African American leadership: Herman Cain is a great example of a black leader

Herman Cain is a man with a serious plan. The main reason I endorsed Mr. Cain in the early portion of the 2012 GOP primary was that he is extremely intelligent on business and economics. He has an encyclopedic mind in regard to economics and business from personal experience in the private sector. The reason the Republicans make light of him and the Democrats hate him is his alignment with the National Tea Party Patriots. One other important point: He is not from Washington!! Herman Cain is truly a black leader and a man the black community can be proud of.

The media told us in 2008 that Obama had the experience to lead as President. The Democrats scoffed at questions about Obama`s experience as a politician and his overall experience as an executive. We were told that Obama`s sum total of less than 4 years combined as a state and federal legislator was enough and that he was a brilliant man. They now tell us the exact opposite in regard to other GOP candidates and leaders. They now tell us that the only candidates who are qualified to be President are those candidates with legislative experience.....Hog wash!!

Herman Cain is a man who cares about America and has the business experience we need in Washington. Most legislators-to include Republicans-are lawyers who have never met a payroll or balanced the books. It is high time we get rid of these lifer`s in our congress. I speak of both Republican and Democrat lifers who have made a career of corruption in Washington. Herman Cain is hated by the left and the Democrats, particularly black Democrats, because he is not on the white plantation of liberalism.

Herman Cain proposes idea`s that the Republican leadership is too cowardly to even mention and I am glad he has stayed close to GOP politics as an idea man for the Party. Believe that we will see a combination of Tea Party candidates, in the final weeks of the 2012 election, coming to the surface as the leaders in the party. I also believe the Republicans in Washington will only come along kicking and screaming, if at all. Take a moment to look at Herman Cain’s website and review his proposals: The fair tax, abolishing the capital gains tax, reduction of regulation, and energy policies that are business friendly. These are but a few of his ideals. I hope you will stay away from the popularity contest the media plays and find these facts for yourself; your country and your children`s future depend upon it.

One of the issues that come to mind with Herman Cain is his treatment by the black community at large. He is an extremely talented, articulate, and confident black man. The liberal black community on one hand asks America to be colorblind and on the other calls him a sellout, an uncle tom, and other racial slurs. How disgusting it is to see such a distain for success and freedom within the black community. How is it wrong for a black man or woman to decide to stray from the urban black culture? How is it that when a black man or woman decides to steer clear of the resentments of the past and just be a successful, educated, black American that the black community would shun them as traitors? That is bigotry and bias in the worst way and hypocritical on top of it all. What kind of message does this send to young black men and women who want out of the urban jungle, the ghettos, and poverty? What does it say to those in the black community who want to be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin? The black community should be ashamed of such bigotry.

I for one am tired of the attacks against those black men and women who have embraced the freedom this country provides and that their ancestors were denied. Men like Herman Cain have suffered the same racial bias and discrimination and yet rose above the hate and bigotry to become productive successful Americans. They chose not to return hate for hate; they chose to live out the dream of Dr. King. God bless those black Americans who discard resentment and fear, and who ask for nothing but the freedom to be the best they can be. I support Mr. Cain well and as a white conservative and I will continue to support his ideals.
