Herman Cain: Obama Has ‘Never Been a Part of the Black Experience in America’

GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain appeared on Neal Boortz’s radio show Tuesday to discuss comments made by left-wing critics in the African American community — like Cornel West and Harry Belafonte – asserting Cain is “not authentic.” The comments came on the heels of Cain’s interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell last week, in which he stated that, while in high school, his father had encouraged him to focus on studies rather than on the Civil Rights Movement.
Cain called remarks about “authentic blacks,” a “crass, desperate attempt to try and, here again, insult me. What do they mean by ‘authentic’?”
Cain, who is a descendant of slaves in Georgia and Tennessee, asked Boortz rhetorically how much more “authentic” he needs to be.
Mediaite fills in the details:
It seems that nearly every notable black pundit had weighed in on Cain’s experience, from Melissa Harris-Perry to Cornel West to, sure why not, Harry Belafonte.
Boortz asked Cain to define what it could possibly mean to be an “authentic black” person. Cain responded that he didn’t know, before proceeding to trace his family tree back to his ancestors’ experience as slaves in Georgia.
…
Boortz also told Cain that, in certain rural portions of Georgia, one can see people driving by in trucks that have a Confederate flag sticker on one side of the bumper, and a Herman Cain campaign sticker on the other. For Cain, that means that Southern “rednecks” (to quote Boortz’s description) care less about the color of his skin, and are thus less bigoted, than certain liberal members of the black community.
The conversation eventually lead to the topic of President Barack Obama and his lack of involvement in issues affecting the black community. In the interview, Boortz and Cain asserted that Obama has “never been a part of the black experience in America.”

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 8:27pmI’m not saying that Herman Cain was always in the upper class like he is now, but he did NOT start in the underclass. He did NOT experience the scourge of poverty. In America, the vast majority are blessed with an ignorance of what real poverty looks like. Nor should anyone confuse my claims, with a claim that I understand what that’s like either–I, too, have been insulated from much of the suffering of poverty.
Just because Herman Cain wasn’t born rich, just because he later became rich by a combination of luck, skill, and work, does not mean that he understands the lives of those who lack one or more of those things, and don’t become rich. Those people for whom life is a struggle to just survive, let alone actually LIVE. Herman Cain has never had to live that life and make those choices, so how could he possibly understand what that does to people? It’s a lot harder to understand that which is not familiar to us than people understand, not least of which because we drag assumptions we’ve made in the course of our OWN life into the observation.

No, but only because he had the example of a Father & mother who worked hard and taught him the importance of hard work, and all during a time in this country that without question was difficult for blacks.
You would have us believe others in this situation tried but failed when in truth they never had the ability to succeed, you like all progressive believe you can control the outcome with money even though the real problem lay in the Heart and mind of the individual.

Cain was born in the south as a poor black. Graduating from Morehouse is a quintessential black experience for those blacks that go to college. It is traditional Black College. It is much more “authentic” than Obama’s College experience.
Obama went to a hoity-toity private preparatory school.
“In 1971, Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Armour Dunham, and attended Punahou School, a private college preparatory school, from the fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979″ wiki
“Herman Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Luther Cain, Jr., who was raised on a farm and worked as a chauffeur, barber and janitor and Lenora Caine (née Davis), a cleaning woman. Cain has said that as he was growing up that his family was “poor” but “happy”. Cain related that his mother taught him about her belief that “success was not a function of what you start out with materially, but what you start out with spiritually”. His father worked three jobs to own his own home – something he achieved during Cain’s childhood – and to see his two sons graduate. [7][8] [4]
He grew up in Georgia [9] and graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 ” -wiki

I am not saying I disagree with you, merely questioning exactly what is your point? By your own argument the vast majority of us in the US (you and I both included), by world standards, really don’t know what it is like to be at the extreme bottom of poverty.
So does that mean any person who makes the bid for the presidency doesn‘t know what it’s like unless they were born nearly homeless, living in a metal shack out in the woods living off of rodents and tree bark?
And yes I understand the underlying message here – even our poor are rich by the standards of the world. However I think the point here, in this instance, is that comparing Obama‘s life to Cain’s life is apples and oranges. Obama did not start from relative meager beginnings whereas Cain did.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 10:44pmWow! Some of you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. For sure Herman’s family did not live off welfare as they both worked and dad worked 3 different jobs when necessary. I think most of us growing up in those years knew the difference. He lived in the South and probably had the greatest awareness of how a black kid grew up. His difference was, he had a Godly mom & dad to teach right from wrong. He was prob. encouraged by his parents to make something of himself.
As a kid, I remember in those days we did not defy authority. In the South you grew up respecting your elders and those in authority. I’d have never spoken back to a teacher, a bus driver, nor a policeman or neighbor. We knew better than to be disrespectful, because of our good upbringing.
So, this answers whomever had to bring up his riding in the back of the bus with no hateful remarks.
As far as Obama, he was raised in Indonesia until 10, learning the Koran, going to a Muslim school. It must have been hard to learn a different lifestyle after that until he want away to college on a scholarship meant for an Indonesian student to Occidental College. In all his college experiences, he seemed to gravitate to the Marxist/communist types and admitted it in his book. Knowing all this, I’d say Obama has really never experienced what it was to be a child growing up in America.

They won’t even disclose that type of information to Congress, which has the authority to demand it- and have demanded it and been told no by the Fed, claiming that they are exempt from scrutiny by Congress because they are an independent entity free from “political influence” while simultaneously being within our government.

Report Post »you can read it in the roots of Obamas rage.both are anti-colonialists and everything Barry has done since being installed is to make America pay for it’s past sins,stealing the wealth from other nations is just one of his perverted views,remember the apology tour? Oh Barry will pay lip service to American blacks he has to make it look like he’s concerned,but rest assured Obamas agenda is to end capitalism, ie the transformation of America.The American people have news for you Marxist in chief you will fail.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:58pmI was just addressing the black issue but it‘s true he doesn’t identify with any American,he has a disdain for Americans and he believes it’s his duty to correct all the ills America has caused,he has nothing but contempt for the rule of law and the constitution,All his mentors were either communists,socialists,or progressives and his world view is skewed toward these radicals that want the end of capitalism.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:40pmI cannot honestly believe we’re having a discussion nationally about which candidate is more black. How absurdly racist from all parties, and I’m disappointed in Cain for even bothering to express such a sentiment. What next, Mitt Romney telling us he’s the whitest guy in the room bar none and Ron Paul challenging him to a round of “name that European dialect” to prove who is more white?
Christ almighty, race race race race. The exact opposite of Mr. King’s vision. We‘re livin’ it. Wee.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:51pmI agree with you that Mr. Cain should not lower himself to the level of the left. It is apparent the left views him as a threat and they are reaching into the old bag of tricks to try and get him to slip up. Mr. Cain, poses a real challenge to the president.

Slavery casts a loooooong shadow over American history. The Republicans of the Reconstruction era did the same thing their modern day democratic decendants do today: manipulate blacks. You’re right it is very racist.
But it needs addressing.
It is a shame…

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 8:38pmReally this is an absurd. Who cares. This is a melting pot, and the majority of the ctiznes in the U.S. are mixed race now anyway. However the conservatives need to also put a lid on this Muslim, birther crap.
I do think Obama has been part of the black experience in the U. s. as most blacks have faced discriminatoin and still do.
I think Bill Maurr go it right t when he said” The white washing of the Niggerhead rock is a metaphor for republicans views on race.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 8:20pmAs Mr. Cain said this morning, the people aren‘t letting the MSM contol the message and so far lack of campaign cash hasn’t kept him from getting his word out. We all know Romney has the cash and the establishment Rinos are pushing hard for him. I have donated to Mr. Cain and will again.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:33pm“Boortz also told Cain that, in certain rural portions of Georgia, one can see people driving by in trucks that have a Confederate flag sticker on one side of the bumper, and a Herman Cain campaign sticker on the other. For Cain, that means that Southern “rednecks” (to quote Boortz’s description) care less about the color of his skin, and are thus less bigoted, than certain liberal members of the black community.”
Damn, I am not crazy about 999 myself but I have to admit Cain has by far the best personality. I really love this guy.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:43pm999 is a supremely bad idea. It establishes a VAT and keeps the income tax. Let the “wrong people” get in charge, which happens 100 out of 100 times, and it will be 20% VAT, 35% Income tax, -4% spending “cuts in the growth”.
And not one person here deep down honestly doesn’t understand that this is exactly what would happen.

I am a Cain supporter, but I agree that there is great danger in a national sales tax. A technical point, though: Hermann Cain has proposed a national sales tax, not a VAT. The distinction is that a sales tax is imposed only at the point of sale to the ultimate consumer, while a Value Added Tax imposes taxes along the way to the consumer (in addition to the tax on the ultimate consumer).

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:32pmHermann Cain speaks the truth. The truth hurts. Cain is a decendant of slaves in Georgia and Tennessee. Obama is a decendant of slave HOLDERS in Kenya. Speaking of Holder . . . . . never mind, that’s too far afield.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 7:32pmThe Obama is black? Abandoned by his black dad to be raised by a white mom, white grandparents, attended (allegedly) the Punahu school in Honolulu (predominantly white), entire University experience in white upper crust schools, but he smoked Kools and splits, so I guess he’s authentically black.
Herman Cain is for real.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 9:06pmObama was largely raised by his grandmother after his father took a powder and his mother proved too flaky for the job. If that’s not the black experience in America, I don’t know what is.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 10:05pm@ Chet.
Unfortunately, that part of “the black experience,” being raised by grandparents instead of a nuclear two-parent family is primarily a consequence of liberal-progressive policies reaching back for nearly a century. I see this every night in clinic. Babies raising babies, depending on grandparents who don’t know much more than the parents do about raising kids. One night I had FIVE generations of women in one room, all under age 60. I’ve learned never to ask “where’s Dad?“ Often it should be ”who is Dad,” but that’s for social services, the courts, and not for doctors to ask. If you look up the numbers on intact black families they were in greater numbers before social security, the great america, the civil rights amendment, midnight basketball, section 8 housing and all the other programs which have been paying “reparations,” blood money and bribes to placate (and, I believe, intentionally weaken and create dependency among) the masses and reduce rioting/looting/burning which are still pretty much endemic in the population. Cain knows all this. And he’s not looking to destroy America through some twisted “Dream from his Father) either.
