive position or a businessman that understands how the system works? Obama sure didn't understand it when he decided to run for Pres.

Under that scenario - nothing changes. White people would still be racists - because it's all about who's the Democrat and Republican.

Are saying that Cain would beat Mfume in a democratic district? NOT!!

I never understood political loyalty, politicians act in their own best interest why should'nt the voters? I would vote for a republican or democrat depending on the issues and not just one either
