Yvette Carnell: Herman Cain Cashes in, Set to Host National Radio Show
by Yvette Carnell
Well, Well, Well. He finally made it happen. Mr. Cain finally cashed in big time on his minstrel run for President, this time with a national radio show.
The New York Times ‘Media Decoder’ blog is reporting that Herman Cain has inked a deal for a nationally syndicated radio show to begin in January. Mr Cain, who hosted a WSB Atlanta show before running for President, is setting the stage for grander schemes, thanks to his high profile run for the White House.
Most black people called this one months ago. I have to admit, I’ve never been kind to Cain, and it’s all been deliberate, and for good reason. Back in January, I said:
Now, as Cain re-emerges with a “Cain Solutions Revolution” tour, his intentions have been unmasked. His campaign has always been about raising his profile in hopes of winning a coveted FOX show or ratcheting up book sales. And he’s not going to give that up just because his campaign imploded. He’s a hustler. He may as well don a zoot suit, a perm, and pinky ring.
I’ve never had as much of a problem with Cain as I have with the people who pretended he wasn’t doing exactly what he was doing; using his candidacy as stepping stone to increased personal wealth. He’s always been a bit of a sideshow, but fortunately for him, he’s a sideshow that many conservatives enjoy watching.
But there is still an overwhelming sense of sadness in how blacks are overwhelmingly used as pawns, never players, on the American political chess board. Cain is akin to some sort of smiling and singing jack-o-lantern. He is a shucker and jiver. And Obama supporters tell me that Obama’s hands are tied, and there’s nothing he can really *do* to overcome an entrenched system of unfairness. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, I guess. Any excuse will do.

I WILL NOT BE LOOKING AT THIS SO CALL NEGRO…LOL
Why is he even on this site, I thought this site is for our black world. So where does he fit in? Leave Uncle Tom alone. We have more important issues to discuss
I Am Sick And Tired Of All These Phony Pretend To Be Afrian American Men And Are Nothing But “n****r males.” Herman Cain Is Nothing But A Racist Supporter.
ENJOYING OUR STUPIDITY
By: David W. Johnson, Jr.
As African Americans we are just beyond mentally dead or asleep
Everyday all you hear about is numerous dead adults and children
Some care less about our children and more about a cow or sheep
Our children have so few Men or Women on whom they can depend
Everyday you hear males and females talking about helping our kids
Right after the talking the next thing you hear is, “send a donation”
It’s like cars at an auction; our young people’s lives are up for bids
It is as though African Americans were back living on a plantation
Difference, instead of our enemies killing us, we are killing ourselves
People with brains and knowledge are trying to make a difference
Our enemies and the brainless are saying “let them kill themselves”
Males treat Children, our Elderly and Women with such indifference
Brothers, we have got to wake-up and see we are headed for destruction
Sisters all around us can see it and they are trying hard to make a change
Ignoring the problems will not bring our jailing and deaths to a reduction
Instead of good parents, children only have baby makers gone derange
Females only want males if they have money, looks and a long body part
Males only want females they can boss around, sleep with and impregnate
Tell me, when will the males and females stop and Men & Women start
Instead of homes males and females are going to graves or a prison gate
Some politicians are trying hard to pass laws that will eventually hurt us
President Obama is trying to show us the right road to travel to success
Instead of paying attention, all we seem to do is get drunk, kill and cuss
Come on Brothers and Sisters, for our children’s sake let’s end this mess
If you are going to have a baby wait until you have a degree and a Man
If you are a Real Man, find yourself a Real Woman and have Real Unity
To survive we must stop ignoring the problems and come up with a plan
Trust me; our enemies are truly laughing and “Enjoying Our Stupidity”
