So when people accuse him of not really being black, or claiming that the tea party is founded in racism, or that the opposition to Obama is based on racism, do you care if they don't base their ideas on facts? Or is it just that he actually admits that it's his opinion and NOT a proven fact?
*********, mcbrett.
this topic is clearly above your head sangre.. you may wanna skip it and go talk about tv shows or something.
Having a fair shot doesn't mean social engineering- it means eliminating things like affirmative action, it means accepting applicants for schools or jobs based purely on their merits, it means rewarding people through compensation or promotions based purely on their work and not their race, religion or other social issues.
That is a truer form of a capitalist society- how John Smith envisioned in his book, and what makes us operate much more efficiently.
That actually is both a Conservative and Liberal principle- but it's cute to see a few nim rod responses regardless.

The fact that these fools are protesting everywhere but Capitol Hill does nothing to disprove his thoughts. The politicians are the ones, who have allowed Wall St., to become a runaway train. Start attacking the politicians and their greed.
You are not going to make make a big bank chairman resign, just because you sleep on the streets, refuse to shower and chant a few slogans. But you can vote in elections and change government.
Add to the fact, that unions are now joining in, but silent on the culpability of their political allies in all this is sad. Sad, but predictable.
Buncha liberal arts majors, wanna be social workers wasting time and resources on ********.

It's astounding how out-of-touch Cain is with the reality that many people are facing.
If you don't have a job it's your own fault? Isn't reality a little more complicated? It's certainly true that, for some people, not having a job is their own fault. But for others it simply isn't. People who see reality in such black/white terms scare me, because reality is not black and white.
It isn't wrong for young people to be protesting when they realize that the financial profligacy of their parents, grandparents, and political representatives has mortgaged their future before they even get a chance to start. Young people being born today are being born with a huge debt liability hanging over them. Talk about taxation without representation!
I feel sorry for young people being born today. Our inability to live within our means ---- our love of wars and prescription drug benefits and bailouts ------- ensures that they will almost certainly live in a diminished nation.

Refreshing? He just lost all credibility.
Of course it is up to each one of us to take care of ourselves. Thats what Ron Paul has been preaching for a long time. So nothing new there.
But,
For Cain to say dont blame Wall Street... really? Obama bailed out Wall Street. The Banks, the Fed, Washington full well deserve the ire of the people, and Cain has the nerve to tell the masses that its their own fault?

the wall street protests, criminals, drug addicts and losers.....
a friend of mine walked by them toiday and said the stench is unbearable. they piss on everything and are a general eyesore and dangerous. Picture a hundred drag worms that you would have to walk through to get to class.
__________________________________________________
The criminals are crashing the party.
Lured by cheap drugs and free food, creepy thugs have infiltrated the crowd of protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park for Occupy Wall Street, The Post has learned.
“I got warrants. I’m running from the law,” boasted Dave, 24, a scrawny, unshaven miscreant in filthy clothes from Stamford, Conn. “I’m not even supposed to be here, but it’s as good a spot as any to hide.”
Wanted for burglary, the drug-addled fugitive said some of his hard-partying pals clued him in that the protest was a good place to be fed, get wasted and crash.
“I’ve been smoking and drinking in here for eight days now,” said Dave, booze on his breath and his eyes bloodshot as he lay sprawled on a tattered sheet of cardboard. “I need to get some methadone. Every day, I wake up, and I’m f--ked up.”
Drugs can be easy to score -- a Post reporter was offered pot for $15 and heroin for $10.
They’ve already fueled at least one violent incident, when a wasted nut job socked a medical volunteer in the face before others hauled the attacker away.
“We are trying to keep everything calm and work with the police, but there are some crazies in here,” said Paul, a security volunteer.
“The other day, there was a guy charging people $5 to use the McDonald’s bathroom. He was on LSD or high on something.”
Some protesters have said that in addition to being against Wall Street greed, they also are for a withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq and more help for Haiti.
But as the protest ground on for a 23rd day, it was evident that there were challenges.
Zuccotti Park smelled like an open sewer -- with people urinating and defecating in public.
And some couples have taken advantage of the free condoms distributed by organizers to do the nasty in full view of other protesters.
“It kinda makes me think of what Woodstock must have been like,” said one protester, Sarah, 19 from the Upper West Side.
“I haven’t hooked up with any guys ... but one of my friends did have sex in a tarp with a guy last night.”
The free chow offered to protesters was boosting the crowd.
“People say they are here for the cause, but the real reason is the free food,” quipped Cameron, 26, of Jersey City.
“On my third day, they had smoked salmon with cream cheese. You know how much smoked salmon is a pound? Sixteen dollars. I eat better here than I do with my parents!”
Many of the protesters said they are here for the long haul -- and predicted trouble if cops try to clear the park.
“When the weather starts getting cold, we’re already talking about bringing tents in here,” said Robert, 47, of Pennsylvania. “I’m not going anywhere.
“I lost my job of 22 years, and someone has gotta pay,’’ he said. “Civil disobedience is something we may need to keep this site occupied. If everyone does it at once, the cops won’t be able to do anything.”
Three protesters took their sleeping bags and tried to camp out on Wall Street near Nassau Street last night. When police told them to move, one demonstrator, Zachary Miller, 20, from California, was arrested for disorderly conduct, cops said.
At one point yesterday, a speaker from Washington, DC, told protesters how to break out of zip ties and handcuffs in case they get collared.
