The N word is not cool in the modern world.

That being said, Gov. Perry did not use it, did not paint it on the rock, and in fact appears to have taken steps to remove it from being visible.

I am still not a Perry supporter but there are some really, really cheap shots being taken at him now. I can understand how Cain would be offended by the N word but he did not know enough about this situation to comment when he did.

Herman Cain never said that Perry said it. What he said was that the name on the rock was insensitive and he never addressed it to Rick Perry.

No it isn't. But I have work acquaintances who try to make so-called jokes using the word. Because I am older and white they might think it humorous. I gently let them know its not appropriate and they keep it to themselves now. Unfortunate that that way of thinking is still with us.

Well said.
