Roland Martin kicks Herman Cain's ASS!!

[BlueDemKev]

Awesome article rebutting Cain's B.S. assertion that black voters have been "brainwashed" into voting Democratic. Martin gives a factual history of how and why blacks went from being Republican supporters to Democratic voters. The key culprit....you guessed it: THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.
