Conservative activist Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani, chairman of the right wing blog RagingElephants.com, called the Democrats a racist party of the Ku Klux Klan at a Houston rally.
“They’re the racists, not us,” he said alluding to the Democratic party’s past affiliation with Jim Crow and segregation.

Cain took the stage after Kamau-Imani and has not condoned or condemned Kamau-Imani’s comments.
“Our campaign is all about promoting civil dialogue — while there may be differences of opinion on a wide variety of topics, we believe in never being disagreeable,” Cain’s spokesman told NBC News.
Kamau-Imani continued with his comments, name-calling prominent individuals.
“Somebody needs to get in Al ‘Shakedown’ Sharpton’s face and call him a liar. Somebody needs to get in Cornel West’s face and call him a bald face gap tooth liar.”
And that’s not all.
“Somebody needs to get in front of Jesse ‘Castration’ Jackson and call him a liar.”
Cain was not on stage while Claver was speaking and his spokesman said he does not think the presidential hopeful was aware of Kamau-Imani’s contentious remarks.
Other Tea Partiers spoke at the event as Cain autographed copies of his newly-released memoir, This is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House.
