Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

[dmek25]

I agree with these:
- liberal establishment is scared a real black man will run against Obama.
Not from a racial perspective, but strictly an election perspective, if Cain attracts even 10 additional percent of black voters in 2012, Obama's done.
exactly what does this mean? as opposed to a fake black man?

Cain and Obama can debate their "realness" if Cain wins the nomination.

For what it's worth, Cain is blacker.

There are white people blacker than Herman Cain. He can claim to be whatever he wants but when it come time to nut-up he soiled himself. I will take the half-black inner city community organizer who's lacking authentic black experience upbring thank you.

And Cain's authentically black conservative closet is filled skeletons. Perfect timing for halloween. This is going to be fun to see unfold...to deny or to no comment, that is the question.

Whats interesting to me is that so much credence is already being giving to a third party unnamed source. Its weird that when the stories broke of Obama being gay and connected to Larry Sinclair, the reports were largely dismissed by major media outlets, even though the sources were named and firsthand accounts.

Perhaps Cain was involved in a sexual harassment allegation suit, who knows. I bet any settlement for alleged harassment would be with the agreement to remain silent. So like Obama’s gay sex and drug allegations we should take Cain’s harrasement allegations with a grain of salt.

I don't remember J. C. Watts being accused. It's not racist when it isn't a black or white thing, believing it to be is racist. Then again, there aren't many black conservatives to have a sizable statistics pool to make a fair assessment of the left's racism towards black conservatives.

Sexual deviance knows know color.

Wow, it almost sounds like when it comes to who you would “take” (or I guess vote for), if between Cain and Obama, you would base it off of the person’s political ideology, and not just based off of how black they are…. What a novel idea, voting for someone not based off of the color of their skin.

I read the Morehouse atile and didn’t see anything disgraceful in it, can you calirfiy? Also what do you mean when you say there are white people blacker than Cain? Do you not consider black conservitives, black?

Did you read the article, especially the end? You really don't get what's disgraceful? Well, it's claiming Obama is not authentically black and fawning over Dr. Martin Luther King admirably in speech after speech but when it came time to participate in the marches, protests, and civil disobedience with MLK and 99% of your peers for your civil rights you chose to stay home and obey Jim Crow laws.

Yeah, if we are going to talk who is blacker there's something to be said for Jewish and White civil rights advocates who marched and helped get us to where we are today being blacker.

Herman Cain, a successful conservative "black" business man, civil rights free rider, and apparently a sexual harasser.

So a short part of the article says that he wasn’t involved in the civil rights movement makes him disgraceful in your eyes? Both people that talk about him say he was respected, and although not part of student affairs that he was well liked. Cain has himself alluded to dealing with a family illness during that time. And the 99% is a quote from a former student that seems more like a generalized statement that most Morehouse students participated, not that 99% literally did based off of anything besides his generalization.

We are both too young to have been able to make decision to know if we would have participated in the Civil Rights movement had it happened during our day and time. I would like to think that I would have been involved, as im sure you do too. But it’s a lot easier to say that in retrospect then to have actually been there see some of the horrible things happening in real time and still get up to act. So as much as you or I can call someone out for not participating I don’t think either of have a right to.

I look at it for what it is. Cain was involved with a family illness, which we can do nothing but speculate the circumstances of. Maybe it was his mom’s dying wish that he not be involved, maybe his 3rd cousin had a cold and Herman needed to bring him soup. Either way neither of us know enough to call his actions during that time disgraceful, by any means.
