Cain is Able – He’s Also The Leftists Worst Nightmare…..

Written by Michael Beck  Herman Cain is Janeane Garofalo’s Worst Nightmare!

Here we go. With the emergence of Herman Cain as the winner of the latest [Fox/Google] Republican debate and the Florida straw poll, we can now expect to see the bigoted hypocrisy of the left kick into high gear. I have always thought highly of Cain but never figured he had a chance. Even now there is a huge hole in his resume´ where governmental experience should be. That aside, the left is terrified of him because he represents a black alternative to President Obama with solid quantifiable and feasible solutions to the economic issues that Obama can’t wrap his arms around. That is the worst possible development for the lefties. Since before Obama was elected, liberals have made hay within its ranks off of the ridiculous claim that we on the right don’t like Obama because he’s black.

In light of Cain’s jump into the top tier of the pack, the liberal accusation of mindless racist hatred is in serious jeopardy. However, because there is no way the left will ever back down from its flagrant use of the race card, we can now look for Janeane Garofalo, Chris Matthews, Maxine Waters and many other “well respected” spokespeople on the left to lean into the strategy of ad hominem attacks with renewed vigor. Conversely, we can also look for the president to support the tactic by acting as if it isn’t happening with equally renewed selective myopia.

In the coming days and weeks we will see a massive push to paint Herman Cain as “Uncle Tom”. But for that label to be applied correctly one has to show that Cain is helping to promote a system that keeps chains on the hands and feet of blacks and the “massah’s” whip upon their backs. Unfortunately for the left, that’s a hard assertion to maintain. Herman Cain is just one of countless people who have made the conscious decision to walk away from the victim-oriented zeitgeist that has been force-fed to the black community of America since the horrible dawn of Johnson’s “Great Society”.

The mindset I’m referring to is responsible for falsely telling blacks that they aren’t capable of succeeding on their own and, therefore, must be given one mulligan after another everywhere in life in the form of such criminally racists acts as Affirmative Action. But when one looks at blacks who have declined the handout from their pseudo-benefactors and decided to play the game cleanly, one sees CEOs at such firms as American Express, IBM, UPS, and yes, Godfather’s Pizza. Self-motivating blacks have climbed to the top seats of the entertainment industry, sports, the military and government. Indeed, it is difficult to find any part of American society that has not been penetrated and mastered by blacks who have chosen to do it on their own.

To say that current day right-wing conservative white America is putting forth a concerted effort to hold blacks back just isn’t true. Indeed, put as frankly as possible, it’s a lie and anyone who says it is a bold faced liar. That’s not to say that blacks in America aren’t being held back. It just means that conservative Americans are not the ones doing it. Remember that it was Ronald Reagan who appointed the first black National Security Adviser and it was the much-maligned George W. Bush who appointed not only the first, but the first TWO black Secretaries of State.

When Jackie Robinson was finally invited to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers he did so under the harshest conditions ever faced by a player in Major League Baseball before or since. And yet he came out on the other end of his first season with 12 home runs, a league-leading 29 stolen bases, a .297 batting average, a .427 slugging percentage, and 125 runs scored. His Herculean performance earned him the inaugural Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award. That is an important distinction because it wasn’t just the first time a black person won the award. It was the first time the award was presented to anyone by baseball. The first person to ever be called the Rookie of the Year in Major League Baseball was also the first black player to ever play the game.

It must also be stated that it was a mean old white Christian who gave Robinson the chance to kick his way through a door that would never be closed again. And it wasn’t just baseball players or even black athletes in general who would eventually come through that door. Soon the entire Civil Rights movement would march through the door unlocked by a white man who would today be called a bigot because of his faith and a black man whom Janeane Garofalo would today call “Uncle Tom” for his involvement with Branch Rickey.

The claim that I am a racist simply because I don’t like Barack Obama and want him out of office doesn’t hold up in the plain light of intellectual thought. It either presumes that I am incapable of thinking beyond the color of a person’s skin or it supposes that Barack Obama is perfect with no flaws that might cause a person to disagree with his political or philosophical position. Both possibilities are deeply damaged. If I were one who hates a person over the color of their skin, would I want to replace one person of that skin color with another of the same color? If the political right-wing of this country were made up of people who hate blacks, how could the only black man in the race have run so completely away with the straw poll in Florida? On the other hand, if I can be immediately dismissed as a racist and never heard from again no one has to listen to my legitimate reasons for wanting Obama gone from office.

I don’t know if Herman Cain can come away with the nomination because of his aforementioned lack of experience. I do know that I will vote for him on every ballot upon which I see his name. I also know that he is the worst scenario Janeane Garofalo could possibly envision. Herman Cain is not an “Uncle Tom” by any stretch of the imagination. He is far worse than that. He has escaped the chains of the oldest and most oppressive slave plantation in our country’s history…

LIBERAL AMERICA.
