Herman Cain Plays the Race Card Against Barack Obama: It appears that Herman Cain, who is expected to be a black presidential candidate, has the race card locked and loaded for his sprint toward the White House.

Recently, Cain was asked about race during a New Hampshire campaign speech. When asked about this controversial topic, Cain had this to say:

“Now people are over this first black president thing,” he said. “But there are some people who will say, ‘I’m not going to vote for another black guy because this one didn’t work out. And my response is, ‘Well, what about those 43 white guys you put in there? How did they work out? Don’t condemn me because the first black one was bad.”

There was another interesting episode when Cain was asked on his radio show why he speaks so highly of the founding fathers, even though they owned slaves.

“They set the bar high when they said all men were created equal,” Cain said. “They could have set it where they were that day. They set it high so this nation could work up to that ideal.”

Herman Cain — A ‘Butt-Licking’ Uncle Tom

One thing that people can say about Herman Cain is that he was a successful businessman. As the CEO and part owner of Godfather’s Pizza, Cain has accumulated enough wealth and success to consider himself to be a serious candidate for the presidency. With that said, Cain also has a set of views that are reflective of the diversity of opinions within the African-American community, presenting an interesting contrast to those who want to put all black people into a nice, neat, little “liberal” box.

Let’s be clear, I don’t agree with Herman Cain. I have a difficult time appreciating any African American who panders for votes by effectively saying, “I stand with you in your disdain for the way black people behave. I assure you that I’m different from the rest of them.”

Such a divide-and-conquer political strategy has been used since we had the house negro/field negro divide during slavery (there is no faster route to the top of the political heap than by becoming a black Republican). Rather than using hatred toward President Obama as a weapon for his own political advancement, Cain might be more respectable if he simply stood on his own credentials (as his fellow conservative Colin Powell might do). Being a black conservative presidential candidate doesn’t mean you have to disrespect the first black president.

With that said, many of Cain’s views reflect a peculiar paradox within the black community: the fact that black people are actually incredibly conservative. When it comes to views on gay marriage, abortion, the separation of church and state, etc., African Americans have quite a few viewpoints that align more closely with the Republican right than with liberals who’ve come to “save us.” The problem for Republicans, however, is that they insist on advocating for programs that hurt the poor, which has a disproportionate impact on the African-American community. Their opposition to Affirmative Action and constant attacks on President Obama don’t help their cause very much either.

While the existence of men like Herman Cain represents a stomach-churning example of how the disease of racism continues to affect our society, the truth is that Cain also represents the very best of what America can possibly be. I won’t vote for Herman Cain, but I am glad that there are black politicians who allow African Americans to jump outside of predefined stereotypes given to us by the media and our political leaders. There’s no one way to be black, and both Herman Cain and President Obama reflect the diversity of the black experience in America.

Black History Month is Herman Cain Playing the Race Minstrel for CPAC — 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.

Herman Cain at CPAC

Minstrel Show

Herman Cain–an ironic name if ever, and one more suited to a tragic figure in a Harlem Renaissance era novella–is not “blackening twice” as some race minstrels chose to do.

[ Unfortunately, the attendees at CPAC are not the butt of some type of joke where the white man wearing the cork is really a black man in secret. ]

Instead, Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies. Like the fountain at Lourdes, Cain in his designated role as black Conservative mascot, absolves the White racial reactionaries at CPAC of their sins. This is a refined performance that Black Conservatives have perfected over many decades and centuries of practice.

Let’s consider the routine. First, Cain enters the stage to Motown music. Then Cain feigns swimming after rolling up his sleeves to show them his black skin and how he is a hardworking negro (not like those other ones). Cain bellows in a preacher affected voice and channels the folksy negro down home accent of his late grandpappy. In the money shot, Cain gives the obligatory “black folks who are not Republicans are on the plantation” speech to the joyous applause of his White benefactors. And he doubles down by legitimating any opposition to President Barack Obama as virtuous and patriotic regardless of the bigoted well-springs from which it may flow.

In total, CPAC is a carnival and a roadshow for reactionary Conservatives. It is only fitting that in the great tradition of the freak show, the human zoo, the boardwalk, and the great midway world’s fairs of the 19th and 20th centuries, that there is a Borneo man, a Venus Hottentot or a tribe of cannibals from deepest darkest Africa or Papua New Guinea on display. For CPAC and the White Conservative imagination, Herman Cain and his black and brown kin are that featured attraction.

We always need a monkey in the window, for he/she reminds us of our humanity while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of our own superiority.

Sadly, there are always folks who are willing to play that role because it pays so well.

Marco Rubio, the son of recent Cuban immigrants, is a selfish “Uncle-Tom” — eager to win the approval of the racist, anti-immigrant — white right.

In his 2010 campaign website, he lists himself as: “Highly regarded for his principled, energetic and idea-driven leadership.”

Nope! Mr. Rubio, you a treasonous malcontent, a “sissy-slave” [ Yes, Cubans Were Enslaved Too ] — selfishly and/or blindly embracing the violent, racist, backward …and yes, immigrant loathing tea-party movement. As a child of very recent immigrants, your words and actions are Pure Treason!

You are aiding and abetting the KU KLUX KLAN!

You are a typical Uncle-Tom …subservient and uncritical, in accepting the racist values and goals of the extremist Republican right — in the mode of chicken-and-biscuit eating black Uncle-Toms — like Justice Clarence Thomas, Rev. ‘Pork-Chop‘ Jesse Lee Peterson, Tea-Party activist, Daneen Borelli, and James T. Harris — who during the 2008 presidential campaign, surrounded by a McCain lynch-mob, took great umbrage in begging McCain to “HIT” Obama.

Deneen Borelli Photoshopped Her “Press Picture” To Look Whiter – More Presentable To Her White Master — And Less Scary!! Since slavery, whites have been trained to react negatively to dark skin, while blacks have been conditioned to reject their original color — and to regard pale, lighter skin as superior. In his masterpiece “On Negrophobia: Psychoneurotic Obstacles to Black Autonomy (or Why I just love Michael Jackson)” — Nigerian writer, professor Chinweizu states: Negro negrophobia makes black women bleach, till some proudly sport yellow monkey faces and ebony-black thighs. (or “Fanta Orange face and Coca-cola legs” as some call it). It makes black parents prefer their lighter skinned children to the darker skinned. It makes blacks who marry white or mulatto think they are marrying up and improving the race. It makes a pitch-black Sudanese proclaim himself Arab, on account of just one white Arab ancestor ten generations back; it makes him count as nothing, indeed as a blemish, all his 1,023 black ancestors in that generation, and all the millions before and since.

Borelli on Hannity: A “big message” in black community is “you are owed something… and don’t have to work hard“

Wrong! Blacks just want to work as hard as whites! Despite some “progress” over the years, racism and bigotry are still huge stumbling blocks staring at many in the black community.

Borelli Tea-Bagging in Washington on 9-12-2009

Why any black person would want to align himself/herself with these RACIST TERRORISTS, the NEW WHITE POWER MOVEMENT — beats me!!

Racist Fox News Mis-information THUG, Sean Hannity, is fond of parading “Uncle-Tom” blacks (people of color) on his show to disparage other blacks (people of color). Borelli is not the first, and unfortunately will not be the last person of color to be used and abused by whites who are bent on maintaining years of unfettered privilege — at all costs.

Here are other examples:

1.    ”White supremacy, sensing the need to repackage itself for consumption in polite company, partially fills the demand for racist bile by outsourcing to mercenary writers of color. Michelle Malkin and Dinesh D’Souza — of Filipino and Indian descent, respectively — are top guns of the genre, ever eager to slander non-whites, especially Blacks, as threats to Euro-American white ‘civilization.’” — Margaret Kimberly | [ READ MARGARET'S ARTICLE ] [ DINESH D'SOUZA TRIES TO EMBARRASS OBAMA ]

2.    In one of my first posts in this blog, in 2007 — I illustrated how Sean Hannity and Fox News routinely use blacks, like his despicable poodle “Reverend Pork-CHOP” Jesse Lee Peterson, to pour scorn on the black race and on candidate Obama. [ READ and WATCH ]

3.    Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas is a quintessential example of how white bigots in the Republican party use blacks to step on the throats of their fellow blacks. Read: Clarence Thomas — A ReTHUGliTOM Smothered In “Uppity Niggerdom” a.k.a “NegroPhobia Syndrome.”

The first time (not necessarily) …..the first time he was caught — to be precise, this royal neo-NAZI twit was shown wearing a Swastika emblazoned armband and decked in the fineries of Nazi regalia at a friend’s costume party.

Harry Caught with NAZI armband

Then the little twit then went to Lesotho to atone for his sins — in the language of the elite, Harry went to do “Charity work,” amongst “poor and diseased Africans!”

Yeah, …Africa — the eternal dumping ground!

In the most recent episode, Harry reportedly made some “racist” remarks three years ago against two of his colleagues, calling one of them a “Paki” and the other a “raghead.” “Paki” was in reference to a young Pakistani officer — and is a derogatory term for Indians and Pakistanis. Harry made the second remark, “raghead,” in Cyprus when he referred to another cadet, wearing a headscarf. It is also a racist term, with which Brits refer to Arabs.

Prince Harry uses the terms “Paki” and “Raghead”

| More Video |

Harry’s grandpa, Prince Philip has also attracted unwelcome headlines over the years.

At the inquest into the death of his former daughter-in-law Princess Diana, who died in a 1997 Paris car crash with her lover Dodi al-Fayed, Dodi’s father, luxury storeowner Mohammed al-Fayed, alleged that his son and Diana were killed by British security services on the orders of Prince Philip.

In an emotional outburst in court, al-Fayed called Prince Philip a “nazi” and a “racist.”

I am sure there is something Mohammed al-Fayed knows that we don’t.

Read on …

Prince Philip like his “grandson” is notorious for making racist remarks:.

He told British students in China: “If you stay here much longer, you’ll be slitty-eyed.”

While on a tour of a company near Edinburgh, Scotland, he saw a poorly wired fuse box. “It looks as though it was put in by an Indian,” he remarked.

During a small town visit in Scotland, in a brief conversation with a driving instructor, he asked, “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the (road) test?” The scots are known to drink heavily.

Also in Scotland, after the tragic 1993 crash of a Pan Am jumbo jet that also killed eleven townspeople in Lockerbie, the Prince said to a person who lived near the crash, “People usually say that after a fire it is water damage that is the worst. We are still trying to dry out Windsor Castle.”

In a 2002 visit to Australia, Prince Philip asked an Aborigine, “Still throwing spears?”

Also, he once told a group of deaf children standing near a Jamaican steel drum musician, “Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf.”

Now, days after the “P” word, Prince Charles, Harry’s father, has uttered the “S” word — when he referred to his “dark skinned” Asian friend as “Sooty.” It is important to note that dark skinned Indians are discriminated against in India, in some kind of legalized Racism.

The Indian Caste System is the driving force behind the rampant Uncle-Tomism of Indians like Dinesh D’souza — call it Indian Negrophobia, the intense desire to love everything white, including white trash.

The Indian Caste System

It looks like Charles, Harry’s father, harbors the same racist feelings — and that’s assuming that Prince Charles is Harry’s REAL FATHER.

It is rumored that Diana’s flame-haired ex-lover, James Hewitt, may be the late Princess’ real baby daddy, author Christopher Anderson claims in his book “After Diana.”

I guess, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the “father –> grandfather tree” — so to speak! Where there is smoke — there is fire!

Enough!

Prince Philip is a RACIST, and it seems Harry’s royal inheritance includes unrestrained racism.

“Birds of a feather flock together,” …I will bet you my last dollar, the queen herself is a racist bitch too!

These ROYAL RACISTS are living off huge sums of public funds, probably TAX FREE! …. A chivalric “medieval scam” of Bush/Haliburton proportions.

Justice Clarence Thomas, Reverend ‘Pork Chop’ Jesse Lee Peterson — Sean Hannity’s poodle, James T. Harris, Michael Jackson, and oriental blow-hard, Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly’s house-maid, are Negrophobia Sufferers too, ….and so is the SATANIC Reverend James David Manning.

Abolish this stupid Royalty nonsense, and for good measure, get rid of the BRITISH COMMONWEALTH, which is a “extortionist imperialist” tool Britain uses to monitor it’s former colonies — constituents of the former murderous British Empire.

TIM NAYLOR of Brooklyn, New York noted on May 26, 2004: Royalty, originally won through force and oppression, conferred by dubious claims of divine right and consolidated and continued through birth-right, is the ultimate role model for racism and caste systems. So long as royalty exists even in the most feeble form, the possibility exists that its members will one day return to absolute rule. The French had the right idea. It remains a national disgrace for any nation’s working people to have to support the lifestyles of the rich and royal for bit of pageantry.

Reminds me of RELIGION. Like ROYALTY it is a SCAM!

Now you understand why Dr. Mugabe is so bitter with these “royal” land grabbing goons. He’d rather starve his people to death than give in to these murderous colonial fraudsters ….again.
