    We have one Black President and one Black Attorney general and wanting more than that makes us GREEDY? And like you implied, what does that make the past 200+ years of all white presidents with their majority white staffs? No one's ever seemed to have much of a problem with that.

    That "There's not enough Black people" excuse is pretty tired. You hear it from the fashion industry, the movie industry, politicians, publishers, etc and it's just as ridiculous coming from them. No one is saying Black people need to be the majority but having a campaign staff for our Black President in which Blacks are less than 3% of the staff in a city that is 33% Black is pretty pathetic.

    Not true at all. Stop it with that bullshit.

    Herman Cain is black and he is loved by TONS of Republicans.

    I am also friends with many white conservatives & moderate Republicans & Independents. No racial tension whatsoever, but keep spouting off nonsense homie, it amuses me;)

    Herman Cain is a fucking buffoon who's paid by the Koch brothers to coon for the Republicans on television. You know damn well that nobody in your party takes that idiot seriously especially not after they found out that that fool can't contain himself around WW behind closed doors.

    From Fred's perspective, Clinton isn't Black, and he isn't a member of the racist republican party.

    Perhaps I'm wrong; correct me if I am, Fred.

    That type of false equivalency won't work here. We're talking about whether or not Cain is taken seriously by the Republican faithful. Clinton and Cain aren't in the same ballpark when it comes to intelligence and political acumen. And while Clinton definitely has his own problems with his lascivious tendencies, he's not a negro with a taste for white women in a party full of bigots.

    You can't be serious? Like someone said before he's a buffoon. Of course Republicans love him. Republicans always love Black Republicans and conservatives. Because they think they're somehow deluding people into believing that the Republican party and conservatives aren't a bunch of racist bigots. But that love only extends so far. As long as he and Black Republicans/conservatives like him shuck and jive to whatever tune they play hell they're more than welcome.

    But the second those Black Republicans stray off the plantation?

    Conservatives might be fooling themselves but they're not fooling anyone else.

    Frederick,you hit it on the head! The GOP are full of house slaves like Cain,Thomas,and many others on Fox News. Has any Black person has gotten into higher office? I bet those Black GOP Congresspeople would whittle down in November. Cong. West's seat in Fla has been redrawn by guess who? The GOP Legislature in Tallahassee. The GOP wants only Black clowns who can excellently shuck and jive. A Conservative Black Senator or Governor of a GOP State? Get Out of Town! They rather vote for a person from India like in SC & LA than a African-American person.

    lmao some of you are so predictable. If a black man has a different opinion
    thats yours'...he's an Uncle Tom

    And the left have such great black "leaders" like race baiting Al Sharpton and "I wanna cut Obama's nuts off" Jesse Jackson.

    smdh
    Has the Democratic party really been THAT good to the black community???? I'm just curious.

    Has the modern day Republican Party been good to the Black or any minority community? If so please list how. Just curious.

    That's it? Nothing else on the record? Besides Lincoln would be viewed as a commie by today's Republican standards. Hell, Reagan is viewed as a liberal by today's Republican standards.......
