(ThyBlackMan.com) The Donald, the presidency and businessman Herman Cain…
Seems that all America’s Black Ladies’ Clubs have banned together to “boycott Donald Trump until he admits that President Obama was born in the U.S.” Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” television show, his casinos, office buildings, and hotels, have been put in economic peril by little gray-haired Black ladies.
The Little Ladies’ boycott may be “on hold” since President Obama put out his long-form Birth Certificate. Basically Trump is blowing smoke to inflate his television and presidential poll ratings; but the theory that Obama is not a naturally-born citizen and consequently ineligible to serve as President continues to built in size and strength. Birthers’ doubts about Obama go to the core of his signature appeal: his life as an example of “a multicultural ideal.” The “Obama legitimacy question” and the Black Ladies’ Clubs’ “Hate on Trump” campaign is headed for overtime. Record say that Barack Sr. and Ann Dunham married in Wailuku, Maui, on Feb. 2, 1961; but many wonder whether it was a marriage in anything but name or whether there was a marriage at all.
Trump’s legitimacy to be President of the United States is in question too. Trump talks more game than he’s got. It’s said in business circles that “The Donald” begged Forbes to list him as a billionaire, but – to no avail. Trump’s claim to fame is more that of a celebrity than businessman. Father Fred Trump built the real estate empire, the rest is a play were the 65-year-old Donald John Trump portrays the role of a prominent American business magnate, author, and television personality. He is the Chairman and CEO of the Trump Organization, a US-based real estate development company. Trump is also the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts, which operates numerous casino and hotel properties across the world. Trump’s extravagant lifestyle and outspoken manner have made him a celebrity for years most recently with his NBC reality show, The Apprentice (where he serves as host and executive producer). Most African-Americans ultimately don’t take Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy seriously. But, they should understand and accept the “he’s not one of us” position and culture.
Bottom-line, the Little Ladies have a tiger by the tail. The “birther” issue is part of a definite and dedicated movement to make Barack Obama a one-term President. Trump’s candidacy message may fall on deaf ears among African Americans, but Herman Cain represents the kind of “American success” bona fides the Little Ladies might like to hire in Obama’s place. There is no question that Cain’s “one of us. A 66-year-old successful businessman and radio talk show host, Cain is an “equal opportunity poster child.” He a former chairman and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, former deputy chairman (1992–94) and chairman (1995–96) of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. A “Morehouse Man,” Cain joined Pillsbury in 1977 and rose to vice president level. A successful company man, Cain took poor performing units and made them profitable. Pillsbury then appointed him President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza — in 14 months Cain returned the company to profitability. In 1988, Cain and a group of investors bought Godfather’s where Cain continued as CEO until 1996 when he resigned to become CEO of the National Restaurant Association where he had previously been chairman concurrently with his role at Godfather’s.
A 2012 election campaign with Cain on the ticket would be the type of “hope and change” Americans thought they were getting in 2008. If Cain couples his candidacy with a focus on race issues, the tactic could put many Blacks on the Republicans’ rolls in 2012. Cain’s conservative credentials could enhance his taking a principled approach to the race issue; and could jeopardize Obama’s and Democrats’ ability to continue getting 95 percent Black voter support. Only such a candidacy as Cain can mount could get the millions of Little Ladies to see how issues of Black economic development and chronic unemployment are being overlooked at the expense of the symbolism of keeping Obama in office. Herman Cain may be “the truth” in these matters.

This freaking old cat isn’t shit, when you forget where you come from your dome to go back to nothing, this guy is a idiot and i would not support any idiot white,black or anyone as dumb ass this dude and Sarah Palin.
Great article! You have done a great job in your contrast of Herman Cain and Donald Trump. Herman Cain is not only a serious contender and in it for one reason- to win, but there is NO BETTER candidate! In fact, none come even close to MR Cain. The media however is doing its best to avoid covering MR Cain and to marginalize his candidacy. As bad as his numbers are and his performance has been, let’s forget just for a moment who is in the Oval Office right now. It is not about that. It is about who should be in there the next time. Who has the ability and proven track record to lead this nation out of the economic and social doldrums? Enough of the divisiveness! We need a president who will truly unite us and lead us into a successful future. I don’t see any other choice. We need to stand up and speak out for Herman Cain. The media has been ignoring this black man for long enough.
AS A WHITE MAN,I CONFESS,TRUMP WILL BE MY FIRST CHOICE.IF TRUMP SEES FIT NOT TO MAKE THE RUN,THEN CAIN BECOMES A GOOD CHOICE.THE MAN GETS THINGS DONE.
There is no better candidate than Herman Cain.He’s done it without hardly a lick of media coverage.Can you imagine!?
GO CAIN GO!
I am interested to learn more on Herman Cain. He actually gets a big Plus from me with the fact that he was not a politition before but a business man. That’s what we need, not a community organizer that just expands our social services system.
We need JOBS.. not more unelpoyment benefits or extended welfare..we want to work and be free from Governemnt dependency!! With more jobs and business we then have more money coming in through payroll taxes for social security for when we retire.. the system is being drained now with more people on assistance that could be working..
The gas prices are too high, the cost of food is going up in result of that..the health insurance options will go away for some us that want to keep our own insurance but will not be able to under the current adminstration due to the penalties and cost..we are now engaged in 3 Wars.. why we are in Libiya, why? Didn’t Obama say he would recall our troops, we’re still in Iraq, Afganistan and now Libya.. there’s unrest in the Middle East period, we can’t help them all, nor can we afford to! Our Loyalties should be to GOD and what he has blessed us with..and we’re destroying it…
Keep Trump away from you Herman, he is just trying to make you lose support from the African American Voters. He is connected to Political Slavemaster and destroyer of Camden New Jersey, Corrupt Boss George E. Norcross.
Leave Donald Trump and his buddy corrupt Boss Leader George E. Norcross alone. Both men are racist, greedy and evil. They only care about themselves.
Trump is racist and divisive. He’s friends with Corrupt Boss George Norcross and involved in Criminal Organized Crime.
Herman cares about people, not color. He wants to fix the USA not bring divisive problems and greedy men like Trump and Norcross to the table. Hopefully he throw both of them in Jail where they belong.
Norcross told Trump to trip up Cain so he would lose credibility among africamn american voters, but Cain is about everyone not just a certain group
Trump is a troublemaker
Cain is just another FED creature. His time at the KC Fed is not a feather in his cap, but a reason to run far and fast from this mother. He is on record saying he sees no reason to audit the FED. Ron Paul is the only choice.
Great article. Well written, factual, and impactful.
I just tweeted this article because I too believe that Hermann Cain is exactly what America needs. He is genuine, smart and terrific. Did you see the debate last night? He rocked that thing. I hope that people will finally free themselves from the mentality that they need to embrace Obama despite his massive failures as President for some sort of feel good ethnicity cred. Herman Cain is a shining example of what a real role model should be, regardless of what color you are, he is a man for ALL Americans, not just some preferred demographic like the current President.
I first heard Herman Cain speak when I heard him on the radio about a year ago. My first response was “Man, if that person would just run for President…he’s clear, concise, has common sense, and has an authoritative posture….something we have been lacking for a few decades of Presidents.
So he has never been in office before..? SO WHAT! Thank God he isn’t poisoned by the political-professional career. Trust me, he isn’t running for the post-President pension program.
I have never donated to a campaign before, but Herman Cain will be the first person to whom I will make a political donation. I will also see how I can campaign for him.
Herman Cain is exactly what our sick and depressed America needs…except we need him NOW, not 2013! He will be able to counteract the hopelessness and despair that has set in because of how the BO administration has purposefully and systematically been destroying the very fabric of what America has always stood for…liberty and freedom, self-determination and personal responsibility. We need to once again be proud of our country and our President, and I believe “President Cain” will lift up the spirits of his beloved Americans and encourage them to restore it to greatness again. I also believe that an Alan West/Herman Cain ticket would blow BO and his shallowness out of the water. Americans can tell when they’re being given a bunch of phoney B.S., which is the only thing BO can offer.
From another white guy, Go Herman Go!
Thank you folks a million, from an old white ex-hippy redneck! You have nailed this, and it is my fervent wish that your article receives wide, or even viral exposure, especially among middle-America and other so called hyphenated-Americans. This guy is what all Americans should strive to be, and our electorate needs to hear his message, and elect him. Otherwise, We are likely directly en route to 3rd world status, and sooner than later. To date, the “entitlement” folks have been practicing exactly the strategy that Herman told us about:
S- Shift the blame
I- Ignore the facts
N- Name call
“Empowerment” is pretty much a cuss word to those folks, I guess…
Bottom Line: Run, Herman, Run!
