That was technically a Herman Cain argument. So, stop worrying about liberals and progressives, if Herman Cain is the guy, not merely a "we care for blacks" propaganda, and republicans will put him on the ticket. But, what if he is not? Would it prove republicans to be racists? Talk to me when republicans have him on the ticket. Okay? The crocodile tears flooding these boards from so-called conservatives about racism is amusing though.

The Neo Prog propagandists would go crazy trying to spin hate outta that. lol
What if?
How or why would this ticket benefit the country?
Surely you have some reason to vote for them other than their respective races/ethnicities?

Funny how no one has responded to the list of quotes you so helpfully provided.
Bottom line is that the Rs really do think people are that gullible. We saw it when they elevated Michael Steele (we got us one!), saw it when they elevated Palin (we got a woman too!), saw it when they trotted out poor Bobby Jindal to provide the response to the state of the union address.
It's all show, no substance with them.

Now, I happen to think that Marco Rubio could be a reasonable candidate some years hence, but, if I were him, I would run so far from these people who clearly only want to use him as a token of how big the Republican tent might be and clearly do not value him for anything other the accident of his birth.

Could you please show where in my post above it says I believe all black people should act and think and vote alike.....I didn't and that makes you a liar.





But keep protesting loudly and frequently about how SOME people aren't racist....the more you protest and the more you bring up the subject....the more race matters to you.

That is a VERY interesting question you pose. I wasn't on this forum in 2007-2008. Can you, or anyone for that matter answer this question. Were the conservatives as nasty, vicious, childish and in so much of an attack dog mode when the progressives worked through their nomination process to their eventual nominee? Same question could be asked of 2003-2004.

Savoir...people change their minds. Don't be so pedantic. Unless, of course, you are mainly about style points.

New information develops, or comes to light...if you are a mature, comfortable in your own skin type of person, then you might change your viewpoint.

Long way to go.

I didn't say he was an Uncle Tom. I said he was a "good one" and it's not because he's a black Republican. It's because the reason the Republicans like him is that he's not like those "other blacks" He subscribes to the racist theory that blacks are too stupid to think for themselves, although of course he's different, not like those "other blacks" He also plays the race card a whole lot and the cons seem to love that


"[the Media] are doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama"
-Herman Cain, March 30, 2011

Obama is not a strong black man"
-Herman Cain, March 30, 2011

"A real black man is not timid about making the right decisions"
Herman Cain, June 30, 2011

"it is documented that [Obama's] mother was white and his father was from Africa."
Herman Cain, June 30, 2011”

Also his blacks are too stupid to think for themselves statement
