I would suggest that folks listen to what Herman Cain actually said. He was very wise to say what he said. Had he remained completely silent on the issue, it would have been devastating in the Black & other minority communities. Mr. Cain knows the issue will disappear in a few days and it will certainly not hurt Rick Perry because for any objective person of any color, Black or White, this is a non-starter, other then for the left-wing idiots!!! Herman Cain, should he ever get the Pubbie nomination for POTUS wants to win as the man for all seasons, with Whites, Blacks, Hispanics and all other minorities substantially supporting his trek to POTUS. For Mr. Cain to remain totally silent, would have tarred him with the usual Black racist rants, that he is nothing but a White man’s Uncle Tom!!! Some of you folks need to engage the brain before you pull out the shotgun!!!
Sorry, but... what a load.
It would have been wise for him to note that often Washington Post articles are written to put Republicans in the worst possible light and that we would listen to Perry’s side of the story before he commented.
To you and all the other apologists for Herman Cain. Bull! NO ONE on this site that knows my posting history can accuse me in any possible way, that can be believed, that I am a racist. So here goes. This coddling of a black man, excusing him from any bad motives for doing this, or understanding why he "had to do it" is insulting to other black people who don't resort to this race-baiting crap to win. What is that, affirmative action for black politicians -- what, they need an edge? Good grief how condescending can you be? You think they need a crutch, a head start? It's insulting to make this accommodation for black people as if they must be allowed these "lapses" of character, decorum and fair-play. I refuse to play that game. I expect people to live with honor and respect.
