I think the rock incident is unfortunate for both Perry and Cain. Going to a hunting lodge with that name is no proof at all that Perry is a racist. He just didn't think about it. But I also see Cain's view.

His people WERE treated terribly in the past and that slur is a reminder of those days. I know it's easy to assume that he "faked" being upset about it for political reasons, but one has to consider his perspective.

I'm polish. If there was a camp named "dumb polack ranch" I might be offended. Most likely I would laugh... but I have also never been the victim of Polack hatred either. Cain is an older man. He has lived through a lot and has experienced his share of racism. That would make anyone genuinely sensitive to it.

Understood but he should have said he’d wait to get the facts. If he has instinctive emotional reactions to unsubstantiated accusatios, that’s not good in a President.
