Oh Hermie...

Let's talk about a little quote that got Mr. Herman Cain a lot of press:

"Many African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view,"

You can hear many of the pundits discussing this little tidbit of fun all over the political airwaves because Cain claims all of his majority (because many is more than half, right?) of his own brethren zombies. Now, I'm not African-American but if someone who wanted my vote insulted my intelligence because of the color of my skin, I think that would give me pause to pull the lever for their opponent.

I could write about African-Americans  and their support for the Republican party after Lincolns signed the Emancipation Proclamation until Jim Crowe laws were enacted in the South. How Republicans want to cut a lot of social programs that African Americans rely on. How when you look at the red states in the South, they happen to have the largest population of African Americans in poverty. But Roland S. Martin wrote it much more eloquently than I ever could.

If Cain wants to be invited to the big dance, he might want to look at how he courts the voters.
