Black Entertainment Television to air exclusive Herman Cain documentary

{mosads}In a documentary titled “The Curious Case of Citizen Cain,” Cain will discuss what he calls the “scams perpetrated on blacks” by liberal black leaders, his unique brand of black conservatism, and the sex scandals that ultimately sunk his campaign.

After a surprising and sustained rise in the polls, Cain faded amid increased scrutiny of his “9-9-9” tax plan, foreign policy missteps, and allegations of sexual harassment and marital infidelity.

Cain vehemently denied the allegations of sexual misconduct, calling them a conspiracy to smear him because of his unexpected rise in the polls.

On Saturday, Cain suspended his campaign, saying he wanted to protect his family from the media scrutiny.

“BET News retraces his unconventional rise to the top of the GOP presidential field, and his dramatic political descent,” the network said in a press release.

In addition to covering Cain’s campaign, the BET documentary will look at the social forces surrounding the candidate.

“BET News takes a look at Cain, a black man, who admits to avoiding the Civil Rights Movement, attacks the methods and motives of Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond, and Joseph Lowry, and openly embraces the Tea Party,” the release said. “The special also focuses on Cain deeply exploring his own black experience and how it has shaped him over time, from emerging out of nowhere to becoming the first black candidate in American political history to lead a Republican presidential field.”

“The Curious Case of Citizen Cain” will air Thursday Dec. 8 at 9 p.m. EST, and is hosted by Emmy-award winning journalist Emmett Miller.
