Deroy - you have it all wrong.
If the pubbies nominate Cain it BECAUSE they are racist.
Psss!! Hey buddy? Wanna buy some real nice watches?
Clarence Thomas’ nomination worked so well to dispell that myth didn’t it?
Right. Just like the GOP backing Clarence Thomas for the last 20 years has.
I disagree...
I think it would do more to wake up many Blacks into realizing they are backing the wrong party.
The attacks on the GOP for racism would grow exponentially in an effort to get them back on the plantation.
Kinda thought the election of Obama would do that. LOL
Two points. The Republicans fought against slavery and Jim Crow and southern DEMOCRAT oppression of blacks for a hundred years. Did that end the race issue? Hell, no. The Democrats and their prostitute press just lied about it, until most people forgot history.
Second, I am NOT voting for or against anyone on account of race, or sex, or anything of that kind. I don’t care WHAT race or sex. I’m voting for them because they are the best candidate. Or I’m voting against them because they are the worst candidate.
I know this is well meant, but I’m really bothered by it. Herman Cain stands and falls on his own merits.
Sure, the Democrats play the race card, lying their heads off about it as they do so. I don’t think we need to get sucked into that game.
Racial issues are the dems bread and butter!
That is a really BAD reason to elect Herman. There are many better reasons.
BS
The entire article is full of interesting possibilities about the formidable Herman Cain, Deroy has some good points.

Freeing the slaves will end the GOP race issue forever.
So far four Democrats here have told me that Republicans would NEVER pick Cain, instead they will pick Romney who Obama will point out is a flip-flopping phony.
Oh, are we now dividing the races on Free Republic? I judge everyone on their character, not the color of their skins. I am white. Do you want to make something of it? I work a minimum of eight hours a day on the computer for Herman Cain. That race has even been brought up on your post is offensive to me. Maybe I’d better find another forum to log onto.
Supplying the deciding votes for the ERA will end the GOP race issue forever.
Just finished a great book on the subject - “Setting the record straight: American history in Black & White” by David Barton.

Most Black Americans today know NOTHING about Black History earlier than MLK and Malcom X. If they did, none of them would be Democrats, Ever.
The Democrats were clearly the pro-slavery party in the 1800s, and following the Civil War the Democrats fought against giving black Americans any Civil Rights and did everything to prevent blacks from being a part of the political process which is why they formed the KKK to intimidate blacks and whites from voting for pro-civil rights Republicans. And for over 100 years Democrats in congress voted time and time and time again Against any civil rights legislation proposed by Republicans.
Democrats today still have Blacks in a form of slavery, by twisting their knowledge of history. And their new Slave Master is keeping’s them in “Want”, and the Government being the provider.

The Democrats did not elect their first black American to the U.S. House until 1935, and he was from the North. The Southern Democrats waited until 1973. The first Black Senator was not elected until 1993.
what is interesting to me is that if the Republicans nominate Cain it will be because he was the best person for the job and not some sort of affirmative action crap.
“Cain Nomination Would End GOP Race Issue Forever”
No, it wouldn’t. Professional race baiters will all have to die (natural deaths) and then probably the next generation too before that poison is leached out of the black community.
