Herman Cain is a pawn of the 1%.

[Avalux]

It's quite intersting how Mr. Cain has decided to share his bizarro world view of race in this country; especially at this time of upheaval.

We all know there's a slim chance in hell he'd ever be elected President. So let's consider why he's taking the stance he is, and what it means to the overall big picture. He's definitely getting press for his statements and in the space of one day, declared that OWS is dangerous and that racial inequality does not exist.

Mr. Cain belongs to the 1% and is doing their bidding. His arrogance and disgusting rhetoric tells us he's unapologetic that he "got his" and believes if others can't, they're worthless. Of course a movement like OWS is threatening to him; threatening to the system that has enabled him to amass wealth and not feel obligated to help those struggling to eat.

If Mr. Cain can make a big enough stink about race and can keep his controversial views in the headlines, he may succeed in distracting the country; and as he and his puppeteers hope - by making the national discussion about race and not economic injustice.

Mr. Cain is just one of many pawns given marching orders. They will try to squash the OWS movement by dividing the 99% by race, age...whatever they can do. We must not let it happen.

In the big picture and the vision we want for this country, Herman Cain is as insignificant as a gnat. We must remember that and not allow him to gain power through hatespeak; we must not give his credibility by spending time discussing the outrageous statements he makes.

Stay focused. Stay strong.

1. The RepubliCONS willingly embrace any black person who

willingly degrades his own race.

As he trashes the poor and minorities his popularity among RepubliCONS goes up. That's his job, to trash minorities and tell everyone to just suck it up.

2. we're not racists they say as they point at Cain...

black guys say the same thing about black guys!

3. Almost all politicians are tools of the 1%.

The only person in Congress right now that isn't a tool is Sanders.

4. Oh, he certainly is. And he's too stupid to get that.
