Cain got caught in a lie.

[thereisnospoon]

Amen! I watch it yesterday and today. Cain is certainly not a role model for blacks

That would be LIBERAL blacks.

I'm listening to them discuss it on TV. They showed a clip from a Cain interview from yesterday. He was asked why, since he lived in Atlanta, Georgia why he didn't march. He said the marchers were college students and he was in high school. It was pointed out that he was at MLK's college from 1963 to 1967, and in his 20's. He said that his father taught them not to get in trouble and they if they were told to move to the back of the bus, they moved to the back of the bus. Cain was asked what would have happened if Rosa Parks followed his father's advice, where would blacks be today? He said his father didn't give advice to Rosa Parks and at this point, became very, very angry and said, "Don't tell me how to be black".

Now this is a guy who has questioned Obama's "blackness and Americanism" and calls other blacks "brainwashed". A man who sat in the back of the bus and lied about why he wasn't "involved". MLK would would not be a Republican today. Cain received benefits he didn't earn. That much is clear.

You are a worthless person, and I generally ignore you. However, this cannot be ignored. How exactly does a person EARN the rights derived from the Civil Rights movement? You are sick in the head.

There is no class warfare until the middle class fights back.

Look at Republicans. Slashing education. Voter suppression. Tax cuts for billionaires. Subsidies for corporations. Working to move millions of jobs to China. You have to "fight back" or Republicans will leave this a "third world country". Look at Cantor, arguing against disaster relief. Republican shouting "let him die" and cheering executions.

Look at North Carolina working to return to segregation.

How Republicans dealt with New Orleans after Katrina.

The promise of "Jobs Jobs Jobs" and then passing law after law based on religious and social issues.

I know you are nodding your head up and down, "But these are good things". And that's why we have to fight.

Blacks fought for their rights. "If not now, when?"

And it worked. And that fight was against white conservatives. The same confederate conservatives that yearn for the "good old days".

"Slashing education" "Voter suppression" "North Carolina trying to return to segregation"...
Ok , now you will provide links to FACTS of these things.
DO NOT post blogs or anything from think progress or snopes.

During most of the tumultuous Civil Rights movement Cain WAS between the age of 10 and 19- but yeah attack Cain's blackness!

4.1 Brown v. Board of Education, 1954
4.2 Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955–1956
4.3 Desegregating Little Rock, 1957
4.4 Sit-ins, 1960
4.5 Freedom Rides, 1961
4.6 Voter registration organizing
4.7 Integration of Mississippi universities, 1956–1965
4.8 Albany Movement, 1961–1962
4.9 Birmingham Campaign, 1963–1964
4.10 March on Washington, 1963
4.11 St. Augustine, Florida, 1963–1964
4.12 Mississippi Freedom Summer, 1964

The glorious mental midget Lawrence O'Donnell tried that shit... Cain shut his ass down big time.

What is so irksome is that he was basically telling Cain he wasn't black enough- A backhanded way of calling him an Uncle Tom.

I am still waiting to see the links to Cain questioning Obama's "blackness and Americanism" that Huggy claims.

Don't hold your breath....

I have a copy of that vinyl I purchased in Manneheim, Germany in the early 80's.

Since the left's argument seems to be that Cain isn't black enough (whatever the hell that means), what the hell has Obama ever done that wasn't entirely self serving? Obama's worn his half-blackness like a thorny crown and used it to bludgeon any opposition his entire life.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Cain is clearly an Uncle Tom. While there is nothing illegal about that - it certainly denotes a measure of dishonesty as to who he is. His past civil rights non-participation; hiding behind the Navy as a civilian to avoid Vietnam; zero political experience. Hell, has he ever advocated for anything - racial or otherwise?

BINGO! Proof right there of Liberal closet racism.
Yeah dakota, you're busted.
As far as you Libs are concerned anytime a black person goes "off the reservation" you refer to them as "Uncle Tom" or worse yet a "House ******"...
You will all burn for this. We will get you on election day. You will pay for your bigotry.
Your time in DC is nearing it's end. You will soon understand that political power is not a Lefty birthright.

Oh yeah.. that's why I have him on ignore.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Is this the same "plantation" that republican-voting, white, evangelical, christians are on?

No.
It's the ghetto plantations that your democratic leaders want to keep you in so you'll be forever dependent on them.

And if you can't capitalize Christ's name, keep Him out of your posts.

Does that go for allah, budda or vishnu as well?

What has the national republican party done for white, evangelical, christians over the past 50 years.

Kept liberalism at bay.

Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, but grew up in Georgia. He attended Samuel Howard Archer High School in Atlanta, from which he graduated in 1963. He then attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, from which he graduated in 1967.

How in the hell could an able, intelligent black man living in ATLANTA, GEORGIA during the 60s not participate in the civil rights movement?

You just answered your own question.

He couldn't have IGNORED it.

Herman Cain was between 10 (1955) and 19 (1964) during the most tumultuous days of the Civil Right's. How disgusting for you to suggest that he was bad for not being involved by marching. Thousands of southern African Americans' did not march- for sundry reasons many of which were due to years of reprisal- but regardless, how obscene of you, to accuse Cain of being a bad black man, because at 10 he did not get involved the way you think he should have.

He hid at the back of the bus while others lead the movement

why do you hate black people?

He is not the only candidate I like, but he is certainly a kind and intelligent man- He exudes a gracious and sincere character- but more importantly, he is a man of ideas... Can we please elect a man of ideas!

 

[Conservative]

Amen! I watch it yesterday and today. Cain is certainly not a role model for blacks!

Yeah? Why not?

Because he did NOT LEAD

So, the only people who can be role models for black Americans, are people who lead the civil rights movement?

Why do you hate black people?

 

[Conservative]

Possibly. And your point is...?

Why do some believe the Civil Rights Movement involved nothing but MARCHING? Geezus H. Kryst, don't you people know anything about racial history in America?

Your whole claim that Cain did not participate in the civil rights movement is based on his not marching in Selma, dipshit.

 

[asterism]

He hid at the back of the bus while others lead the movement

That's comical coming from someone that hasn't done a thing in her life!

I'd challenge you for proof but I already know you don't have any about Cain.
