You ****ING clueless pizza delivery TOOL...racism doesn't "hold anybody back in a big way?"
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said on Sunday that he doesn't believe racism holds African Americans back.
"I don't believe racism in this country today holds anybody back in a big way," said, Cain, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, during an interview on CNN. “Are there some elements of racism? Yes, it gets back to if we don't grow this economy, that is a ripple effect for every economic level, and because blacks are more disproportionately unemployed, they get hit the worst when economic policies don't work. That's where it starts.â€
Cain asserted that he firmly believes that "many" African Americans have a level playing field when it comes to economic issues and pointed to his own credentials to make his case.
With the estimated unemployment rate for the African American community sitting well above the national average, the Republican hopeful signaled he sees the discrepancy as a product of geographical conditions and factors related to education. When it comes to African Americans struggling economically he said, "They weren't held back because of racism." He added, “People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use racism as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve."

People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use their sexual orientation as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve.
People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use their "disability" as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve.
*note I put disability in quotes, meaning those that have PTSD from being told to eat your corn at the age of 5 does not constitute a disability. *
People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use the GOP as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve.
People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use drug tests as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve.

I will always remember where I was the day Racism ended in America.
Are we gonna have a big party or what?
You guys use the N word much more at DU than any conservative site that I have been on. In fact the only time I have seen the N word used here at CC was to quote some leftist.

2. "They weren't held back because of racism." How about redlining?
How about the want ads saying "Negroes need not apply?"
I see ten of those on a daily basis.
The last time those signs existed most of us weren't even born yet.
