I wonder who speaks for the millions of poor white folk, and the disparities they suffer? So clear that the content of one's character still doesn't matter, if one's skin is a darker color. What a slap in the face these two patronizing men are!
@whiff1962 In case you did not notice, they are both black. If a white person chose to stand up for the poor white community, they could hardly point and place blame on a society that is majority white. Until we are all colorblind, we will not be able to stop bickering about what is obvious, we ARE a nation of different colors. That is an indisputable fact. If you want to slap them for pointing out these truths, then maybe you are judging them on color instead of the reality of the situation.
Your assertion is rickety. There is a disproportionate number of African Americans in "poverty", however, what these two well educated, wealthy black men are saying is that Mr. Cain has no right questioning victimhood politics. Welfare govt. is the principle reason why so many African Americans are not flourishing economically. These well-intentioned-mostly white-liberals who perpetuate "black poverty", as separate and distinct, are the ones who are perpetuating slavery. Think about it.
@whiff1962 Mr godfather's pizza & yourself have every right to call it victimhood politics or whatever other self serving label you want to make up. If anybody is a wealthy black man in this topic, it is Cain. What the journalist & the academic were saying is that mr. pizza was ignoring the statistical facts that show a disparity between the races. And btw, so are you.
I am not arguing the disparity! More African American males in prison than in college. I know the spiel. However, this does not address the causal factor(s), and most importantly, it fails to take heed of facts. When you say "a disparity between the races", you are talking in code, and I needn't elaborate on that. Are you reducing each and every black person to a statistic, for the sake of your argument, which I fail to grasp? Why not look into the Republican party? What is there to fear?
You are making wide, stereotypical statements. Color is not character. There is every opportunity to better one's station in the freeist nation in the history of the world! The greatest hindrence to a black youth, entering the job market, can be linked to govt. policy. Affirmative action, for instance, was well intentioned, but actually back fires, by deflating personal talent and merit, by way of quotas. And it is unconstitutional! The progressives need to understand that history moves on.
The democratic party is the party of slavery. The Republican party, e.g.traditional Goldwater Conservatism, is the true leveler. Welfarism or individual engagement with one's freedom and lilberty? How much of a state presence does the "disadvantaged" African American wish for? How much tax and spend will redress this racial divide? the one real thing holding back are those political ambitions of progressives, ever well-intentioned but doomed to fail. Not even so-called egalitarian socialism.
@whiff1962 slavery is over. perpetuating means to maintain or keep alive. Although you might not know slavery IS over in this country. If 90% of blacks think conservatives don't have their best interest at heart, maybe you should try to listen.
The Republican party is the party of Lincoln, whereas, historically, the democratic party was that of slavery. The roles switched, marked by Reconstruction and the election of Rutherford Hayes, in 1878, when the Republican party promised to remove troops from the South, in return for the south's endorsement of the party's nominee. Fact! Today, the Democratic party is the party of "progressives", i.e., the party of welfarism, entitlement and victims, high wage unions, and anti-free market.
@thersten Look up Thomas Sowell. He is also another Conservative "sell out". You would have liked Barry Goldwater. He was the last of the true Conservatives, before Bull Conner (actually a Dixie-crat) and the gang ruined it for the rest of us freedom loving Conservatives! I don't think MLK had the modern day statist Democrats in mind when he fought against segregation of public facilities. Are you familiar with the titles of the CRA? Do you
Slavery takes on many forms, and is not exclusively of one group. I very much see the two party system as an apparent reality, both parties being about big govt. As a Constitituonal Conservative, and ardent believer in the free-market (spare me the evils of greed and corporatism, which is nothing but state cronyism), I cannot but hold contempt for a party that steals from hard working Americans, to keep others enthralled and loyal! Everyone would benefit from Constitutionally limited govt.
The democratic party needs to keep the black man on the plantation. I am rather disgusted, although not surprised, that these two successful black men would champion the former. I think these guys need to "moveon.org" with this crying wolf. The "issue" of race in America is like no other western nation. a rather peculiar institution of victimhood politics is the raison d'
A sinister bend to this Dr. Cornell West, when all along, he means well. But what a self-righteous, ivory tower toad! His career hinges on promulgating and perpetuating the myth of racial oppression and subjugation. Does he have the right to speak for any individual African American? Who annoited him? Black or white, one should see right through this usual victimhood political rhetoric. Keep the black man on the plantation.
Govt bureaucracies need work. Its that simple. Fundamentally, Herman Cain is right when he challenges the notion that racism is not what holds back an African American from succeeding. Just the opposite might be true, that insisting to oneself, and being self-defeating, that one's skin color (forget this notion of culture and ethnicity!) is what holds one back. Either accept what it takes to succeed and make an effort to better yourself, or, continue to cry Oh, woe be me.
@HouseofVespucci should all the top black intellectuals work at hbcu's? think about your statement. If he went to Harvard bc of their long history of teaching the brightest minds, then he made a fair assessment I would say.
@HouseofVespucci uncle tom doesn't mean you work for white people, it means you sell out your race. Read uncle tom's cabin. Working at prestigious Harvard is not selling out his race. If anything it instills pride in his race.
You are not seeing the glaring contradiction in Dr. West, who has made it a career of crying wolf. I don't think his brand of tribal politics says anything about personal accountability and idividualism. He is very much a collectivist type, who dresses up his disdain for individualism with talk of oppression and subjugation. In fact, he must avail himself of stereotype in order for his radicalism to have any currency.
Hermain Cain is right. We (Black People) have been using racism as an excuse to not pursue our dreams. Hard Work, Faith, and Patience will help accomplish your goals. You can't blame the white man for all your faults in life. There still is racism but that does not hender your from reaching your goals in life.
@RayMagic12192 Okay. But the majority of blacks today want to live off of unemployment and welfare. Instead of going out and finding a job we sit on project benchs stand on corners and we dont progress by moving on to better things in life. We're unemployed because we dont want to employed we would rather live off of someone else.
@MrJamell21 yeah dude but there are more whites on welfare than blacks in america look it up, they for years made it look like blacks are the only ones your sitting on here saying blacks are lazy when there are blacks that are trying to get a job so to down your own people to please the white man is ridiculous there are lazy whites, hispanics, asians and others whites welfare stats show whites are majority on welfare in america dude racism still exists your brainwashed dude the numbers show it
@RayMagic12192 Listen the 'Honorable Elijah Muhammad' in 'Message to The Black Man' stated that black people in north america should do for self. Marcus Garvey stated in a speech that the black people could work and compete with the white man, yellow, and red people from around the world. Malcolm X also stated that "the future belongs to those who prepare for it today". If you have studied those great men you would know where i'm coming from BROTHER.
@MrJamell21 dude i agree with Malcolm x statement but Elijah Muhammad was hypocrite and a phony he preached that all white people are blue eyed devils which is not true don't even mention that phony Elijah Muhammad name he had Malcolm killed but yes blacks can do form themselves but some of them don't want to and some do but can't because the ones that don't want to prevents them who want to do for themselves but can't and then add the racism factor and the uncle tom factor and that is alot
@RayMagic12192 I feel what you saying. We as black people have to get into positions for ourselves thats going to give blacks a chance in society. But the blacks who are in positions seem to lean towards the powers that be and not give inspiring blacks a chance because they'retryig to safe they're own azz.
@RayMagic12192 my GOD your so sick!! the spirit of archie bunker lives again, by the way jackass MORE WHITE PEOPLE ARE ON WELFARE than black people raymagic12192 your typical republican lap dog
@RayMagic12192 of course he's a force working with the powers that be but what he said is right. Racism is an excuse to not pursue our dreams. Because when the powers that be see how hard we work and is dedicated in what we do as professionals the powers that be has no choice but to respect us.
No rich person--Black, White, Asian, etc...--will be allowed to ever visit the new world, because they are the reason for the problem here on earth. People have a tendency to become less caring when they acquire wealth; they continue to abuse and take advantage of the less fortunate; this is evident in the Black/White/Asia/Latino millionaires neglect of their poorer brothers and sisters. The law of the new planet will be communistic; anyone that seeks to outdo their neighbor will be ejected...
I wish that I had the power to move to another planet, and I could make it livable for humans. I'd appoint Tavis, West and Michael Eric Dyson as co-leaders of the new planet.
I'd moved all poor people, regardless of race or ethnicity, to that planet, and I'd create a force field around the new planet, so no one else from earth could ever reach the new world. The new laws would be that no one is allow to ignore his/her neighbor's pain. It would be heaven.
Racism is still around, but we need to start making better decisions in our lifestyles and what we do with our money. If a brother is out there with 5 baby mamas, that's not a good way to better yourself. Blowing much of your money on rims for your car, car stereo systems, and jewelry, instead of saving and investing the money is not the way to get ahead either. Yes, racism still exists, but brothers need to start educating themselves and making sound decisions in their life.
We need more brothers like Herman Cain. Herman Cain stands up what is right not just for America but for African Americans also. We don't need no house negroes like smiley and west who always makes excuses and uses race as an excuse and brings other hard working African Americans down. People like smiley,west,farrahkan, and other like minded house negroes are doing the KKK a favor by attacking honest and hard working African Americans.
@mrmjmolina molina, what are you doing on this topic? You are either a puto rican or a wetback. I mean molina is your name? you don't belong on this page. This hea for black folks. Stick to hispanic history
@howufigure8592 Castro, Guevara, Ahmadinejad, Assad, Gaddafi, Chavez, King, Gandhi, Jesus, Geronimo, and Zapata are all etched into the DNA of every being that ever lived on this earth. I said "being" which also means animals, so you're included. =)
@howufigure8592 racial slurs are the sign of not just adolescents but as well hatred. hatred has been proven to cause cancer in humans. so i feel it my obligation to tell you to be careful.
@mrmjmolina OK. So finally get off of this page because hispanics have no place in our history. Like I said before stick to your own history. I mean hispanics were not called niggers or had to go through aparthied or mistreated in any situation like us African Americans.
For people who are supposedly trying to help the plight of black people, they do nothing but give us an excuse to wallow in our mediocrity. Why would I follow someone who constantly tells me that there is a glass ceiling that I cannot break through. They give me sob stories of how the "man" is bringing us down, when that does nothing but bring negativity to the black community. I respect black people like herman cain, who said fuck racism and made himself successful.
Why do people say that herman cain is an uncle tom? Why, because he doesn't use the safety net of racism of why black people are in the state we are in? ATTENTION ALL BLACK PEOPLE WE ARE FREE NOW. Quit using the excuse of the "man" is holding me back. Is there racism in America still today? Yes. There will always be racism in America, but that can't stop you from building yourself up.

@MCSnicks That's the purest BULLSHELL I've ever heard. It is prove that employers will hire a white person with a prison record will be hired faster than a black man who hasn't have an prison record.. Herman Cain is a bullshit artist and trying to play the race card.
@Renagade70 no he's not. The race dialogue is not helped by ppl like West. And btw...you should vote for Ron Paul. He talks about this injustice ALL THE TIME! He's the only one who will address it!
These guys are right. Something must be done to help blacks. We should have college funds ONLY for blacks. Black people should get the job over whites even if they are less qualified.
Oh wait that shit already exists.. hmm what else can we do. I mean it's so fucked up that a black guy can't even be President in this country!! Oh wait..
Haha fuck the bullshit Cain is right and he's living proof that he's right. There's no excuses anymore... you get back what you put in.
Herman Cain is a real black man that didn't let his race hold him back from being successful. Herman Cain is absolutely right. You guys just hate him because he's a republican and he tells the truth. I live in New Orleans and Herman Cain is absolutely right. Down here a lot of blacks pull the race card down here all the time and will use it to their advantage to blame their failures and problems.
@Sirafrican -Nobody cares about Herman Cain being republican black people are against Cain because he hates his own black race Herman Cain defends and worships White Supremacists like Neil Boortz this man called hurricane Katrina victims immoral scum
You Tea Bagger Rednecks only like Cain because he hates his own black race
@SuperBlackWoman1 When will retarded helpless coons like you die out?Get the fuck of the plantation dumb fuck! Either take your katrina roof top, waiting to be rescued,"hep me hep me" ass to Africa or go kill yourself.You are an embarrassment to black folks.Have a nice day. A message from the NGTGC(niggers got to go committee)
@SuperBlackWoman1 Still babbling nonsense about Cain "hating" his own race I see. He's long since suspended his campain AND you haven't moved one inch. You are pitiful.
You drank the Kool-aid on that one. The same, tawdry argument, of hating one's race. Mr. Cain says that racism is no excuse for self-defeatism. Whereby did this collective victimhood for an a diverse population arise? Who says that being a darker shade means being part of a homogenous population, and that what applies for one African American must apply to another, for the sake of political expediency? Do these two well-educated black men claim affirmative action and welfarism as uplifting?
Tell me, do you have a decent job? How have you bettered yourself, as a human being and a citizen of a civilized, free western nation? You have every opportunity to better yourself, regardless of your color. The worst thing-for any race-is intergenerational welfarism and the crushing of one's spirit this brings. In a free and open society, you must assume the consequences of your personal actions. To blame your shortcomings on being black IS the racist thing to think! Herman Cain is right.
To understand brother West and Smiley, you have to understand history beyond the high school textbook. At the end of the Civil War, blacks were completely free. There were black senators and governors! But then white people couldn't handle that, so they brought Jim Crow in. Blacks didnt get their rights back until 1964. Racism towards them didn't just end at that. Blacks are still fighting for their rights to this day. Open your eyes. And read a fuckin book.
i'm sorry but i can't believe i used to fall for this CRAP!! i was interested in politics and economics thanks to the left but what they're saying here is just grossly exaggerated. I mean we have equality in america, the only problem is the economy and joblessness rate currently. Instead of talking about these issues thoroughly cornel and smiley be talking this nonsense of racism and racial injustice in america. get the fuck outta here!
BTW, here is a question if you take a group of human beings (race and color don't matter) and place them in an oppressive destructive environment that includes destruction of the groups culture language identity combined with slavery, segregation, economic disenfranchisement re-inforced by laws and laws that are protected by guns and implement that formula for lets say 400 to 500 years encompassing 20 - 25 generations how long should it take for that group to reclaim, recover, and renew?
Yawn Yawn Yawn the same old thing divide and conquer divide and conquer last time I checked, senators both dem or rep come from the realms of the well to do. Not attaking the rich just say this looks like that same old us versus them and all the while there are a few pwerful people (puppetmasters) sitting back snickering at just how stupid the common man is that he can't read between the lines.
Racist asshole. You hate Cain because he's intelligent enough to escape the Leftist plantation and think for himself. I'm sorry that you will forever be a slave to the Left. That ideology is the only real black slave owner left in today's world.
What I find interesting is that Herman Cain was attacked for saying blacks who vote for Democrats are brainwashed, yet the Liberal Janeane Garofalo says that black Republicans and Tea Party supporters, including Cain, are suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome". That's the same as saying blacks are brainwashed! How was that not offensive? So this white Liberal gets away with what she said, but Herman Cain get's torn to shreds? Come on you all open your eyes.
You people are prime candidates for the control model because the lot of you are mindless children. You make it easy for your real enemies WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!
I have a question for all you libs who call black conservative Uncle toms how come they are not black enough for you it seems you love it when you call me racist for going against Obama but when you have someone like Hermain Cain you call them names like Uncle Tom,Sambo,Step and fetch a lot of racist words oh wait liberals can't be racist right.
@jp3711nc1 I think you read my post wrong. What I said was allot of black people think if you dont think like the two boobs on this video then your an uncle tom. Independent thinking black Americans are often called names like that.
@mydarkside13 -Herman Cain is NOT a independent he's a puppet for the Koch Brothers and White Power Rednecks who love using uncle toms sellouts like Cain who hates his own black race
@levar1979 -Herman Cain defends and worships white supremacists like Neil Boortz this man called hurricane Katrina victims immoral scum.Stop trying defend this self hating token sellout Herman Cain he hates his own black race
@SuperBlackWoman1 They were immoral scum. Are you fucking blind? They were looting and firing guns at rescue helicopters. Stop pulling the race card. You people are keeping YOURSELVES down with this mentality.
@SuperBlackWoman1 Speak for Katrina victims fool.Don't try to speak for black folks.You're the one self-hating.It's loud-mouth, dumb asses like yourself that Black folks in America have such a ROTTEN reputation around the world.We are known WORLD WIDE as the pitiful people.Niggas always need a helping hand and understanding.If it were up to you, Black folks would be a protected species like rare birds and striped frogs.We already have child-like status. Will coons please die!
If it will be easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. How much harder will it be for the richest nation in the world, the most powerful, people who think that everyone is jealous of them. To see their wrong,and how about his slave who does not realize that he thinks just like his teacher. Pray! ask for his Mercy!
Poverty and racism are EXTREMELY linked. Racism divided black people economically, because the slave economy was a economic stratesfication.... Herman is playing to his base. It's the truth.
what is it with you people who call every black man that doesnt need a welfare check an uncle tom? maybe if there was more herman cains you wouldnt be the most hated race on this planet
@SocialAssasin wow! I thought that was white people? :-) The fuckin stealers and usurpers of humanity and anything uh..not white. Let us not forget..oh wait u are fuckin programmed mutes so u probably don't know actual history now do u. The so-called lazy ass africans/americans had traversed the entire planet and developed agricultural, and scientific methodologies before fuckin europe was even on the map..hold up wait, don't even white scientists even concede now that WE! (cont.)
@dunk602 gave birth to all races? Dude I am far too advanced to argue with people who are apparent morons who are into childish race games I just want to set the record straight for idiots like u. And I have scientific facts to prove what I say..not stupid rhetoric that fools like u spread. It is people that look like u my friend (presuming ur so-called white) who developed nuclear armaments to destroy life now is that a respect for living things sir? Is that ur brand of intelligence?
Smiley and West are confusing correlation with causation. Asian Americans are a minority that is discriminated against, and were purposely worked to death on railroads in America's early history and weren't even considered human in early western courts. Yet today, they are kicking the asses of the whites in both the academics and the professions. The social dependency programs of the democrats are destroying Black America, via subsidizing poverty and broken homes.
These two fuck ups do not speak for me.Either have West and Smiley speak for some other race i.e Australian Aborigine,Swedes,Koreans or I'm changing my race.
to call fox a news station is an insult to real journalism. fox isnt even a news station its a proganda machine that promotes conservative views. so the owner rupert murdoch can stay in power and promote a view point of people like him paying little or no taxes, cut social programs funding by the government, and taxing the poor which are the group that needs their money the most.
Since We ALL gets benifets from this Country, then Everyone should pay Taxes and At the same Rate.
The Rich pay a total of 40% of the Taxes and the Poor pay Nothing. But the Poor want the Rich to pay more in Taxes so they can get more in government handouts.
@53dumey You have a very skewed idea of how taxes work and what poor people want. What you need to understand is that Middle Class America pays 60% of the taxes in this country. Our income is taxed at 16% while billionaires are taxed at 23%. That is a 7% difference. Do you have any idea the difference in money? I pay 7% less than Bill Gates and he makes 700% more than I do. It's called paying your share. Eisenhower taxed the rich at 90% and he was a republican.
@53dumey Furthermore, how can you justify giving TAX BREAKS to the wealthiest people in the world. The Bush tax cuts put us so far in debt its ridiculous. Not to mention we just borrowed how much money from china to extend those tax cuts again? So I ask you, how is that fair?
@AlfonsoTheGod sorry buddy, putting your fingers in your ears screaming "NYANYANYAN I WON," doesn't constitute a victory. Not in my books, try again without proving my point in the process. ---Lol.
@AlfonsoTheGod what kind of an idiot gets his entire information about an entire race of people from a damn music video and a nat geo special? The media is a poison on society, and you are evidence of this.
@AlfonsoTheGod Cherry Picking the facts like a damn idiot. No, I'm not going to get mad, I'm not going to hulk smash, I'm just going to let you run off into your little fantasy land letting you BELIEVE whatever you want to BELIEVE.
@AlfonsoTheGod FORMER GRAND WIZARD DAVID DUKE? Yeah. No thanks chief, you may as well be citing.....well the former grand wizard of the KKK. TRULY pathetic. Look up Tim Wise to wash away your foolish ways.
@AlfonsoTheGod Go ahead, see if you can find a doctor that would support the idea that there are any biological differences between races. I'll be waiting right here.
@AlfonsoTheGod Yeah, because our foreign policy and a long legacy of European imperialism had nothing to do with Africa's problem. Get your fucking head out of your ass for one second and consider the idiocies your about to utter.
@AlfonsoTheGod What facts? That you're complaining? Believe me, that success didn't come from some innate human ability. Whites did so at the expense of every other race on the face of this planet (visa vis, our foreign policy treating hispanics/blacks/asians like slaves) If you can find the biological link between race and outcome, you're probably on the wrong planet. And if you try to justify it any longer, you are unfit to be human.
CNN and the rest of the media ARE at fault for showing an idiot like Herman Cain and then two intelligent people, and framing it as a debate. They do it all the time with anything said by Sarah Palin, tea baggers, Michelle Bachmann, ''death panel''-believers, the birthers, etc. They take complete lies and then actual facts and present a forum as if both sides were equal. Clearly, CLEARLY, they are not.
The policies that have been in place for the last 30 years are what caused this problem, so why in the hell should we continue the same policies to try to recover?!?! Look up the definition of insane.
You what people wanna hear that it's us and not them when they know sometimes it's them that do hold us back they do it with the jobs a lot of wealthy job creators in American have a chance to hire people and they don't and the republican candidates think well if you give those guys all of the money from the middle class that's gonna solve our problem it's I don't like it and they won't get my vote in 2012!
....aww he's just wearing the Halloween "blackman" costume...if you look close you could see the zipper ....that guy is really a caveman but who's gonna vote for a caveman doe?
Its funny how blacks angrily scream and yell in order to remain slaves for their white masters; the Democrats. Democrats have kept them poor and angry and since president Johnson. Its like Plato's allegory of the cave which represents freedom and slavery. When a few (like Clarence Thomas, Jessie lee Peters and Herman Cain) break from their chains and escape the cave and see the light and try to come back to free those still in bondage they are attacked by those they are trying to help.
yo @donnie1968 it's like you've never heard of post Civil War disenfranchisement, sharecropping, the convict lease system and (oh!) the fact that 100 yrs had to roll around for an entire population to get the right to vote with the Civil Rights Act. Get a grip of reality yourself. Today there are more black men in prison than were enslaved in 1850. That is simply barbaric and retrograde. Racism in the criminal justice system is a fact and equal opportunity has been delayed too long.
Man Tavis, you forgot about the disparity based on shoes size. And the disparity based on what decade people were born in. The evidence is overwhelming that people with larger shoe sizes earn more money over a lifetime!!!! Why is he not pimping the shoe size issue? Oh I remember why, because a disparity does not point to discrimination TAVIS!!!!! A disparity is not always evidence of a conspiracy Mr. Smiley.
LOL...these 2 black dickheads can't see that we whites are tired of our tax money to support these black "hooche mamas" having kids & kids without the sinking lazy black men being fathers to them. Any whites that say that are racist & any black man is an Uncle tom. BLACKS FEED YOURSELF, the white guilt is gone.
Even when unemployment gets back to so called normal levels, blacks will still have the highest unemployment rate of any group. If is is 5% unemployment nationwide, black unemployment will be 10%.
walk the streets herman, you gonna get fuked up by my brothers and muslims gonna finish up Dutch style and stick a knife in it.
you lie, nigga. you couldn't participate in civil rights marches, etc... you fuken liar. you absolutely could have. but you lie in your shitty book. that only whiteman reads.
your ancestors were muslim you fuken traitor, you love the whiteman lick his hand and they just using you.
smiling mofo. you deserve to get humiliated. how dare you call my brothers brainwashed
Now you see the unawareness of some Black Americans, sorry to say. This kid "youngTaharka", (And I mean YOUNG), are the end result of people like West and Smiley and the enslaved mindset their rhetoric created.
why is being poor a reason to become criminal? you have the welfare as help to get food and pay your house rent.. there are even homeless people that arent criminal . they collect CANS and try to do a positive change. dont blame other people because ur life is screwed up
cool story, bro. It's ironic how these black men defended Obama on his radical views, his links with Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright, his links with ACORN, with corrupt politicians in Chicago, with the whole birth certificate thing. Yet when a conservative black Republican Herman Cain comes along, they bash him as if he's the anti-Christ. Cornel West needs to lay off the fucking crack pipe. Fucking reefer head.
@michinom Intresting point of view. I've always believed Democrats hate dumb people -- Ex. Bush, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain. It's only the Rupublicans, the now far-right and conservative party, that defend morons as long as they're Republican-morons.
Herman Cain fails to realize that though there is not a lot of outright racism like the days of old, Blacks are intentionally kept in the lowest group of society so that they can't make it. Few blacks make it through because of the way this country is. It does not matter if There are black CEO's or managers if blacks are locked in the cycle of poverty as much as they are. They white establishment is not threatened by a few blacks making it through as long as they make many more fall through.
.Shitty schools ruining millions of lives..all run by Teachers Unions that reject all educational reform-and who do they give their money to?The democrats--who help them..Biggest Racism in America today
@mrbriscoe2001 do you mean oppression? because that is not the definition of racism all races go to public schools unless they can afford private schools. its republicans and democrats turning their cheeks to all the drugs that go into the communities with lower education ratings that lowers the potential in our citizens
@mrbriscoe2001 i know inner city and minority areas...and a majority of the problems are related to drugs because 99% of black fathers that dont take care of their kids is because of drugs.
95% of Blacks he said Brainwashed?? Lets take this on a dry run... seems like he speaks for the whites but lets take a look..... most laws target blacks and most police target blacks? 95% vote for civil rights and fair equal pay for women and race? I dont think he will get 2% of the black vote...So 98% must be brainwashed...im sure the house nigger said the slaves were brainwashed and slavery is great.. with out master we would be in Africa with no food? Ask why Africa never evolved
I'd say President Cain may strongly dislike and have little patience for willfully IGNORANT Black People...IGNORANT Whites too...Asians, Hispanics...he doesn't seem to discriminate either way. Yep, IGNORANCE determines President Cains sentiment toward people of any color. Hey Sharpton...where's your old Pimp Suit and greasy, womanly hair-doo, you senile, leaching, old bitch!!! HA HA ...JOKE OF A DON KING WANNABE CORNEL AND STINKY LIBERAL FREAKSHOW PIMP GO HOME ... HA HA!!!

I wonder who speaks for the millions of poor white folk, and the disparities they suffer? So clear that the content of one's character still doesn't matter, if one's skin is a darker color. What a slap in the face these two patronizing men are!
whiff1962 5 days ago
@whiff1962 In case you did not notice, they are both black. If a white person chose to stand up for the poor white community, they could hardly point and place blame on a society that is majority white. Until we are all colorblind, we will not be able to stop bickering about what is obvious, we ARE a nation of different colors. That is an indisputable fact. If you want to slap them for pointing out these truths, then maybe you are judging them on color instead of the reality of the situation.

Your assertion is rickety. There is a disproportionate number of African Americans in "poverty", however, what these two well educated, wealthy black men are saying is that Mr. Cain has no right questioning victimhood politics. Welfare govt. is the principle reason why so many African Americans are not flourishing economically. These well-intentioned-mostly white-liberals who perpetuate "black poverty", as separate and distinct, are the ones who are perpetuating slavery. Think about it.

@whiff1962 Mr godfather's pizza & yourself have every right to call it victimhood politics or whatever other self serving label you want to make up. If anybody is a wealthy black man in this topic, it is Cain. What the journalist & the academic were saying is that mr. pizza was ignoring the statistical facts that show a disparity between the races. And btw, so are you.

I am not arguing the disparity! More African American males in prison than in college. I know the spiel. However, this does not address the causal factor(s), and most importantly, it fails to take heed of facts. When you say "a disparity between the races", you are talking in code, and I needn't elaborate on that. Are you reducing each and every black person to a statistic, for the sake of your argument, which I fail to grasp? Why not look into the Republican party? What is there to fear?

You are making wide, stereotypical statements. Color is not character. There is every opportunity to better one's station in the freeist nation in the history of the world! The greatest hindrence to a black youth, entering the job market, can be linked to govt. policy. Affirmative action, for instance, was well intentioned, but actually back fires, by deflating personal talent and merit, by way of quotas. And it is unconstitutional! The progressives need to understand that history moves on.

The democratic party is the party of slavery. The Republican party, e.g.traditional Goldwater Conservatism, is the true leveler. Welfarism or individual engagement with one's freedom and lilberty? How much of a state presence does the "disadvantaged" African American wish for? How much tax and spend will redress this racial divide? the one real thing holding back are those political ambitions of progressives, ever well-intentioned but doomed to fail. Not even so-called egalitarian socialism.

@whiff1962 slavery is over. perpetuating means to maintain or keep alive. Although you might not know slavery IS over in this country. If 90% of blacks think conservatives don't have their best interest at heart, maybe you should try to listen.

The Republican party is the party of Lincoln, whereas, historically, the democratic party was that of slavery. The roles switched, marked by Reconstruction and the election of Rutherford Hayes, in 1878, when the Republican party promised to remove troops from the South, in return for the south's endorsement of the party's nominee. Fact! Today, the Democratic party is the party of "progressives", i.e., the party of welfarism, entitlement and victims, high wage unions, and anti-free market.

@thersten Look up Thomas Sowell. He is also another Conservative "sell out". You would have liked Barry Goldwater. He was the last of the true Conservatives, before Bull Conner (actually a Dixie-crat) and the gang ruined it for the rest of us freedom loving Conservatives! I don't think MLK had the modern day statist Democrats in mind when he fought against segregation of public facilities. Are you familiar with the titles of the CRA? Do you

Slavery takes on many forms, and is not exclusively of one group. I very much see the two party system as an apparent reality, both parties being about big govt. As a Constitituonal Conservative, and ardent believer in the free-market (spare me the evils of greed and corporatism, which is nothing but state cronyism), I cannot but hold contempt for a party that steals from hard working Americans, to keep others enthralled and loyal! Everyone would benefit from Constitutionally limited govt.

The democratic party needs to keep the black man on the plantation. I am rather disgusted, although not surprised, that these two successful black men would champion the former. I think these guys need to "moveon.org" with this crying wolf. The "issue" of race in America is like no other western nation. a rather peculiar institution of victimhood politics is the raison d'

Govt bureaucracies need work. Its that simple. Fundamentally, Herman Cain is right when he challenges the notion that racism is not what holds back an African American from succeeding. Just the opposite might be true, that insisting to oneself, and being self-defeating, that one's skin color (forget this notion of culture and ethnicity!) is what holds one back. Either accept what it takes to succeed and make an effort to better yourself, or, continue to cry Oh, woe be me.

You are not seeing the glaring contradiction in Dr. West, who has made it a career of crying wolf. I don't think his brand of tribal politics says anything about personal accountability and idividualism. He is very much a collectivist type, who dresses up his disdain for individualism with talk of oppression and subjugation. In fact, he must avail himself of stereotype in order for his radicalism to have any currency.

Racism is still around, but we need to start making better decisions in our lifestyles and what we do with our money. If a brother is out there with 5 baby mamas, that's not a good way to better yourself. Blowing much of your money on rims for your car, car stereo systems, and jewelry, instead of saving and investing the money is not the way to get ahead either. Yes, racism still exists, but brothers need to start educating themselves and making sound decisions in their life.

@AlfonsoTheGod What facts? That you're complaining? Believe me, that success didn't come from some innate human ability. Whites did so at the expense of every other race on the face of this planet (visa vis, our foreign policy treating hispanics/blacks/asians like slaves) If you can find the biological link between race and outcome, you're probably on the wrong planet. And if you try to justify it any longer, you are unfit to be human.

CNN and the rest of the media ARE at fault for showing an idiot like Herman Cain and then two intelligent people, and framing it as a debate. They do it all the time with anything said by Sarah Palin, tea baggers, Michelle Bachmann, ''death panel''-believers, the birthers, etc. They take complete lies and then actual facts and present a forum as if both sides were equal. Clearly, CLEARLY, they are not.

Its funny how blacks angrily scream and yell in order to remain slaves for their white masters; the Democrats. Democrats have kept them poor and angry and since president Johnson. Its like Plato's allegory of the cave which represents freedom and slavery. When a few (like Clarence Thomas, Jessie lee Peters and Herman Cain) break from their chains and escape the cave and see the light and try to come back to free those still in bondage they are attacked by those they are trying to help.

yo @donnie1968 it's like you've never heard of post Civil War disenfranchisement, sharecropping, the convict lease system and (oh!) the fact that 100 yrs had to roll around for an entire population to get the right to vote with the Civil Rights Act. Get a grip of reality yourself. Today there are more black men in prison than were enslaved in 1850. That is simply barbaric and retrograde. Racism in the criminal justice system is a fact and equal opportunity has been delayed too long.

Even when unemployment gets back to so called normal levels, blacks will still have the highest unemployment rate of any group. If is is 5% unemployment nationwide, black unemployment will be 10%.

cool story, bro. It's ironic how these black men defended Obama on his radical views, his links with Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright, his links with ACORN, with corrupt politicians in Chicago, with the whole birth certificate thing. Yet when a conservative black Republican Herman Cain comes along, they bash him as if he's the anti-Christ. Cornel West needs to lay off the fucking crack pipe. Fucking reefer head.

Cain overcame poverty and the odds in the racist south and is now running for president.
These demoncratic plantation welfare state activists simply are hating on him because he is a Republican.
They hate him for being black and in a competing party.. it's just sad and they should be ashamed.

@michinom Intresting point of view. I've always believed Democrats hate dumb people -- Ex. Bush, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain. It's only the Rupublicans, the now far-right and conservative party, that defend morons as long as they're Republican-morons.

Herman Cain fails to realize that though there is not a lot of outright racism like the days of old, Blacks are intentionally kept in the lowest group of society so that they can't make it. Few blacks make it through because of the way this country is. It does not matter if There are black CEO's or managers if blacks are locked in the cycle of poverty as much as they are. They white establishment is not threatened by a few blacks making it through as long as they make many more fall through.

I dont think he will get 2% of the black vote...So 98% must be brainwashed...im sure the house nigger said the slaves were brainwashed and slavery is great.. with out master we would be in Africa with no food?
