Herman Cain: The Black Community is 'Brainwashed' to Vote Democrat - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32549122]So you make a derogatory comment about liberals, and then when challenged on it say it doesn't matter? Real classy.[/QUOTE] I mean to say it's liberal thinking that gets you this way, "the ends justify the means" line of thought since that's effectively what liberalism tends towards. Basically, help everyone (which isn't plausible), screw whatever logical or legal reasons not to. Modern conservatives are barely even conservative. All I see is two shades of brown turd. Liberalism is not the same thing as being a democrat if that's what you thought I meant... [QUOTE]All the while fighting to get rid of the income tax, the few business regulations that are still in place, welfare, the minimum wage, and leave gay marriage up to the states even more so than we already are, among other things. Sorry, but I won't be voting for him.[/QUOTE] If they would lay off the taxes we might actually be able to afford to live. I'm certain taking peoples' money is not the surest way to get them to spend more and make the economy thrive, seeing as it runs on people spending money. The business regulations are debateable and, considering these people are the only reason we have an economy, are not really safe to screw with right now. Too many people are living on welfare and have been (it used to be because they didn't want to find work, now they just can't). Minimum wage increases can trigger inflation, which is the last thing we need right now. Furthermore, the federal government really doesn't have a right to determine what is and isn't a legal or religious definition of marriage. If they want the benefits they should have civil union or a partnership of some kind, otherwise I don't quite understand the point in even wanting it. [QUOTE]Seems like a pretty rash generalization to say that "people" don't care about the constitution.[/QUOTE] They obviously don't. How many people even know what's in there? How many people can tell you [I]why[/I] those things are in there? If the people as a whole cared enough, the TSA would not be groping our children, we wouldn't be okay with policing the world, and something might get done around here. Instead we let them have their circus year after year while they further ruin what's left of this sad country.

Uh, I'm pretty sure they vote that way because your party always tries to take away their ability to vote every time they get into power.

As for welfare, no, it was never a program for people who didn't want to work, and civil partnerships carry the same connotation segregation did of "separate but equal".

[QUOTE=thisispain;32550027]what kind of crack are you smoking?[/QUOTE] Hes on Jenkem not crack.

It does kind of make sense given that Republicans paint the picture of traditionalism, and certain American traditions aren't very loved by the black community. Definitely not a matter of being brainwashed, though.

Ultra Violence: The Rural White Community is Brainwashed to Vote Republican Hey look I can make wild blanket assumptions too, Mr. Cain. [editline]30th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dysgalt;32550373]Hes on Jenkem not crack.[/QUOTE] huff jenk erryday

Herman Cain is just the Token Black Guy that the Republicans prep up just so that they won't appear racist.

Jenkem is often so broken in his logic I don't even know where to start.

I definitely wouldn't say they've been brainwashed, but in the media (which influences peoples opinions a lot) conservatives are usually portrayed as sort-of racist. While some of them may be, not all of them are. You can't really call being influenced by media brainwashing though.

I've been brainwashed and i am white,oh god all praise republicans and conservatives!

Obama 2012 Everytime I hear something about Ron Paul, Hermain Cain, etc I hear something different about them. One point I heard Ron Paul want to get rid of Public schools, Hermain Cain against freedom of religion, etc. Then again I hear this all on Facepunch. v:v:v

[video=youtube;t4JxDHtR6lc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4JxDHtR6lc[/video] After seeing this I'd be surprised if they didn't vote democrat.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32548282]I don't think he really thinks they're being brainwashed, but I'm saying you don't use that word unless you mean it. He could've said "fooled", "conned", or something that goes along with misleading them, but "brainwashing" is incredibly abrasive.[/QUOTE] You're really going out of your way to make this look like a crazy statement. Because everyone knows that there's no possible use for the word "brainwashing" unless you actually mean strapping people into a chair and forcefully changing their psyche Clockwork Orange style.

[QUOTE=Keegs;32548296]Open Minded.. right.. I'm sorry, Herman Cain, but what is your stance on Gay Marriage, Abortion and the legalization of Marijuana?[/QUOTE] Open minded =/= Liberal

At least he said the black COMMUNITY and not RACE. I always find it funny how so much people brag about Racism in the US while a lot are still using the term race to designate people.

[QUOTE=Jenkem;32549035]If you want a new idea, vote for Ron Paul.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure I would consider "go back to how government was during the Industrial revolution" as a new idea.

[QUOTE=Rocket;32565838]Race is a thing. People may have/still discriminate based on it, but it's still part of who we are.[/QUOTE] No it's not. You can say there are races with dogs because they have huge differences, which is not the case with a human being. You can describe one and sum up his appearance by the simple color of his skin, but you can't make various precise races with human beings. Not enough variances. [editline]1st October 2011[/editline] We can be recognized as belonging to a TYPE (Caucasian, Asian, Afro-American, etc) but the use of that precise words includes the fact that it's only a matter of slight physical appearance changes.

[QUOTE=Rocket;32565838]Race is a thing. People may have/still discriminate based on it, but it's still part of who we are.[/QUOTE] the concept of race actually did not exist till about the time that european imperialism became big

[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;32565650]Open minded =/= Liberal[/QUOTE] No, but being open minded would mean you'd support the rights of human beings whether they're gay or not, you'd support the right of people to control their own body in a threatening and dangerous as well as life changing moment, and you'd also be pretty much a-okay with people using near harmless drugs on their own bodies when every day, two drugs kill more people than that one has ever.

Brainwashed... such irony with Fox News.

[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;32565650]Open minded =/= Liberal[/QUOTE] I feel like you have to be socially liberal to be open minded. In north america anyway, being socially conservative means you want christ with a side of christ with a sprinkling of christ on top.

I lost all respect I had for Cain after hearing him compare the current tax system to slavery. Not only are the two damn near incomparable, but using your lineage to capitalize on the struggles of others is absolutely pathetic and shameful.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32548094]What do you think a secondary meaning of "brainwashing" could be?[/QUOTE] "George Bush doesn't care about black people".

Remember how people said that you aren't really black if you vote conservative and were black? I even think I heard congress members say that. Everyday people come out and say that black guys neeeeeed welfare to be equal. Everyday the goverment liberals specificaly target blacks saying republics "want them hanging from trees" I don't know about you, but that sounds like brainwashing to me.

[QUOTE=MasterG;32568072]Well duh. If they voted republicans, they'd probably get racially segregated again with the number of extremist racist christian homophobes that reside in the GOP.[/QUOTE] Tea Party anyone ?
