Why do blacks vote Democrat
, because there are so few responsible black men! Many blacks have been duped into a paternalistic psychological slavery
where to be taken care of by the government is encouraged, freedom of thought is discouraged and to be different from the group is not tolerated. Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice and Michael Steele along with other Black Republicans are repudiated because they stand for responsibility and freedom, they are not on the Paternalistic Psychological Plantation.
Paternalistic psychological slavery. Does this sound like a relative of "brainwashing"?
Arlen I am thoroughly impressed! You are taking CV to school on here! And archer and the others who support the party that has fought against equal rights for Black Americans, and still do as they want to keep them held down and dependent on welfare, have run away as they have no answers! It is almost embarassing to watch them dodge and duck and scramble to try and find ways to not answer. Keep up the good work!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: And I am trying to put together a great article for FB on this and you have given me some great posts and links. Thanks!
Herman Cain, For The Sake Of Black America, Pipe Down!
I have reluctantly held my tongue on Herman Cain for quite some time now, but enough is enough. The “contender” for U.S. president is a comical Republican presidential candidate, and a disgrace to the Black community.
But what makes my skin boil is the painful reminder that Cain is a graduate (and member of the board of trustees) of my Alma Mater, Morehouse College (pause for unanimous gasp). Yes folks, a Black Republican is an alumnus from the only all-male Historically Black College and University in the country.
Now of course, I’m not saying it’s implausible for a Black man to be a Republican, because there are many of them roaming our American soil (sigh). However, the mere fact that Cain is the product of an institution that fosters social advocacy and a focus on the locality of the Black race, one would presume his political ideology to be one of progressive liberalism. There’s absolutely no component in the Republican agenda that benefits the African American community in any shape or form.
This is the same thing that was said about Bill Cosby. This is the attack on all successful black men. It would seem that the black community does not want to be weaned from the hind tit of government.
I have more to post on this subject but must presently go to Boulder to arrange a new office that I have opened (at the request of my wife). I have retired but we have decided that my retirement would be better spent by conducting my "business"(?) in more formal trappings.
Herman Cain's Curious Strategy For Attracting Black Voters
Herman Cain practically delights in not being a professional politician and he's unlikely to be confused for one, at least not this week.
Because the last thing a professional politician ever does is insult voters he claims to be interested in attracting, for instance, by saying that those same voters were "brainwashed."
But that's what Cain did Wednesday On CNN when he told Wolf Blitzer during a Situation Room interview:
"African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view.I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it's just brainwashing and people not being open minded, pure and simple.
... For two thirds of them that is the case. Now the good news is I happen to believe that a third to 50 percent of the African Americans in this country, they are open-minded. I meet them everyday. They stop me in the airport. So this whole notion that all African Americans are necessarily going to stay and vote Democrat, vote for Obama, that's simply not true. More and more black Americans are thinking for themselves and that's a good thing.
... I do think a third of them would vote for me based on my own anecdotal feedback. Now they won't be voting for me because I'm black. They'll be voting for me because of my policies and what I'm offering to fix this economy, starting with, as you know, my 9-9-9 plan. That's what they're responding too.

You DO realize that he started college there before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 right? Life was 100% different then, before the Republicans fought for and passed that Act to give Black Americans equal rights.
Conservative Voice, consider this: The Democrats accuse some of the voting public of being racists. Surely they would follow your advice and not accuse some who might vote for them. The Democrats accuse the Tea Party of being vile people. Surely they should not try to drive away their votes.
Your logic os flawed. Cain addresses the real world with plain speech. Professional politicians are the ones who choose their words to fit the audience. They are repulsive.
And who says that he wants to get all of the black vote? He has not said this.

Sure. College students marching in protests had a lot to do with getting the Civil Rights Act in the forefront.
The bill was called for by President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 11, 1963, in which he asked for legislation "giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public—hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments," as well as "greater protection for the right to vote." Kennedy delivered this speech following a series of protests from the African-American community, the most concurrent being the Birmingham campaign which concluded in May 1963.
In late November 1963 the assassination of John F. Kennedy changed the political situation. In his first address to Congress on November 27, 1963, President Johnson told the legislators, "No memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought so long."
I guess sitting at the back of the bus as instructed and not getting involved in the civil rights movement at his doorstep was his way of voting "present."
