Black History Month is Herman Cain Playing the Race Minstrel for CPAC
Posted by Chauncey DeVega on @ 3:12 pm, 2-12-11

In the immortal words of Megatron in Transformers: The Movie, Herman Cain’s speech at CPAC really is bad comedy. As you know, I find black garbage pail kids black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters.

When race minstrelsy was America’s most popular form of mass entertainment, black actors would often have to pretend to be white men, who then in turn would put on the cork to play the role of the “black” coon, Sambo, or Jumping Jim Crow. Adding insult to injury, in a truly perverse and twisted example of the power of American white supremacy black vaudevillians would often pretend to be white in order to denigrate black people for the pleasures of the white gaze.

Well, well, well. This writer is really PISSED. Mr. Cain has the NERVE to NOT be a Democrat.

Who is this presumed black writer? Why is he/she so hate filled and racist toward another member of his/her race?

What a disgusting lack of respect he/she shows for Mr. Cain's right to CHOOSE what political party he belongs to.

Could this be the reason?

Role in the defeat of the Clinton health care plan

Cain has been cited as one of the primary "saboteurs" of the 1993/1994 health care plan of President Bill Clinton and then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton:

The Clintons would later blame "Harry and Louise," the fictional couple in the ads aired by the insurance industry, for undermining health reform. But the real saboteurs are named Herman and John. Herman Cain is the president of Godfather's Pizza and president-elect of the National Restaurant Association. An articulate black entrepreneur, Cain transformed the debate when he challenged Clinton at a town meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last April.

Maybe it's his conservative radio show.

Who knows.....but something touched a nerve and brought out the leftist knives.

Devega needs therapy and anger management.

The hate, racism, and hypocrisy of some on the hard left such as seen in his article is damming. Indeed, vile.

(will someone please post Cain's speech on YOUTUBE for me....thanks)

Please do not post entire works from outside sources. Supplying the link is not enough. Use a short description or assessment or introduction, then post a link. That's the best way.

If you wanna post a Youtube vid take the url and put

And at CPAC, this is what they did with a white supremacist. While quite long, there are memories here of my 'discussions' with Hog Trash. Funny thing, don't see these kind of arguments between liberals, they KNOW that anyone that disagrees with them deserves to be labeled and trashed:
