Herman Cain: Media Scared ‘A Real Black Man Might Run Against Barack Obama’

Mar. 31, 2011 1:58pm Jonathon M. Seidl

Every day, with every soundbite, we seem to be inching closer and closer to an official Herman Cain 2012 presidential run. He’s sure talking like a candidate. Just listen to what he said this week about Barack Obama.

At a recent Tea-Party event in Florida, Cain explained that he’s itching for a chance to prove that there can be a black president that isn’t a “dud.” To prove his firework capability, he delivered a theory as to why the liberal media is ignoring him:

“The liberal mainstream media, notice how they have tried to destroy Sarah Palin, notice how the more popular Michele Bachmann gets, the more they try to destroy her? You want to know why they go after those two ladies more viciously? Because they know that Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin is going to draw a lot of the women vote away from the Democrat party. They are scared to death of that if they were to run and get the nomination. They are doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama.”

Shark-Tank.net has the clip (via Weasel Zippers). The relevant comments come around 3:00 below:

Cain, you may remember, made headlines earlier this week when he vowed not to name Muslims as judges or cabinet members.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  He’s like the daddy Obama never had and badly needed. Unlike that Indonesian drunk who died in a drunk driving accident or the other one who led Obammy’s mammy around on a leash around the world like a white trophy wife before that concept was invented in the Black community… as Chris Rock said: “you ain’t a successful black man til you got yo self a white woman.” His words not mine.

  Actually it was Obama Sr, who died in the DD accident, the other one just flat out booked the scene. It’s like a labyrinth of losers weeding through the roots of this family tree.

Hahaha – It’s true Mr. Cain! Frankly, many of us have grown up knowing so many great people. The media is so behind on this. Liberals are coming across as dinosaurs and hovering ninny’s, fighting against a 1950′s mentality. They are so myopic, they have to recreate the tension of those days in order for their point of view to have any validity. Mr. Cain, talk the talk and walk the walk!

  Just for you to know, CAPRICA. Even if the school you went to did not give you a very good education, there is absolutely no reason that as an adult now [if you are one] that you can not still educate yourself. Books are for reading. Try a few. Maybe buy a dictionary and read it. In no time at all, you can learn how to write a sentence that makes sense. Yes you can, honest. Just give it a try.
  I am willing to bet money that if you work at it, you too can become literate.

I’ve been saying this all along. Its not Obamas’ color, its his policies. I happen to think Herman is a patriot and he would have my vote because I believe he has the very same core principles that I have, my family has, and the founders had. Did I mention I’m white? I think both he and Alan West from my home state of Florida would be great leaders or a great team. Just saying.

  You got that right. They only like the ‘right’ African Americans and this man doesn’t fit their self serving definition.
  
  Their definition was spelled out by Scranton Joe quite definitively when he so famously said and then was rewarded with the Obama shoe shiner position for saying: “”I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”"

  Yeah I did hear his no Muslims comment. Which is exactly why I would vote for this guy. When Muslims start speaking out and condemning the actions of others in their faith maybe I will change my stance. Why would anyone put a Muslim into our government when is all but obvious that the Muslims want to destroy our country and way of life? Like I said before , when they start speaking out against the “bad” Muslims and start showing us that they are peacful I may change my stance.

  NON, you’re muddled in your logic and arguments. Of course he nor anyone esle say that all muslims are responsible for some. The muslim community as a whole has not srongly or publicly admonished the jihadists.
  The crux of your responses indicate you’re just trying to provoke an argument because your responses are not within the context of the discussion. that ain’t goona work

From my email alerts, I see that Herman Cain is all over the headlines. He’s not a politiiician; he’s a successful businessman with conservative ideals, integrity, and a common sense approach. He’s very well liked by those who know him, and he is deeply interested in getting the direction of this nation turned back around so that it can prosper once again.

  Im with you CATB thing is he isnt a politician he is a business man and thats what the nation needs. Its probably why Trump is getting a decent amount of attention. Businessmen have apractical in your face approach. They tell it like it is b/c they have always had someoen to answer to be it a president, board of directors, stockholders, investors etc. So they cant just bs you and get away with it as the truth always comes out (has no agenda).
  
  If Cain decides to run I will vote for him, unless something scandalous comes out. But everything I have seen from him or about him I like. Oh and BTW Im white(italian) and support this possible black candidate.. so stick that in your pipe and smoke liberal zombie racist trolls!
  
  Its clear if BHO goes up against Caine, West or even Trump he will be humiliated. Whomever it is must thunder away directly and personally at BHO. They should break all debate protocol and attack BHO. I guarantee all of you if anyone does this you will see nothing like you have ever seen before in a debate. BHO will crumble live on air as we know he cannot talk off script. Its crucial to encourage whomever goes up against him to cross the line and attack BHO.

  Um! Barry Soetoro voted Present 90% of the time as a Senator.And he got elected president.
  So he only have a 10% lead over Herman. which is not insurmountable.
  
  Even “more better”( a lil precise public sKrool eddikashon there)is the fact Herman is not a pol.
  It’s pols who have got US in the mess we are now in.
  Most Pols talks out of both sides of their mouths.
  And you can bet the MSM won’t want or try to foist Herman on the republicans like they did McCain, whom they hand selected.

  Herman needs to be careful not to get too animated in public, and attempt, “cute,” in front of the press.. I have seen flashes of this in him and it’s a little unnerving.. I am an absolute Herman Cain supporter and would hate to see some small display that could render him unpresidential.. Lets not forget what one big, ” yeeeeeehaaaaaaawwwww,” did for howard dean..

  Sounds almost as if Cain is using the race card by saying that he’s a ‘real black man.’ Seeing as you Regressives get all up in arms when Democrats use it, it almost seems as if you are all hypocrites.

  I do not care a wit about his skin color or who his parents are. Does he have integrity? Do he love this country? Does he believe in American exceptionalism? Does he want to cut spending? Does he hate the nanny state? Does he want to stop the murder of the unborn and terminally ill? If he answers yes to all of these, then I will listen to him

  Dr. Cain is VERY active in the political arena. He has a website (Intelligent Thinkers), and he had a nationally syndicated radio program from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on WSB-Radio. WE KNOW where he stands. He doesn’t need a “voting record.” And, he can prove he was born and didn’t crawl out from under a rock in Kenya.

I’m not saying anthing good or bad about these me, I like West myself but do we really know anything about their view on certain topics or are we just looking at them cause their black. Just asking if we’re making sure we look at people for their real content, and we should know something about their past too.

  What’s a “real black man”?
  
  See, Cain finds identity in the color of his skin; And anybody who does so is going to perpetuate racial class warfare. It’s part of how Cain was raised, and he’s not going to let go the lie that lends significance to the color of ANYBODY’S skin.
  
  If Herman Cain gets elected, he will perpetuate class warfare.

  Obama was unelectable by the logical sense, he had no agenda of his own, and still struggles with words to articulate the cause of the day. Obama proves all you need is enough people with money to buy the presidency. God willing, Hermain Cain will draw enough supporters for himself, or endorse who he recommends.

  @and to the republic,
  
  “That may be the funniest post on this thread. You are not serious? You obviously do not know Herman Cain.”
  
  I know he made an issue out of his skin color.
  
  Honestly, what’s a “real black man”? Obviously, there is some kind of ideology associated with the color of his skin, in his mind. That is outright racism.
  
  But what of the ideology, anyway? Of course it’s the idea that the imagined “class” of white people owe the imagined “class” of black people something in reparations. Color isn’t a class – if someone was racist against someone else, then the specific offender owes something to the specific victim; And if one of them isn’t alive anymore, then nothing is owed because either there’s no one to whom reparations must be given, or there’s no one from which to take reparation.
  
  Color is not a class. Stop perpetuating class warfare. (That’s not directed at you, specifically)
  
  It takes a racist ideology such as those held by such groups as the KKK or the Black Community to convince someone that the color of their skin means something. And while I realize that merely claiming to be a part of the Black Community doesn’t make you as dangerous as the KKK, it’s still a group that is based on the same lie, which is that your color is significant to how you define yourself.
  
  And that is how I know Herman Cain will perpetuate racist class warfare, if he becomes President – he still thinks the color of someone’s skin is something in which to find identity.

  I hear what you’re saying. But in this next election, we need the best candidate that can beat the failure POTUS we now have. Right or wrong, skin color may be the best chance of winning the election. As to whether you would vote for Cain, if he wins the nomination are you not going to vote or will you vote for Obama? We cannot afford the wild card of a 3 way race. We need all conservatives to vote! And it has to be an overwhelming victory so that the win is decisive enough to overcome the cheating that will surely happen!

  I’ve been saying that for months now, the libs are terrified of a black conservative president and/or the first woman president being a conservative. Or the president and vice-president is one of each.
  
  We can only hope. Unfortunately, Herman Cain will get the “Uncle Tom” retoric from many blacks and “not another black president” from the whites. He will have an uphill battle all the way regardless of his actual position of the issues. In any case, I wish him the best of luck.

  “As to whether you would vote for Cain, if he wins the nomination are you not going to vote or will you vote for Obama? We cannot afford the wild card of a 3 way race.”
  
  That just means we have to show people that it’s not the party label that’s important, but how Constitutional they are. We have to talk about the pros and cons of each potential candidate.
  
  And actually, I’m even more against the Republican party after the midterm. Where are the conservative candidates who say that the Socialist/Marxist “elected” officials have taken the oath of office under duress and therefore guilty of treason, and their pretended legislation has no force of law?
  
  The Obama Administration and the Progressives in office are enemies of the United States and need to be tried for treason.

  If you understood what Obama and his minions are about to throw at us for his next campaign, then you would know that it will take a minority or a female to beat him. Think it all through and you will see. What I find both ironic and fortunate for our side is… we have some superb minority and female candidates about to climb aboard.
