I'm listening to them discuss it on TV. They showed a clip from a Cain interview from yesterday. He was asked why, since he lived in Atlanta, Georgia why he didn't march. He said the marchers were college students and he was in high school. It was pointed out that he was at MLK's college from 1963 to 1967, and in his 20's. He said that his father taught them not to get in trouble and they if they were told to move to the back of the bus, they moved to the back of the bus. Cain was asked what would have happened if Rosa Parks followed his father's advice, where would blacks be today? He said his father didn't give advice to Rosa Parks and at this point, became very, very angry and said, "Don't tell me how to be black".
Now this is a guy who has questioned Obama's "blackness and Americanism" and calls other blacks "brainwashed". A man who sat in the back of the bus and lied about why he wasn't "involved". MLK would would not be a Republican today. Cain received benefits he didn't earn. That much is clear.
How Many times have you been arrested Protesting RDean??? Bullshit walks. Demonstrating, Protesting, Civil Disobedience, is a matter of Free Will, and Conscience, just like Religion. Who the Fuck are You to dictate what Cain or Anyone else does? Who are you to have expectation of another being, and judge them unworthy? You are really a bottom feeder sometimes. I actually feel sorry for you.
So by your criteria, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are more than qualified to comment on Herman and the Civil Rights issue.
No, and neither am I, and I probably have more Arrests than both of them combined. This is not a Pissing contest. Who is anyone to Judge Cain for not Protesting or getting arrested. It is a matter of conviction, conscience, that is not found outside yourself. You are neither a better or worse person, as a result of it. We Each have Our Own Path. How long do you expect to live your life according to the expectations of others, diverting you from what is necessary for you?
