The Al Sharpton radio show always gets even stranger when radical Syracuse professor Boyce Watkins is a guest. (Last year, he suggested Limbaugh listeners and Fox watchers easily become violent.) On Monday, Professor Watkins told Sharpton that Herman Cain should run for president like Colin Powell, and never mind that Powell actually endorsed Obama in 2008. If he's like a Tea Partier, then Cain's a racist:
"What I will say though is that I hope he does not make this into a black man’s circus, by basically building votes within the right wing by constantly attacking the President in unfair ways. It’s one thing to say that the President’s policies are inadequate or incorrect, but it’s another thing to start acting like a Tea Partier or one of the birthers in terms of building a campaign on a basis of nonsense."
"So, I will respect Herman Cain a lot more if he approaches this election the way say Colin Powell would approach the election. Colin Powell is a Republican and he wouldn’t agree with President Obama on a lot of issues, but he would advocate from a position of love and respect for his constituency, as opposed to simply trying to bash away at another black man and to gain points by being a racist with a black face."

Which is kneel down and shove his face up obama’s behind?
Hmmm... Curiouser and curiouser
Racers AND Racists on the Al Sharpton radio show?
Whoda thunk.
Of course; every time there’s digestive irregularity or a change in the polar ice cap there’s only one explanation: ‘ya’lls RACIST’.

One would think the damned fools, as racist as they admittedly are, would want to elect the BEST black president they could, not some blathering, half-wit, street hustler like Orack Ubama. They will blindly and stubbornly defend this piece of trash until their last breath of earthly air. They don’t care how racist or how stupid they affirm they are.
“So, I will respect Herman Cain a lot more if he approaches this election the way say Colin Powell would approach the election.”
On his knees, mouth open?
“So now calling a President of the United States of America to account for his actions and policies is ‘racist’?”
Been that way ever since Bush left office.
Hey Al, which issues?? I did not see any! LOL
Remember, whatever advances Marxism is a moral good, whatever deters it is a moral evil,
but make sure that you frame that “evil” in such a way as to not reveal your true goals...
say, by calling a black man an autoracist.
Bent over with his pants down.
I love to see Herman Cain walk into a room with this coward. He would melt into the floor.
Obama is indeed a racist with a black face. There is nothing about the entire Obama Cabal that can’t be explained with their obsession with race based, socialist redistribution and National Socialist Central Planning. Their complete lack of the understanding of the actual functioning of a free society is paramount to their decision making.
In other words, “brutha’s gotsta stick togetha”. Color of skin is everything.
You said it all in your post #15. Excellent,.
Yeh we all love and respect Barry Soetoro. I’m sure Herman Cain can’t wait to love him to death. LOL!!
We’ve all been waiting for this haven’t we? You can’t really be black unless you are a democrat. That sounds like Plantation Rules to me.
So, he’s admitting that blacks can be racist?
Who said we’re not making progress.
What liberal logic there is in the world loses me....
Nothing wrong with the fist bump. It`s a lot more sanitary than a handshake. At my age it`s easy to get sick, so I don`t want to be shaking peoples hands.
They can assail GWB unfairly and mercilessly for 8 years, but we’re supposed to treat Obama with kid gloves because he’s Obama?
I love Herman Cain, but I’m having a hard time strategically handicapping a Cain candidacy. On the one hand, I don’t think he would peel off any significant amount of Obama’s black voter base (statistically, they are nearly all nanny-state drones), but on the other, he would unmask the overt racism on the left that usually goes ignored, like you see with these remarks.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if that would backfire enough to make a difference for us. I think the goal for this election is offering unaffiliated voters the exact opposite of Obama – a straight-talking serious government executive with a record of cost-cutting. Put me in the anybody-but-Obama category, but for the clueless people not convinced of his incompetence, we need someone who can clearly articulate why he’s been such a disaster.
For some of his RINO-ish proclivities, Chris Christie is probably our best bet, if he runs. He exposed and excoriated Corslime in ways voters can understand. Perhaps Cain could win, but I’d be worried about nominating someone who’s never won an election before, however impressive his record in business world (which is to say – very). He communicates well, but I don’t think he can crystallize a problem and solution like Christie can.
Either way, he certainly belongs in the company of everyone else, and I wish him well.
Or, to use a Star Trek analogy, the Borg collective. No individuality allowed, all must work towards the collective goal.
I guess I am a racist because I am prejudiced against the Leftist race.
It’s not “logic”, per se, but if you want to understand them, here ya go:
whatever advances Marxism is a moral good, whatever deters it is a moral evil
These libtards with a toxic postmodernistic mentality need to understand that just because they call somebody a racist does not make it true. They are guilty of misinterpreting or misunderstanding what somebody is saying. They do not realize that for something to be true, there has to be sufficient reason why it should be true.
A Professor? How scary....
I had to read this 3 times to see if there was an inteigent point.
There wasn’t. Just a lot of rambling nonsense.
The check clears, and presto Al appears.
Why handicap horses that are not in the race? Christie is not in the race.
I am interpreting this to mean that Obama and the rest of the ‘racers’ are terrified of Cain. He can call Obama out on his record and they can’t call him a racist for doing it. Also, since they set the racism bar so low, it will be hard for them to critize Cain without looking like partisan hypocrites.
It is worse than that.
This is American LIBERAL leaders advancing to COMPLETE INSANITY!
This is LITERALLY calling black white and white black.
This is making truth whatever you want it to be.
Give folks power with that sort of thinking and you get genocides.
Liberals MUST BE DEFEATED.
Well, technically, no one is.
They do not care if they look like partisans or hypocrites to _us_. We do not count. Only the more fragile elements of their collective base count: youth, college-educated white single women,wussified white male agnostics, wavering *independents*.
There are probably others.
They do whatever they like and justify it by citing the purity of their goals. Whatever our goals, they are tainted because they are opposed to theirs.
