Herman Cain, Alan West, and the rest of those stooges.
Set aside their political and ideological views for a second, man.
I also don't like them politically or ideologically, but you have to admit that these are successful Black men who have done well to get themselves to where they are today.
Do agreed with me on that?
Of course I respect that aspect of them, but it still doesn't negate the fact that they are stooges for republican conservative bigots who use them to say; "See! That guy made the same insulting and ignorant about black people and he's black!". I actually agree with them in some respects when it comes to economic issues, but when west parades around and says that "Blacks are on the democrat plantation.' and Herman Cain makes a similar statement and includes that "Blacks are brainwashed because the vote democrat", they lose me. Here's a nice quote from another "Back conservative" and darling of "white conservatives", jesse lee peterson; "One of the things that I would do is take
all black people back to the South
and put them on the plantation so they would understand the ethic of working," Peterson told The Huffington Post's Black Voices on Tuesday afternoon. "
I'm going to put them all on the plantation. They need a good hard education on what it is to work.". I'm sure that this will 'please' some white conservatives on here who make the same insulting blanket generalizations about black people. These are the same 'folks' who hem and haw when they feel that they are being blamed for slavery and that they are called racists because they are white and 'conservative'.
I'm actually going to vote for Gary Johnson, I respect his attitude and accomplishments, he and Ron Paul don't make blanket generalizations about "the Blacks", if anything Ron Paul actually addressed the issue of sentencing disparities. "On July 29, 2009, the United States House Committee on the Judiciary passed proposed legislation, the Fairness in Cocaine Sentencing Act (H.R.3245), a bill sponsored by Bobby Scott. Co-sponsored by a group of 62 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul, the bill would have completely eliminated the sentencing disparity.[25" Here's a good video that explains it:

I disagree with President Obama's foreign policy, I don't like the fact that the health care plan is mandatory, I do like what he did with contracting opportunities and job opportunities on their recovery.gov website.
