rush limbaugh herman cain

Like this mark a$$ buster has any right to regulate who is and who isn’t “black enough” to be a black president:

Fresh off his surprise victory in the Florida Republican Party’s “Presidency 5″ straw poll, Herman Cain took a media victory lap Monday.
But one Cain cheerleader offered his support in controversial form. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Monday that if the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO were to win the Republican nomination, and then go on to be elected president, “Herman Cain could be our first authentically black president.”

One caller, “Kevin,” did “stop and think about it,” and questioned Limbaugh about the statement, producing the exchange below, from the transcript posted one the radio host’s website:

RUSH: Kevin in Oklahoma City, great to have you on the program, Kevin. Welcome.
CALLER: Hey, how you doing? I’m a first-time caller from Oklahoma City.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: You said earlier that if Herman Cain is elected that he would be the first black president. What do you mean by that?
RUSH: I said first authentically black president.
CALLER: What does that mean?
RUSH: Well, during the campaign of 2008 there were a number of liberal newspaper columnists, and even Reverend Sharpton who were challenging Barack Obama’s authenticity, that he wasn’t an authentic black because he didn’t have any family history traced to slavery, that his mother was white –
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: — father from Kenya, you know, was not really down for the struggle. But it was them who said that. Now, I’m simply bouncing off of them. I never get into debates over who’s an authentic black and who isn’t. It’s the left that does that, it’s the Democrat Party and their media that does that, but bouncing off what they said, Herman Cain would be more authentically black to me than Obama is.
CALLER: Oh. So it’s what they say and then you’re just repeating –
RUSH: Yeah, I’m just bouncing off of it.

    Rush, Al Sharpton and Tavis Smiley we heard it all before…..FAIL AGAIN ALWAYS AND FORVER. Alice and Travalina looked like 2 bit@h azz jealous H8R hosting that lame azz town hall meeting “not like us” ignorant crap flipping around waving their hands ….that meetings took away all doubt…girls. Rush is nothing but a shitz talking lard azz pervert Oxy addict that has lost his audience. Obama 2012!

  • elle

    Don’t fall for the BS. They are trying really hard to divide and conquer. Obama is Black in America and that is enough. Look at everything he has had to go through since taking office and even more so since the Republicans took control of Congress. They are trying everything they can to bring Obama down. SMH.

  • Christielove1468

    African americans,west indians and black europeans have descended from white slaveowners,native americans or any race. Herman Cain is not authentically black either, Cain is is his decendant’s slave owners last name and his family most likely have been mixed somewhere down the line also. Limbaugh always is running his fat mouth about something. White America will always view President Obama as a black man.

  • Toto

    Wtf? so since I am nigerian I am not authentic black since I am not a descendant of slaves. Rush, shut up.

  • I read

    I’m so sick of that drug addict Limbaugh. I wish the Left could have a radio equivalent.

  • think about it

    I dont agree with Rush statement but I do believe Pres. Obama would be more sympathetic to African American issues if he was a decendent of slavery and the civil rights movement. Just as African Americans are not always sympathetic or connected to Black issues abroad.

  • gina

    Here we go some “more”! Blacks abroad, begging azz folks really WHY DON’T Y’ALL TAKE CARE OF Y’ALLS BUSINESS AND KEEP WAITING ON America And Europeans to save y’all! Country wealthy land abundant and leaders live like kings…revolt do something besides rape your women! Yea, your mad now, but you spend your time talking about America African Americas and their President alleged short comings! Yes, I am not a coward its me Gina and I said it!

    How dare your shady azz say that man born to a white female by african that can to america to better himself is/was not a part of the civil rights movement. We are still trying to move FORWARD. WITH OUR LEADER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!

  • think about it

    Hey check this out Gina. you need to pump your breaks you dumb bish. I see how you try to dominate on this muh fuh. understand Dumbo that I am an African American Women from Cali not no friggin immigrant bish. I stand by what I said.

  • rigch

    This is what I been telling clowns for years his mothers white he white . There is only one type of black person and that is one who defends from slavery and had been stripped of there nationality via slavery. To the Nigerian notice you said your Nigerian which is a nationality meaning people tied to land; show me on a globe the country called black
    @gina tell me why when dna testing is done why they use madachandrial dna. A baby grows inside its mother it has its mothers blood. You don’t use your brain that’s why you can’t see your flawed thinking. Smh at you and your white president. And I hate to side with a well known racist like Limbaugh but whiteys right

  • layla

    Wow, I can’t believe this nonsense! Anyone that thinks that Obama is not sympathetic to the problems of AA is ignorant. The entire country is in a state of economic distress! That is most important. How would it look if during this time when ALL americans are suffering the Prez was focusing on blk issues? No matter what good Obama tries to do, the repubs fight him, even if it means further destruction to the US economy. Obama is very aware of the plight of blacks in this country. Perhaps you need to read about the racism and discrimination both he amd Michele faced over the years. They just don’t use it as an excuse. The problem with Americans, you can’t see beyond the individual ‘I’ to improve things for the collective ‘US’. Look at the big picture for a change.

  • layla

    Rush knows that what he meant to say is that Obama isn’t authentic because his ancestors never served the white man. There must be a history of servitude so he (Rush) could feel superior. Anyone who agrees with him is still a slave…
    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery!!!!

  • rigch

    That’s cuz the educational system is so messed up layla that white people don’t recognize the white supremacist nature that’s bred into them. Why do you call a Haitian a Haitian a jamacian a Jamaican a Kenyan a Kenyan a Sudanese a Sudanese cuz that what they are a represent. How can you represent black I mean really the color black. And AA is some bullshyt cuz we been global we was here before columbus

  • The truth

    Here before columbos? Lmao! Give me a break. It was the native americans dumb&$$. We were in africa and parts of thr middle east and italy, spain and greece. Noy america! I believe in black power but that was just ignorant! Next you gonna say a black man invented the first computer or the first pair of jeans or the pepperoni pizza! Lmao!

  • gina

    @ not thinking about it
    Ohhh Cali…yea Watts…omg….drive by! You fat cow the only thing your going to drive by is the drive thru…lol Its bad enough your on the blog begging for you and yours talking about how the government won’t help you…but dang other countries too…lol. Yes your a nicca …Obama & I are African Americans :-)

  • prissa

    First of all rigch, mitochondrial DNA has nothing to do with matriarchial or the mothers genes. MDNA has 37 genes and its own DNA. U should really research b4 spreading fallacies.

    As for limbaugh – he’s ignorant and whoever started those comments r ignorant too. I don’t remember slavery & any great-grandparents I had who actually experienced it r dead. However that in no way makes me less sensitive to the plight of my ancestors. And MY mother is white. I’m sure Obama understands OUR history – how can any American not understand, regardless of their skin color?

    The issues of slavery, racism, segregation, etc trancend color – they are crimes against humanity (in essence). Anyone with a heart & soul knows those things r wrong. And your average prejudice red neck white person sees Obama as black – trust that. Limbaugh is just trying to incite folks and reguritating what those jealous men (sharpton et al) have said about Obama. They need 2 get over it!

  • gina

    @prissa
    Get em! Thanks for the knowledge!

  • ChicaChe

    I’m Cuban & American Indian and I still consider myself black!

  • team nymphis

    y’all should prolly leave gina alone

  • G

    All I said was that drive thru shyt gina said was funny! Learn 2 read u big baby! I dont need 2 gang wit nobody.

  • G

    AA is just that AA. Meaning ANYONE who holds U.S. citizenship with african ancestory. Example: A Nigerian with U.S. citizenship could b called AA or Nigerian American. Both r correct. Blacks who r the decendants of slaves r called AA becavse their specific country of origin is unknown. That’s why we refer to the whole continent.

  • team nymphis

    g

    Why can’t we just be black? Yt always tries to give us some kind of sub-level title.you don’t hear them callin themselves german-american or Irish-American or European American. So fck titles…be black and forever proud.

  • G

    FYI: There were free ‘blacks’ here b4 slavery. Free ‘black’ men sailed 2 America with Columbus. That’s a fact u can lookup.

  • team nymphis

    g
    Wgaf when and how we got here.fact is…we’re here and slavery can still exist in our thoughts and behaviors,so live your life in a manner that would make those that came before proud and the ones too come after full of promise and limitless intuition.

  • G

    AA is not a silly sub-title it is a way 2 expess who u r as a whole. Yes my motherland is Africa. My ancestors were put into ships then forced 2 the US. They also helped 2 build This country from the ground up. Then they put their lives on the line 2 get the equal rights we enjoy 2day. MLK & others did not do it all alone. There were a lot of nameless freedom fighters with them. I U We AA’s r just as much a part of this country as any other race. That is something 2 b proud of!! I know who I am

  • G

    That’s the problem with people like u. U don’t want 2 know ur own history but r the 1st 2 holla how proud u r! Proud of what? Uh u don’t know? If u want 2 hide something from a ‘black’ man put it in a book!

  • team nymphis

    g

    I’m really happy that you are so versed on the intricasies of black nationalism.perhaps you could hold a slave workshop on the weekends? But the fact is that yt folks came up wit the term African American.when people ask me what I am, I don’t say African American.black more aptly describes who and what I consider myself to be.

  • team nymphis

    g
    I’m probably smarter than most of the people you look up to.and you comin at me wit this low-grade black history garbage that anybody with 1/3 brain capacity could recite.stop acting like you’re revealing some once lost deep knowledge.you sound like you just finished watching the Time Life cd collection “blacks in America volume 3.

  • gina

    @G

    Deep apologies extended. Yea, I miss the mark. You quoted and that nicca bish thought it was funny like you were with that! Generally if we like something we included cosign….apologies extended. 500 bloggers can disagree and when I post some guilty tart wants to beef. Yea its crude, but specific hoes need a pimp slap. I BELIEVE IN LIVE AND LET LIVE.

    I have travel a bit with my parents and in a former mini career. We carried our earned esteem status as African Americans proudly and had to check some folks..ok. President Obama truly knows who he is and embraced his status as an African American president, citizen, husband and father with love, dignity and no shame. HE NEVER SHINS OR GRINS….check him out! He graciously declined to participate in ignorant race and gender baiting games with true finesse.

    I take issue with the antics used to try and have him impeached. President Obama is the Commander and Chief of the United States of America…not the world Not GOD! It’s a job that we support him in. He continues to do everything in his power to keep his promises….and like any job you don’t really get the magnitude of the BS till your in it. He has spent the past 3 years horning his skill and getting rid of traitors and back bitters. Re-elected him and he will make America better than for everyone. Racism in America is bad..ok travel and you will kiss the soil when you return.

  • Shellie

    When Jesus brings something full circle he does it the right way. No way was our first black president going to have any slave blood , nope…pure virgin blood from the mother land…no slavery tainted blood. we got the first black POTUS the same way as you.got slaves from the seed from the mother land.

  • G

    In the dictionary black is mal & evil. Black is an insult. Its a psychosocial game piece. U just brought the hype.

  • G

    The names Africa & America were created by whites if u really wanna take it there

  • G

    Nymphis Stop cummin @ me wit yo Im soo angry @ the man BS. I’ll have yo unlearnt azz readin Roots 4 a week.

  • team nymphis

    G must be for goofy

    I got too much goin for me to be angry at “the man” or whomever.if you check your local listings I think their showing “how blacks arrived in America by Glenn beck. After you watch that please educate us further.

  • G

    Glen Beck is a nut job. Next he’ll b calling himself Jesus.

  • G

    PS Glen Beck love Blacks like u!

  • team nymphis

    G
    Have a good night and remember to stay African American and proud

  • team nymphis

    and Glenn beck actually hates blacks like me…self made and needs nothin from them.he actually likes blacks like you who depend on them for your day to day

  • G

    B black & proud. It’ ur right. The U.S. is not perfect but i dont want 2 live anywhere else!

  • team nymphis

    most blacks that say they wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else, usually haven’t been anywhere else.

  • G

    I have been around enough 2 know that racism is eveywhere. If u don’t like something change it. I work 4 myself & make good money doing so. I dont need the gov 2 take care of me.

  • G

    I dont allow racist 2 define me. This my country just as much as anybody else. Try looking up US history that does not include Blacks. U wont get far.

  • G

    It’s funny how or great grand parents fought & died 2 end segregation. Now we choose 2 seperate ourselves. Why? because some bigots dont like us?

  • team nymphid

    if you call yourself African American then you are letting racist define you.and I’m glad that you work for yourself.I admire that.more people should do it as well.we see things differently,and that’s cool.but I don’t let racism determine my status in life either.I’ve just lived and visited other places that are suitable for me to live in.not saying that they are better or worse than here.just that I could live there.

  • G

    AA ?BLACKS? Whatever we choose 2 call ourselves. We dont speak with 1 voice or always have the same opinion. We all dont share the same history.

  • team nymphis

    g
    I don’t seperate myself from blacks.quite the contrary.I spend my time trying to empower our people however I can.bigots don’t bother me.I know who I am,so others opinions don’t bother me.I’m doing extremely well in life and that exposes me to the more subtle & inveterate forms of discrimination. on my own time I choose to be with my own kind so I don’t deal with it as much

  • sideshowbob

    Let’s pray for Rush.His head is stuck up his backside and he cannot see reality.He has to broadcast his ignorance to make a living,such a shame.

  • jag

    Why do whites get to be American, when they are actually europeans? Why aren’t they Euro-American? Why are we always considered african when we have no cultural links to any part of the vast continent known as africa?
    I prefer to be known as black…

  • gina

    Nymphis bro you know the deal on being black in America and you know we kin. As the delivery was made enroute to American my great great great grandfather/mother and yours were dropped of at the various plantations, etc. Yours went to the an island and mine to Galvaston island, Tx and the journey began up the Mississippi river to various points north.

    It’s crazzy funny to watch my father and his brother jock each other ..lol. Uncle says he is a black American denying all mixed heritage. And my Dad says he is African American and acknowledges his mixed race blood. Ok, if you want a war of words mention their light skin, hair texture or eye color. And prepare for the history lesson relative to why they accept black and african american only! Enlightened, loving and forgiving black men/ women in America proudly acknowledge their African heritage we are not mad about it or ashamed of it. WE HAVE PROVED and continue to prove OURSELVES TO BE THE MOST BRAVE AND NOBLE PEOPLE ON EARTH against all odds…..you are part of struggle too :-) . YOUR are AMERICAN (born or naturalized) YOUR BLACK AND OF AFRICAN DECENT. You are a black African American bro ……:-) Obama 2012.

  • Slave Blood proud

    ”we have no cultural links to any part of the vast continent known as Africa” . . . say what ? That statement is borderline ignorant on sooo many levels. Many of the ways blacks do things from the arts to food preparation to style to worship etc, are influenced by historical links to the African continent.
