I suspect when it comes to black men the libs totally buy into the trope that all black men are sexually rapacious. So the minute a black man announced for the presidency I think they all ran to their play stations.
Actually, there have been rumors on the internet about Perry and women - not that I believe them - but I notice the press hasn’t run big time with these stories. But maybe that’s because he’s so low in the polls...
There’ve also been rumors about Perry and men (not that I believe them either).
We sound as bad as liberals here, making it about race. Do you remember how Newt was absolutely demonized, presented as the devil incarnate, before and after the 2004 election?
As to the idea that liberals think black men are sexually rapacious, I suspect that particular bias is no greater on their side than on our side.
But again, there are concrete reportable circumstances here with Cain: the NRA paid settlements involving sexual harassment charges. Those charges could be flimsy or false, I really don’t know, but the payments were made.
The media have been unfair per usual blowing this all completely out of proportion compared especially to the nonreporting they’ve done (or not done) re: Obama. That is very much true.
But playing up a race angle, just because we *know* that they have such biases, is no more acceptable IMO on our side than on their side.
(The Thomas issue was different, there they pulled out of nowhere someone who had not only not filed any complaints at the time, but had subsequently followed him from job to job. It was much more reasonable then to point out the black stereotype they were playing into when they chose to create that controversy out of nothing.)
