Vanishing American has written a scary essay on the ominous statements being made by Republican activists about black candidate Herman Cain:2008 All Over AgainI realize it’s early yet, but it’s starting to look like the fix may be in. The GOP nominee may well be Herman Cain, judging by the mania that is developing out there.
At Fox News, there is gushing over Cain as the next Ronald Reagan.
See also this American Thinker piece and the comments following.
Some examples:
''Herman Cain is the Black Ronald Reagan of our time…. Imagine if Obama’s opponent was a black Reagan. It blows the race issue away, creates for once a truly positive role model for black youth and I see no down side as of today….''
'Real diversity.' The 'real big tent party.' This is what it has come to.
''Herman Cain will drive the libtards nuts, especially those at the Lame Stream Media outlets. They lose their Ace in the Hole, RACISM! What the hell will they have to talk about? Mr. Cain can slam dunk everyone of the clunkers policies and walk away unscathed. He is hugely loved in Fly Over USA!! YES WE CAIN!!!!''
Yes we Cain? No, we cain’t.
The last commenter above shows how little has been learned after seeing every 'conservative black' on the GOP side be called 'Uncle Toms' or 'Aunt Jemima', like Condi Rice. The race card has been played against Clarence Thomas and every other black 'conservative' paragon they wheel out. Black conservatives will not nullify the race card, as these Republicans keep saying. And even if they could, what would that imply? That we ourselves can’t speak for ourselves, we must have blacks to intercede for us with the gods of Political Correctness? …
The fact that Cain is gaining so much momentum is worrying, because what will our choices be in the next election? A choice between black candidate A and black candidate B….
I've said before, back in 2008, that electing a black president would be crossing a bridge, and it would establish a precedent that would then become the new norm, the default. A White nominee, from now on, will be at a decided disadvantage. Pale, male, and stale, as our foes put it. Now in our new and improved non-racist America, a black and/or female must henceforth be the only viable candidates. Anything else will be the fabled ''big step backward'' and 'proof that ugly racism still thrives in America'' and all the rest of it….
