On his program this morning, Dennis Prager discussed this appearance by Herman Cain on Sean Hannity’s TV show.
Prager pointed out that the Democrats have consistently been able to depend upon about 95% of the Black American vote. How have they been able to do this? [Mostly] White Democrats have been able to successfully convince generation after generation of Black Americans that they are permanent victims of a systemically racist America (aka Republicans) and need the Democrats to protect them. This is, of course, a lie but has been a proven strategy. If the Democrats were ever to lose this overwhelming support of Black America, and not replace it with another voting bloc, they would never again be able to win another election. So it’s absolutely critical to the survival of the current Democrat Party to say whatever is necessary to keep Black Americans brainwashed in this manner.
Is it not interesting to the curious mind how incredibly successful and prosperous the following ethnic groups have been in the United States: Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Indians. Through hard work, saving, and education these groups have capitalized on all that the capitalist system in America has offered them.
Contrast this with the striking lack of prosperity of the majority of Black Americans. How is it that “widespread, institutionalized racism” hasn’t hurt all of the earlier groups mentioned but only affects one? Might it be that the real explanation is far different from what Democrat politicians and their echo-chamber sycophants have been proffering?
Democrat infested Detroit provides a stellar example of what’s really wrong in America.
In the weeks & months ahead, when you see Herman Cain disparaged by the Left, including mainstream media “journalists” in the pocket of the Obama administration, you will better understand why Cain is such an incredible threat to them. It’s not just about losing in November 2012, it’s about losing it all. Permanently.
Before the 1960’s Democrats treated blacks worse than everyone else. After the 1960’s they treated them better than everyone else.
Trying to treat blacks JUST LIKE everyone else has engendered contempt from the Democrats pretty much throughout history.
I once had my friend’s husband (he’s black) tell me that he was unemployed because of slavery in Canada. I mentioned that Canada has never had slavery and he called me a liar and a racist and then proceeded to have a complete meltdown in front of us. He got even angrier when we started laughing at him. Sad when a guy like him blames his lack of motivation to get a job on an event that never happened. Even sadder is he was too lazy to check his references to make sure Canada actually had slavery and figured other people would never call him on his lie for fear of being called a bigot.
These are subjects which Thomas Sowell has dealt with for some time, most notably in his book, “The Economics and Politics of Race”. Another book that deals well with this issue is, “Liberal Racism”.
As a control group, compare to Idi Amin’s Uganda. He ethnically cleansed the hugely successful Asians (Ismaili Muslims) to ‘protect’ his black ethnic constituents. See how well that turned out? The Ismailis took their work ethic with them.
(Can this in part be why other muslim sects hate them?)
The potential parallel is Nixon and the Dixiecrat south. Nixon – leader of the party of Lincoln – made overt gestures towards the deep south – arguing that the GOPs values were their values and their way to prosperity and racial harmony. He was right on both counts and that region is now solidly GOP territory save the large cities (eg miami and Atlanta).
The GOP needs to attempt the same thing with both blacks and Hispanics/Latinos. Cain has the potential to achieve a breakthrough with the former. Rubio someday may be the vector for the latter one day. One thing is for sure, if – and I think it’s more likely when – the black and or Hispanic/Latino communities discover that the GOP is the best party to represent their interests/needs the GOP will be the dominant party for a generation or more.

“After the 1960’s they treated them better than everyone else”
That’s a matter of opinion. If you value the calculated costs of welfare dependency, Affirmative Action alienation, Black abortion rates etcetera, the Liberal Dems have not done any favours for the “Black Community” at all.
In fact they are doing the business that their K.K.K forbearers could only dream about.

The Democrats where the party of slavery. What has changed?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Canada
technically pre 1867 but it was here.
It is remarkable, indeed. The “Southern Democrats” were Ku Klux Klanners almost to a man or woman.
Schools in the South were integrated at gunpoint, guns duly provided by Dwight Eisenhower, the Republican president.
It is not even true that black Americans are not successful. In music, in sports, black musicians and black athletes have had a decisive impact.
When blacks do break away from stereotypes, they can be very successful in every field.
Notable examples would include Thomas Sowell
(if you haven’t yet read his introductory book on economics, read it now!), Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell.
I omit Bambi from the list of successful blacks.
Knight 99:
I realized when I wrote my comment that “better than everyone else” was not quite the truth of it. Treating adults like children is not treating them better.
Unfortunately it didn’t scan as well.
“I mentioned that Canada has never had slavery”
Robert L . . . there is a long, long history of slavery in Canada. virtually all the aborignal people across the land used slavery as an integral part of their economies.
For many centuries, aboriginals used slaves, hunted for them, abused them, bought them, sold them, murdered them – often in elaborate public ceremonies.
You won’t ever hear about on CBC or in the MSM because it would destroy the current aboriginal victim industry and all the financial payouts but it is true.
Fred – but it wasn’t Canada then. Whites practiced slavery here too until it was abolished in the British Empire. Again, not Canada yet.
“In 1877, a national compromise to gain Southern support in the presidential election resulted in the last of the federal troops being withdrawn from the South. White Democrats had regained political power in every Southern state. These conservative, white, Democratic Redeemer governments legislated Jim Crow laws, segregating black people from the white population.”
From Wikipedia.
Now the same Party is telling Black folks they need protection from the racists. What convenient memories the Democrats have.
Black Americans need Herman Cain in the White House a hell of a lot more than they realize,but maybe they don’t want a self-made Black guy who doesn’t play the victim.
Another really good book to check out: “The End of Blackness” by Debra J. Dickerson, Pantheon Books, 2004.
“It’s not just about losing in November 2012, it’s about losing it all. Permanently.”
One can only hope.
Excellent post Robert.
Conservatives should seriously consider supporting Cain. He has taken a hell of a lot of unfair shots already, and one man can only do so much on his own.
Seeing a large segment of the Republican establishment swoon over Romney while ignoring the disgusting assaults on Cain does not give me much hope for the future.
Chris Christie endorsing Romney is right on cue.
Democrats talk to blacks as though they were dependent children. Where is the indignation? Where is the resentment? Where is their sense of personal identity?
Cain could change it all. Here’s hoping he is able to buck the GOP establishment, which produces mostly statists RINOs.
Sorry if I mix metaphors here but….
The problem is that someone from a victim group goes off the reservation and becomes successful, they become ostracized by the group. Consequently they are no longer recognised as part of the victim group. This would cause the group to look at themselves and see their own failings. It is much easier to blame some external cause of their own misfortune.
Therefore Herman Cain is no longer black. (Similarly C Rice, Thomas Sowell, Bill Cosby, et al are not real blacks) It is the racism of low expectations.
This works with all sorts of victims groups…. feminists, leftists (against “the man”), aboriginals. This is the true outcome of multicultrualism, to make definitive groups so they can be victims. Rather than let them blend in with the whole.
You don’t hear much about victimization of Ukrainians now do you.
Call me crazy but there is something big happening here , and i turley beleive there is a marxist attempt at taking over america ,of breaking america , of bringing her to her knee’s , but this is not just happening from outside this is happening from with in and obama,soros and a whole slew of people are doing this.
I beleive this is a co-ordinated well planned attempt . Can anyone in here imagine what this world will be like if america is no longer the super power?
I think that these protest’s , are just them looking for a starting point , how can they be so stupid they are yammering on about wall street , but pelosi just awarded her brother’s company 700million dollar contract and ironically he is now on the board of directors this is blatant and open and opbvious why is this not a national travest or at least being investigated .
Some one is moving the levers and know one knows who no one can pin point , and that right now is very dangerous becasue when the smoke clears who we think was the culprit may have just been a useful idiot . i have no i dea whne this plan started but i say before this decade is out they will make there move .
I don’t think anyone has a chance in hell of beating obama , simple becasue if the media cannot ruin ya , they will cheat at the ballot box i can feel it i can taste it they want this guy in power they want him (who ever they are) right there in the office he is a perfect distraction , i am worried because if he is in office no one will be safe the good will be labeled as bad so on and so forth , they will keep voting for more and more and more on purpose to break america completley ,i think it is so someone can invade , i think they realize america must be so disfunctional and distracted that they cannot or will not do anything .
I think they have a clown in the military runnning the show , and i think he will fold over on demand , helpng the enemy along .
It is soo plain in sight , and the americans who re for it will be on the recieving end of all of the wrath when the rest of americans finallly do fight back there will be a civil war all over again , that is if it worth fighting for or they have the ability to fight .
I wonder how many chinease they could dump a shore every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year?
Any way i know i acting wierd but i think something very bad is going on and not just your little hippie revolt i think something massive bigger than we have ever seen or herd of to bring america to her knee’s.
My support is for CAIN but i have no idea what is going on why would Chris CHRISTIE endors romney?
Someone gave him the nod that for sure ..and that is why i think something is up i think this election is on purpose going to be botched from top to bottom by the republicans on purpose ,and cain (not being in the loop ) will be eliminated early mark my words!!!
‘Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Indians’
I’ve worked with a good cross-section of the above Asian ethnic identities over the past 30+ years. Aside from a few comments I heard about the Chinese not really happy about Indian immigration to China, there was one common theme.
None of them really like the average, stereotypical black person. Possibly because of the US influence of ‘black crack dealing absent daddy and black ho on welfare having more kids for the cheque’. Bottom line is that the Asians all have a much higher work ethic – on average – than what they have heard or seen with respect to the black race(s).
Yes, there are many wonderfully decent and successful black people. I count several among my friends. However, even they shake their heads at the larger element that gives them a bad name.
The Democrats are using the dregs as a tool to further their success in the polls and at election time. It’s no accident.
Gord Tulk at 4:01 nails it.
Knight 99 shortly thereafter expresses it succintly.
The Kennedy Administration didn’t give a #%it about the Negro except for political purposes. LBJ was even more of a bigot. It is telling that MLK dropped a huge bag of cash at the feet of Dick Nixon for his election war chest. He knew what was going on and threw his support to the GOP.
Herman Cain is a direct threat to the Liberal Society chokehold on the U.S. Females and minorities, especially Blacks must stay on the reservation.
If you watch the media questioning of Herman Cain, it’s extraordinary to watch the “journalists” act as Overseers. But they see themselves in that capacity.
Now that Cain is in a deadheat tie with Romney, expect to see more aggressive handling by more important Overseers, as the chain of command in Liberal America become more resentful.
Watch Herman Cain tonight in the GOP Debate, he will be sitting in the hotseat, being moved right next to Establishment choice Mitt Romney.

No, it’s more of the raid, rob, and pillage of Asian businesses as exemplified in the Rodney King riots in L.A.
By the way, both the U.S. and Canada used Asian virtual slave labour to build their main railroads while treating Asians to second/third class status all the way up until the end of WWII and do you see Asians playing the victim card the way Black people do?
No.
A short time ago on either Rutherford or Adler, some analyst was discussing those who who have wealth. The analyst found that people of wealth came to be from a “rags to riches” scenario, it was not from a “passed down” effect.
What I found most interesting was that those surveyed who were wealthy did not have much faith towards those who would inherit it. Why?, because they didn’t earn it. They didn’t due the leg work to gain it, so they wouldn’t have the wisdom to keep it.
I believe the occupiers would make a bigger and better statement if they could prove to society that they could be prosperous in the wilderness. Unfortunately they have no clue what prosperity means. Give any one of these occupiers a million dollars, and I bet they would piss it all away. They would be the stereotypical native who gets $80k when they turn 18.
They deserve nothing since they haven’t the work ethic to carve out a life. They are materialistic b@sta@rds looking for a fix. They would rather camp out in the streets and protest, than knock door to door looking for a job…or 3.
I would vote for Cain, even though he is way more successful than me.
I’m curious if the occupiers have noticed the easy street their political representatives are living?
I said, in the early days of the GOP race, that Cain was the logical choice because he takes race out of the equation. Turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I’m curious if the occupiers have noticed the easy street their political representatives are living?
~Knacker
Good point.
I think they’ve noticed that their Democrat representatives are all on easy street by 2 specific routes:
a) they inherited or married their wealth
b) they played the victim card successfully
One guess as to which road to wealth the observant occupiers are hoping to tread.
By the way, a number of SDA commenters have stated that many of the ‘occupiers’ are just there to ‘hook up’, and I agree.
I wonder if any anthropologists out there have considered studying and writing papers on these protests as the unwashed unabashed mating ritual of the MarxAnus Erectus.
The lefties are desperate to smear Cain. So far the best they’ve come up with is that he said he wouldn’t have any Muslims in his cabinet.
Sorry I missed stating that the analyst studied only Canada and found that the high majority of the wealthy are of the “rags to riches” type.
Hi Fred,
Slavery occurred in British North America before it became Canada. And the natives here were practicing it long before the Europeans came and formed BNA and then later Canada. Unless I am mistaken, I believe the British ended slavery in North America many years before the Americans did.
And my friend’s husband who claimed he was unable to get work because of Canada’s “history of slavery”? Well he is only a second generation Canadian whose family came to Canada by way of France and they have never been slaves. He just happens to be a well educated, lazy dude with lots of degrees who will use any excuse not to get a job. Strange.
Slavery existed to minor degree in both French and English regimes. The various colonies making up Canada rid themselves of slavery before 1800, long before it was banned in the Empire. While there was no specific act, Canadian courts refused to enforce ownership of another human.
