Is This Why Blacks Vote For Democrats?

The assumption that people will change their voting history based on the color or gender of the opposing party's candidate may not hold true. Hillary did not appeal to conservative women, and Palin did not appeal to liberal women. I don't think Cain will appeal to liberal blacks...what he may do is increase the number of conservative blacks who vote, as Obama increased the number of liberal black voters.

This is very cognizant observation and I totally agree.

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."

Cain was a kid in high school and the very seriously dangerous demonstrations were being conducted by adults. You seem to NOT want to understand the world as it was in the '60s. The civil rights movement was not a movement by kids suffering from angst but rather by adults who realized the grave risks that they took.

Planned Parenthood was created by its founder, Margaret Sanger, to limit the population of the black community. This is a bold statement to make, but if you study the history of the creator of Planned Parenthood and the results of this organization, then you would have to agree with my statement.

African Americans make up only 12% of the population of the United States but make up 35% of all abortions performed since 1973. Sanger stated her goal this way,"[Slavs, Latin, and Hebrew immigrants are] human weeds ... a deadweight of human waste ... [Blacks , soldiers, and Jews are a] menace to the race . Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock." - Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review. How would she do this? In a letter to one of her partners she wrote, "The minister's work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population , and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

(Please google "Negro Project" and read!)

I think that the policies of the Democratic Party are racist and that many of those who enact them are aware of what they are doing. In the 1960's Democrat (Daniel) Patrick Moynihan led a study group that evaluated what the effects the war on poverty would have on the black family. His report called The Negro Family: The Case For National Action concluded that the war on poverty would actually be a war on black families . He believed the black family would be destroyed. This is the very plan that the Democrats have carried out. He was right. Now over 70% of black families are single parent homes.

Arlen, I don't know how old you are but I can tell you I do understand the world (particularly the South) in the 60s because I was there and I participated. And I am four years younger than Herman Cain.

MLK delivered his "I have a Dream" speacb after Cain had graduated from high school and was about to start college. The three civil rights workers who were killed were killed when Cain was a college sophomore. The march from Selma to Montgomery was when Cain was a college junior. Cain had already graduated when MLK was assassinated.

And he missed it all, by choice.

No, he achieved it.

No, these liberals would rather cling to Obama, who is by all measure, white.

If he achieved it, he wouldn't pulling the race card every time someone questions him on something.
