You FUCKING clueless pizza delivery TOOL...racism doesn't "hold anybody back in a big way?"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said on Sunday that he doesn't believe racism holds African Americans back.

"I don't believe racism in this country today holds anybody back in a big way," said, Cain, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, during an interview on CNN. “Are there some elements of racism? Yes, it gets back to if we don't grow this economy, that is a ripple effect for every economic level, and because blacks are more disproportionately unemployed, they get hit the worst when economic policies don't work. That's where it starts.”

Cain asserted that he firmly believes that "many" African Americans have a level playing field when it comes to economic issues and pointed to his own credentials to make his case.

With the estimated unemployment rate for the African American community sitting well above the national average, the Republican hopeful signaled he sees the discrepancy as a product of geographical conditions and factors related to education. When it comes to African Americans struggling economically he said, "They weren't held back because of racism." He added, “People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use racism as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve."

1. Did he also say we can all use the N-Word now, too?

I will always remember where I was the day Racism ended in America.

Are we gonna have a big party or what?

[muntrv]

2. "They weren't held back because of racism." How about redlining?

How about the want ads saying "Negroes need not apply?"

[malaise]

3. What a tool

:puke:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. How can he be serious?

"They want to use racism as an excuse...?"

:wtf:

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. no. Just saying what he thinks he needs to say to get GOP nomination

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. and you thought Michael Steele was crazy!

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. You can stuff that crappy pizza up your ass, you moran.

and throw in two extra toppings for good measure.

What a freakin' tool.

7. "I got into Morehouse on a full-ride scholarship so fuck you!"

[Raschel]

18. What? NOBODY works as hard and is as smart as Pizza Man. He's better than the other brothers.

[jmowreader]

23. Brother knows how to lay off people and close stores, anyway

What the Herman Cain lovers will not tell you is he's the black Chainsaw Al Dunlap.

9. Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

And don't forget: If you don't have a job, it's your *OWN* damn fault!

[DataException]

10. He's an ass, but hardly "born on third base"...

according to wikipedia: "Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Luther Cain, Jr., and Lenora Davis.<7><8> His mother was a cleaning woman and his father, who was raised on a farm, was a chauffeur, barber and janitor"

[treestar]

19. The guy the Dad was chauffeur too

That happened to be a lucky break - the connection to that rich guy was very helpful

So he was sort of born at the plate but his Dad's connections got him to first.

[WinkyDink]

22. I hope he told them to blame themselves for not being rich.

[BiggJawn]

28. OK, so he was born UNDER third base... n/t

[jaysunb]

11. Cain raises some valid issues,.... but why ?

This type of issue has nothing to do w/ Presidential politics unless you're pandering to the racist
base of the party he represents.
I can't imagine anyone asking-- or a candidate offering, to di cuss the social ills of the poor white community and why they are as under achieving and just as ready to blame their favorite boogie man for their plight as some Blacks are.

This is as naked a display of being a "tom" as it gets. And it's sad that, this will actually help him w/ his target audience and help reinforce this meme among the easily swayed.

From one Back man to another : FUCK YOU HERM. You and Clarence remain at the head of the "brain dead" community. :evilfrown:

[Tom Ripley]

12. "That's why I would have taken the CEO gig at Sambo's"

[Raschel]

13. Always talking about race. What's his problem?

[Raschel]

14. Cain walked back his statement about Perry's lodge rock, "I really don't care about that word".

"They painted over it. End of story! I accept Gov. Perry's response on that."

He says Black Americans are brainwashedd, he believes one-third to 50 percent of black Americans are “open-minded".

He also says our President was raised in Kenya.

He needs to go sit in the back of the bus like his dad told him to.

He is a male Sarah Palin. A vile and divisive person.

[nevergiveup]

15. He is where he is in Republican politics today

because he is good at making racists feel less racist.

[Tom Ripley]

17. Yep, that's his job description

[Raschel]

21. Our President and the First Family have held themselves with dignity and grace. They've been a

wonderful example for American children.

Then we have to suffer fools like Cain.

[AverageJoe90]

25. Amen! n/t

[WinkyDink]

16. "....blacks are more disproportionately unemployed..." And WHY IS THAT, YOU MORON?

[Raschel]

20. Uncle Herman says, "If you don't have a job, and you're not rich, blame yourself".

[jmowreader]

24. The media is doing its damndest to paint this guy as an outsider...

You notice they never say "Retired Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City" but it's just as accurate as "Retired CEO of America's Worst Pizza Chain."

[leftyladyfrommo]

26. Republican Suck Up n/t

[Dogtown]

27. Uncle Who? n/t

[lindysalsagal]

29. THe man is enjoying the money flowing to him, but he forgets how fast they turn off the tap

and leave you naked by the side of the road the next morning.

He can't possibly beat Obama, so, he'll regret all of this very soon.

Wonder how many of this "friends" and family have ditched him, already.

I'm just waiting for the personal interviews against him to start. You know that if he can be bought, the people he comes from can be bought, too.

Wonder if Sarah, in all her compassion, will call him up and remind him of her own morning after the ball...She turned back in to cinderella, and so will he. He's not raising any money, and he's not half as sexy as she is.
