If Herman Cain was white, there is no way he could get away with the things he says about african americans. I personally believe if he was white he would not be in 2nd place to win the republican nomination saying things like, "A.A. have been brainwashed into not being open minded" and when asked about confederate flag bumper stickers he says, Southern “rednecks” care less about the color of his skin, and are thus less bigoted, than certain liberal members of the black community.
what do you think?

Here's how Cain is useful to the Tea Party/GOP right now.

They have him as a candidate...so they can puff their chest up and claim how unracist they are.

Then when it comes down to voting ...he will lose in a landslide...when they are forced to put their choice on a ballot that matters.

The GOP base will never vote for a black. They are hard wired not to do that.

I think that because the guy is in 2nd place. There is no way a A.A. would be in 2nd place saying the things Hermain Cain is saying.

Sounds like you're playing the white man's tiniest violin again.

Get over it, those who are from the same group usually receive more lienency than 'outsiders' do.

Irish can critisize the Irish, Jews can critisize Jews and Catholics can critisize the Catholic Church with immunity.

Besides Herman Cain has faced A LOT of racism from left winged AA's. Herman Cain is subject to more racism from his own then he is from outside his own for speaking on his opinions. I have heard more Obama supporting AA's refer to him as "sell out" "Uncle TOm etc" and OTHER racial epithets that whites would dare not use (publicly) today.

Of course not - if white people were saying it others would focus not on the content of what was said but the motive behind it - RACISM - and use that to disregard the content. They can't do that with a Black man so they actually have to deal with the content itself.

You are a very sad man.

If there was a white democrat versus black republican for president then you know republicans will still vote for a republican regardless of the color.

Any threat to Obama's presidency must be met with baseless accusations of racism even if his competitor is a black man.
