I missed that. What did he say? I've heard him address racial questions in the past and his answers have always been honest, sincere and conservative...
Cain went after Perry for being a racist on one of the Sunday shows because of a rock at some hunting cabin 30 years ago.
Here is something on the topic.

Wallace Interview:
Wallace: I want to ask you, there was a troubling story on the post today, about Rick Perry, The Governor of Texas and it indicates for years his family had a hunting camp in West Texas. And the name of it, written on a stone, was “N”- head, but obviously it wasn’t just “N” head.
Cain: Right
Wallace: And he was part of that camp, even as Governor. Your reaction.
Cain: My reaction is, that’s just very insenstive. There isn’t a more vile, negative word than the “N” word, and for him to leave it there as long as he did, before, I hear, they finally painted over it, it’s just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country.
Then the interview went on about 9-9-9
Based on that Perry supporters are comparing Cain to Al Sharpton and worse.
