Therein lies the deep and dark crux of your problem. I will vote for Cain precisely because he isn't a career politician, he is a remarkably brilliant, self-made successful businessman specializing in turnaround strategies. Herman Cain is an excellent communicator. The color of Mr. Cain's skin is not part of the decision matrix.
There is nothing deep and dark about what I posted, and I have no problem. You quoted what I said apparently without understanding it. I believe you saw "racism" where there was nothing but truth.
As a reminder, here's what I posted:
Seems to me there are plenty of people on the Right who want to prove they aren’t racists by supporting Cain. So his rise is because he’s black and for no other reason.
The operative word is PLENTY. Not all, but plenty. And the operative action is "want to prove." That's the truth. There are many people on the Right who are just as eager, if not more so, to prove they aren't racists. So they flock to someone like Herman Cain. Many of them are the same people who rabidly supported the seriously flawed Sarah Palin, so I question their judgement right off the bat.
As for Cain, is he really what he presents himself to be politically, or is he a Trojan horse? Time will tell. But I jump on NO bandwagon. I take my time in making decisions about who I'll support in elections, because not all, but most politicians aren't -- to borrow an old phrase -- worth a warm bucket of spit.
