I couldn't have said it better myself.
The following is a message from Al Sharpton to Herman Cain:
"The greeting on your website says, "we are looking forward to hearing from you",
but I'm not sure you will be lookingf orward to hearing from me, Mr. Cain.
I saw on the internet that you called the President a liar. I deplore what you are doing and the
things you are saying about the President in order to gain favor with these
greedy, thieving, selfish, Republicans. How dare you call President Obama a
liar. You are a pathetic, obviously brainwashed black man who has lost his way
and his mind. You have had opportunity and a smattering of privilege in America that
has made you forget your roots. I despise people like you and Clarence Thomas,
and you both have Georgia roots.
What is it with you black men from the south who grow up in an oppressed environment and
end up siding with the oppressor? The recent case of Troy Davis in Georgia is an excellent example of
the present day oppression and legal lynching that still takes place in that
state and in this country. The political party that you praise so highly is
presently enacting laws to suppress the black vote, the student vote, and many
elderly voters across this entire country. Yet, you choose to stand with
people who display such obscene and un-American behavior. You would throw black
people (including the President of the U.S.) and others under the bus
to curry favor with these non-caring and hedonistic people.
You were there when your Republican cohorts cheered about the death penalty which
disproportionately affects black men and women in this country - some of whom
have been proven to be innocent. You should be ashamed to stand with these
people and yet, you appear to be proud of such an association.
Yes, President Obama does believe in fairness and sharing the responsibility of the
tax burden, it is not socialism nor is it class warfare, and he is not a liar
for saying it. That kind of rhetoric from you and those with whom you identify
is nothing more than a weak defense for the greedy and despicable philosophy
that you choose to embrace.
You had the unmitigated gall to tell Wolf Blitzer on CNN that two thirds of
African-American people are brainwashed and incapable of thinking for
themselves. You are surely touched in the head. The millions of us who are
capable of thinking for ourselves - we know who is really brainwashed - you -
brainwashed whiter than snow.
Do you really think those people with whom you stand on the debating platform really respect you
and see you as their equal? They as well as others see you as a joke and a
person who is engaging in buffoonery. A Republican majority House and Senate
would never pass your "so called" 999 plan. They would never deem it
in their best interest. Besides, there are many who believe your plan is a
coded message from Satan. If you flip the numbers they become the 666 plan.
You will never be President of this country, and I thank God for that. I must say, you
certainly live up to your last name. Just as Cain in the Bible so blatantly
slew his brother, you are equally willing to do the same politically and
economically to millions of black and middle class citizens of this country.
Such behavior is extremely ugly, and need I remind you, Mr. Cain, that God does
not like ugly.
P.S. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm having a nice day, I would tell you what I really
think about you."
