What a retarded statement,Bush refused to attack Sudan? Bush refused to attacked Sudan government even though He knew the act of evil that was being perpetrated by the Sudanese government on the innocent southern "black race" in in Juba and the southern regions.Obama should be applauded for the justice done in Sudan last yr when he has fought and make sure the southern Blacks folks have their country,and now the southern Blacks Sudanese are free from the northern tyrant....

The Zionists have saved the "southern Black Sudanese"? There is great trouble, growing poverty and Zionists getting the land from these ignorant people at a very cheap price. It reminds me a few traitorous Libyans who brought chaos to Libya for these same devils.

we must vote independent. to vote for repubs or demos is absolutely delusional. if anyone believes in either of these parties to change the righteous direction of this country, then americans are deeply stupid, and by far the ratings show....americans are deeply stupid for the most part. its sad!

I agree that Obama has been weak as hell, he's going to lose re-election and we will have some jack-off like Rick Perry elected, and I hope we do so we can go ahead and flush this country down the toilet. Evidently we haven't suffered enough yet to know our own interests.

@AfriSynergy So you think Cain would really beat Obama? I really dont think Cain is going to get the nomination but to each his own. And if you believe that Cain would be for corporations no different than Obama then how does that solve anything by just bashing Obama? Why would you try to turn black youth vote against Obama without giving them an alternative? Would you vote for Cain over Obama if that did happen or write someone in?

@rashadkijani

I don't assume such things without looking at all of the factors. Right now, it's a race between Romney and Cain. None of the other candidates have a chance and no one else is likely to enter the race. Romney is not going to be the choice because people don't like Mormonism and that leaves Cain.

Both parties are for big corporations and wars in the interest of those corporations. GOP is more open with it and Dems aren't. Cain would beat Obama.

[rashadkijani]

@AfriSynergy Why is there an assumption Cain is going to win the nomination? There is still time for things to change before we know who the real republican candidate will be. Why do you think every other group does according to how blacks vote? And if Obama is the face of corporate America how is voting republican going to change that? Republicans arent hiding the fact they are definitely for the 1%. Every position they take shows they definitley are in defense of corporations.

Cain is intended for splitting the black vote and will do exactly that. Instead of Obama getting 92% of the black vote, if Cain was to win the GOP nomination (still a long shot), he would probably get 25 to 30% of black vote. This would also shakeup the voting of other ethnic groups. Obama is in trouble.

@AfriSynergy

So, Herman Cain cannot be use by the GOP because black's were never going to vote for him in the first place. So it's not logical to assume that Cain is a "puppet" like you suggest. Maybe he's just a good canidate. African American should make democrates Earn the vote, and part of that is to consider supporting other parties and stop drinking the democratic Only kool-aid.

@AfriSynergy

To be sure, African Americans as a voting block will not support any black republican candidates regardless of how attractive the candidate is. Moreover African American’s would not have voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 campaign if he were republican. The black vote would have been easily secured by Hillary Clinton. Obama is in trouble but black American’s are going to support the democratic party regardless of any abuse or miss-treatment.

@Antwon627

Part of the purpose of Herman Cain being in the GOP presidential race is to split the black vote. Many blacks will not vote for Obama this time by not voting and others will vote for Cain, and others will vote for Obama again. However, Obama will not get the huge number of black voters this time and those voters will also affect how other ethnic voters vote. Even with a very bad GOP group, Obama is in trouble.

[Antwon627]

African Americans typically vote 95% democratic. Where will the black vote go if they don't support this president? " No people can be truly free who themselves do not constitute an essential part of the ruling element of the country in which they live." Martin Delany 1852
