    To think, the last great performance he enjoyed was Trump drinking a glass of water and a 10 minute talk on walking down a ramp.

    While I am sure (hopeful) that there are selfless things that Herman Cain did in life that I am not aware of, I am having trouble mustering up sympathy for someone who spent the last several months of his life calling Covid-19 a hoax, pushing conspiracy theories and mocking people and scientists who promoting mask wearing, social distancing, and avoiding large indoor gatherings.

    Nobody will ever know if attending the rally or if he had worn a mask would have prevented his death. NOBODY.

    If a person flew to Wuhan in January, then came home and tested positive 9 days later, what would be your guess?

    Anyone who I don't really remember what they specifically look like looks the same. An amorphous blob.

    I was mistaken. I admit it.

    I am so sick and sad to hear this news. He was an inspiration to all other Americans and should have been THE model that Black Americans, especially, should have admired. Cain showed everyone that a Black man can succeed and that he did succeed -- precisely by using his mind, his energy, and his willingness to adopt a plan and make it work! Unfortunately he got next to NO traction with other American Blacks, who have consistently shown that they prefer the Democrat 'plantation' of handout welfare and 'free stuff'....

    His "9-9-9" plan for helping the economy was a very innovative idea, worthy of much more attention than it was ever given by anyone, White or Black.

    It's ironic -- if any contemporary American Black politician should have be honored by being 'lain-in-state' in the U. S. Capitol it should be an America-LOVING man like Herman Cain. What a terrible loss....

    Yeah, because selling pizzas is so much more important than fighting for your people’s civil rights.
    Herman Caín got his chance to succeed because of the work of people like Lewis did to fight for his right to live in freedom and dignity.
    Too bad he lost the plot and started sucking at trump’s teat. He paid for that mistake with his life.

    Projection, you don't know that. It's worth a raise though.

    Exactly.

    RIP Herman Cain.

    What a Horrific "Decision" by Trump (to even have the Tulsa Rally).

    Talk about "misguided". Wow. :smh:

    I wonder if he wore a mask and practiced safe social distancing if he would have been alive today; either way may he RIP.

    Was it anti science when you wanted to wear a mask when the WHO said do not where a mask? Everything we've been told about this virus has been politicized and has contradicted at one point or another.

    Have you ever heard of the scientific method? You should look it up if you haven’t.
    It is how virtually all medical and scientific processes come to be.

    The only people that have politicized this, in any nation, are low information conservative groups.
