From The Daily Beast (emphasis added):

[Herman Cain] has applauded Arizona’s immigration crackdown. He has warned against the danger of Sharia creeping into our legal system. He has even come close to saying that many of those who are poor choose to be. “When I heard him on TV I was like, ‘What kind of Negro is this?’?” says Ralph Anderson, an unemployed construction worker in Los Angeles. “I’ve been looking for work for a year, and I dare someone to tell me I don’t want a job and that I don’t want to have money to pay my bills and take care of my children.”

Cain would likely object to being called "Negro." He's made it clear he prefers Black Walnut.
