Do African Americans Have Any Vested Interests In US?

Read up on Herman Cain [1], former chairman of Godfather's Pizza, a Conservative and a Black from a humble beginning. [2] I saw him speak on television. Marvelous. He hinted that he might be interested in running for POTUS in 2012. Interesting. I'm not sure that I would end up voting for him, but it wouldn't be the first Black Conservative that I supported for POTUS.

I'm sure that he feels that he has a vested interest in America.

"Look at the college and prison demographics."? Look as well at the illiteracy and drop out demographics. Look at the crime demographics. It's time that Americans stopped blaming others for their own shortcomings. If you fail, it because you are lacking something. Perhaps it's intelligence, commitment or effort. But, as Shakespeare has Cassius say, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141)

did no longer look to concern the democrats whilst ACORN, Code purple, George Soros, NOW, all presented funds to them, or whilst China gave the Clinton's 25 million, now it particularly is a concern, seems each and every time the Republicans play ball like the Democrats choose, the Democrats choose to alter the regulations lower back.

African americans are the best educated, wealthiest, most influential group of blacks in the world.

If you think you can do better somewhere else, have at it. No one will be hanging on to your pants leg.

Yes. Many African Americans have an American heritage just the same as European Americans, Mexican Americans, Chinese Americans etc...

That you have the gall to ask that offends me to the core. You have any idea how many African Americans have died for your freedoms?

Just like every soldier, he has a duty and the sense of responsibility to protect his home, the people he cares about, and the children of tomorrow.

black people are 12% of the population, but 18% of the military (meaning a black person is more likely to join than a white person). obviously they found something to protect

Lower-case letters?

African America?

I think their main interest would be that they live there.

What a dumb question.

How about their lives, jobs, health, freedom, liberty, rights?

You have something against people who are citizens and just happen to have black skin?

They helped build this country. They helped make it what it is, so of course they do.
