Don’t get it twisted. Herman Cain is Black.

Pay no attention to him telling the Values Voters Summit audience that he ain’t mad at white America for how blacks were treated in the past, or for his dialing back criticism of Rick Perry when the “niggerhead” controversy emerged. That’s all G from a guy who’s trying to ingratiate himself with white voters. Despite him saying that he is “American first, black second,” we have reason to believe that Cain is indeed first and primarily black. Pay attention to the fact that some of the first words out of his mouth when he announced to thousands in Atlanta that he was running for President were “awwwww shucky ducky.” Pay attention to the fact that when “niggerhead” was exposed he was one of the first black people to make a public statement about it.

Still not convinced? We went through his book “This is Herman Cain!, My Journey to the White House” and found nine facts about Cain that proves he is way blacker then he’s cared to admit on the campaign trail:

1. CHROMED OUT CADDIES

Cain’s father Luther bought a Cadillac growing up — three Caddies actually. Herman brags about this, especially about the fact that one Caddy was chromed out, which was how playa’s did it back in the 60s, which was “the era of chrome.” Describing his dad’s car Cain says “Today you would call it a drug dealer’s car-you get the image?” Yeah, we get it. Cain also recalls speeding — “doing 85″ — down the interstate with his father and brother in those Caddies while on the radio with truckers asking them to look out for the police — speeding through Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, the whole Dirty South, daring a cop to pull them over.

2. STREET CRED

As a young’n, playing with his brother Thurman, Herman watched his brother Thurman point a BB gun at their cousin Elizabeth and then shoot her in the butt. He doesn’t really have anything else to say about it except that she “was not really hurt,” showing his inner ruthless, gangsta side.

3. LOVE FOR THE PJs

Throughout his book, when referring to the public housing he lived in when he was younger, he spells “Projects” with a capital P — “I’ll never forget the day when I was in fourth grade that we moved from the Projects to our house on Pelham Street.” He doesn’t even capitalize the “p” in President of the United States in the book, but it’s okay — we know he’s proud of his roots.

    Another dumb hit piece by NewsOne.

    Whew…I was worried for a minute about my own blackness. After reviewing the nine reasons, I fit number 4. Or does that only make me part black?

    Never a good sign when News One has to TELL Herman Cain and Barack Obama that they’re Black.
    It’s not that Herman Cain and Barack Obama are Black…its getting them to ADMIT it in a room of White people.

    Good luck with that one.

    Sad, because a black man who differs with the Demonic Party , and Obama is disrespected like Cain is. This hate by so called black people, it’s a sad message to send to the young people esp. black children, and to other’s.
    It says if you don’t follow the black main stream, or others you will be criticized ,lied on, called everything , and threaten with murder.We have two main political parties in this country , and those parties have worked well for over 235 years, the Democratic Party with its long history of racism was the party of the KKK or Dixie Crates, and Republican Party the party that stood against slavery, and party of Lincoln.This is what made this country great having the right to chose, your representation .
    In other countries esp. black countries this hate has involved into killings, shootings esp. Africa , Jamaica ,were those countries are in limbo, have not progressed even though there rich in resources because of this hate. I see the same hate and how it evolves on this site if we were a country we would be at war with each other. I’m glad to see another black man expanding his views and political prowess in something other than the left wing,liberal,socialist Demonic Party.
    This is America at its finest when two parties have blacks having influence on policy.

    With or without this so called “list of blackness”, I already can tell that this man is pure blackness by the way that he speaks. I could already tell that he was a real black man by the way that he carries himself.

    He lived in the projects as a kid, but he does not seek any “GLORY” for that. Only an idiot would think living in public housing is something to glorify. Herman Cain grew up like many black people grew up, which is why he has works so hard. He refuses to promote foolishness among black people. AND, he is the only black man that is running for president that will actually address issues that pertain to black people.

    Im not saying that he is the answer to the problems of this country, because he certainly has his flaws, but I think this man deserves to be heard. I think black people should hear him out first. Then make up their minds.

    “Only an idiot would think living in public housing is something to glorify. Herman Cain grew up like many black people grew up, which is why he has works so hard. ..

    Its a shame that the young blacks of today (even some that write articles on this news site) think that if you work hard and had a family that told you life would be no crystal stair–you are an uncle Tom! And if you notice its the young black journalists and the democrats who think public housing and section is to be glorified.

    He does speak the Truth on CERTAN issues! I admired him when he was asked by a news agent, about the job economy, and he did not hesitate to say that BLACKS SUFFER THE MOST from being unemployed.

    Let’s also remember how they pounced on him about marching during the civil rights movement. What negroids fail to remember is…Malcolm X, Minister Farrakhan, Elijah Muhammad, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner or Denmark Vessey DID NOT MARCH! THEY WERE ABOUT ACTION, not singing and marching, and trying to get along with caucasoids!

    As far as his BRAINWASHED STATEMENT…even Malcolm X said that negroes were BRAINWASHED by white amerikkka! As far as racism is concerned, it WILL NOT HOLD you back, if you have a game plan! I would MAKE A KLANNER hire me, if I needed a job because I got the gift of gab! I have NEVER been out of a job….NEVER!

    Today, it’s a different ball game, but Blacks need to BUILD THEIR OWN and stop patronizing these foreigners…that’s the problem with Black people. They cry about no jobs, but they continue to give these foreigners their money! Whose fault is that?

    Good post, my brother!

    While I’m not a big proponent of either party, the fact that you have stated Cain as being an intelligent Black man while he has admittedly resigned his position as that description when he aligned himself with the very same Wall Street brokers and Financial institutions that put us into the mess that we’re struggling to remove ourselves from. From his own mouth, he has said that if you’re not rich, employed or so on and so forth it is your fault… thereby blaming the ills of unemployment even for those that have maintained their past position for numerous years. What makes this even more preposterous is that he then went on to blame the democratic party for the ills in washington right now, contradicting his own point earlier of blaming yourself.

    As far as the history of the parties, there is some disconnect in that one because the ideals held by each party right now are those that were of the opposing party of old. The republic party of old did call for the end of slavery, however did not free as many slaves as it is rumored to have freed by the emancipation proclamation.

    Whatever the case, I see you have already resigned yourself to your own ignorance so there is no point in further expressing my distaste for such lack of intellect. I do not like much of either party, however the creation of another and putting our own advocates in there is much too progressive for many people to comprehend.

    This is hysterical. If this list, intended to mock Cain’s ‘blackness’ was written about Obama, it would be denounced as racist. The double standard is in full effect

    Right on, right on my brotha, “This is America at its finest when two parties having black intelligent men having influence on those parties” A lot of people need to “grow up” there is room for more than one black person in high offices of goverment. The more the better.

    Peoples425,

    The Republic party believes in self impowerment.

    The Democratic party believes let big bother do that for you.

    Which one is better for the black man?

    In all due respect, most people do not even know this man. Where did he come from? Herman Cain is a front for the white Koch brothers. Now, I know this sounds like the same old rhetoric, but go beyond what the media is trying to get you to believe. If you want some real facts on who Herman Cain is go to You Tube, The Young Turks video on Herman Cain. Herman Cain is being sponsored by the Koch brothers. Don’t know who they are, read up on them. They are two POWERFUL republican white brothers, who own half the US. They have their hands in almost everything that we use daily. We are giving our money to two powerful brothers, who only care about people, like them, RICH. The Young Turks will present you with all of the facts you need on this dude, Cain. He is arrogant, and disrespectful, but what is even scarier, is that he is doing just what the Koch brothers want him to do, (being funded by them), in order to reduce their own taxes. Herman Cain is also a liar, when questioned about his book. He claims that when the CIVIL RIGHTS issues were around, he was in college, and that is why he did not become involved. He was NOT in college at the time. When confronted about it, he became arrogant, and lost his cool. Do not be fooled because this man is a Black man. Do your homework.

    Like you cat daddy, I am at a loss as to how these people are coming up with such weak, unsearched information.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Elvira-Paris-Walker/1301671913 Elvira Paris Walker

    He speaks like a man who is totally in love with himself. He speaks like a man who is being funded by two Republican billionaire brothers (Koch). Do your research on the KOCH brothers. Herman Cain will address the issues that benefit the RICH first. Because, he grew up in a project does not mean that he will fight for poor people the rest of his life. And, I think that Black people should do more than hear Herman Cain out. They should do their research on man, who came from out of the blue. Do you expect him to say bad things about himself. Listen in on his interviews. He is arrogant, and incapable of holding his cool, when he is questioned. If you are going to be a public figure for the country, you have to be open to questions and criticism. He is open to neither, when it goes beyond what he believes. IN OTHER WORDS, HERMAN CAIN IS BEING USED AS A PAWN FOR THE KOCH BROTHERS. And, you wont believe what they are into.

    “He speaks like a man who is totally in love with himself.”
    _______________________________________________________

    LOVE OF SELF is a must. How can you live a productive life without being in love with YOURSELF first? Secondly, making claims of him being tied to rich republicans is also not a bad thing. How do you think Obama was put in Office?? How do you think Obama raises his money? HE DONT GET IT FROM HOMELESS SHELTERS AND MIDDLE CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS MY FRIEND. I see that you are gonna be on here all day posting the same thing, but if this is all that you have, then PLEASE go back to bed. The argument that you are trying to make is WEAK at best.

    NOW, i can give some HUGE reasons as to why you should not vote for Herman Cain, and it has nothing to do with him being a republican, rich, or in bed with rich people. But i will not even waste my time with that on you. You are clearly just another EMOTIONAl, liberal, Obama supporter that wants to cry about the GOP.

    Have a great day

    The republican party believes in a lot of things, however it does little to help deliver self EMPOWERMENT except for those that are already there or near there.
    As I said in my earlier post, I am not a proponent of EITHER party so therefore there is nothing else need be said in regards to this debate.

    Yeah… I’m sure logic isn’t something you tend to comprehend so you have a blessed day as well.

    Interesting that you accuse someone of uninformed commentary before you’ve confirmed the information yourself. Sounds like you are perpetuating the very complaint you have. I’m at a loss for words on just how little intellect is used when responses are brought forth.

  • cat daddy

    Who are you to tell people nothing else needs to be said, no one wants to hear that crap your talking about any way.

  • Anonymous

    I wasn’t telling “people” anything about nothing needed to be said, I was telling YOU that nothing else needed to be added to that debate about the party system in which I DID NOT advocate for.

    And just because you consider intellectual debate “crap” does not mean that it is what you think it is. If you have a better argument for your perspective then perhaps I’ll listen, but until then you have little to say that would advocate for either party nor add to intellectual discourse to provide some alternative to current situations.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/catt11mann/ catt11mann

    And Obama is backed by Wall Street and West Coast elite, I guess their not as racist as Kock Brothers, American politic’s will always have questionable people involved, Americans are more concerned with jobs,and who better to put food on the table.
