Why Do Republicans Think Herman Cain Can Wrest African American Voters From President Obama?
I believe Alan Keyes got 3% of the African American vote. Also, doesn't that presuppose that African Americans vote for a candidate because of he or she is the same color as them. Not only is that insulting but it's something they accuse African Americans of doing.
Negro, please...

2. Because HC is Black. This shows their lack of respect for AA voters.
Racist Bastards.

13. Not only a lack of respect but a general lack of UNDERSTANDING
This idea that black folks will always vote for the black guy or gal shows a hilarious lack of understanding and knowledge of history.
And I've seen people on the left and the right make this absurd argument.
Yet 97% of the black community voted for Barry...
Alot of racist shit on DU on this thread.

How else can you possibly explain Cynthia McKinney, or the stupidest person in the entire Western Hemisphere, Sheila Jackson Lee?

Don't forget "Freezer" Jefferson.
BO picked up the black vote just because of skin color.
BO also picked up white votes because many feared being tagged as racist.
An HC vs BO line up would allow the blacks to vote their politics, not skin color.
Same for overly sensitive whites.

In the context of Louisiana democrat politics, Freezer Jefferson wasn't out of line.
Of course, you could say that in the context of black politics, Sheila Jackson Lee isn't really stupid.

Simply put, the left feels they corner the market on the black population.

Why do democrats have such a problem with Herman Cains skin color?

Good question.
Probably because he was one who got away.
Remember the slave-holding mentality of Democrats.

True.
In this case it appears the Underground Railroading is not there to help.

That's not the point. We conservatives look at Cain as being aligned with our views and a past successful track record of economic and business acumen.
The DUmp just as racist as the terror wing of the democrat party, the KKK.

I think Cain will resonate with some Blacks, but the majority? no way, and that's really sad, because all Blacks have to do is look at their lives and ask themselves if their lives have improved in the 5 decades they've been voting for Democrats.
