For years, Rick Perry's family leased a cabin on a hunting ranch near Fort Worth known as "N*****head". The offensive name was written in large block letters on a big flat rock at the west entrance to the ranch.
Although the name has been white-washed over, the rock is still there, and the letters are still visible, says the WaPo.
Herman Cain says he's offended. WTF? I didn't know black conservatives would play the "victim" card. I thought it was the black conservative position that there IS no racism in the US. If a black man doesn't prosper in the US today, it's because he's lazy or brainwashed, right
Im not even going to bother looking through most of this thread, as I am sure Id see what Id expect from the typical liberal posters on this forum.
I will say this though..... Herman Cain, who I very much like, shouldve known better than to fall for this and jump up with a comment before looking in to it. Im not much of a Perry fan but we all know that isnt what he called his camp, nor did he have any part in it as it was done years ago. Cain shouldve looked into this first. You have to remember, you can not jump on something you see in the media without looking in to it. News media today is irresponsible and are absolutely horrible at what they do. They are as biased as you can get and can not be trusted.
Herman Cain was the first one to make an issue out of it!
Nonsense! He didn't make an issue of it. He responded to a question raised by the stupid Washington Post who were making an issue of it. Beware your own damn press 'cause if there isn't anything contentious happening they'll look for something 'under the damn rock' and stick it in the face of a candidate for his opinion; if he's naive enough to bite: He then owns it.

If it wasn't an issue to Cain, he wouldn't have called it highly insensitive, offensive, etc. He would have said, "That's not an important issue. I have no comment." He did the opposite.
It's unfortunate how this backfired on Herman Cain. I guess he forgot he was guilty of being a black man in the Republican party. I guess the way the GOP has it planned out, if he wants to have a decent showing in the primaries he needs to keep playing the pet negro role by insulting his own race and insist the prejudice evident in the Tea Party/GOP is just fabric of everyone's imagination.

By most accounts, Cain is now ahead of Perry in the polling. So I fail to see exactly how this backfired.

I don't know where you get the idea it backfired on Cain? The only mistake Cain made was not checking for the details before his remarks. I am not sure if this was truely Cain's fault or his staff fault for not getting the entire story.
To the tea party yes his family played the race card same for the man who was recently ran over and killed for being black. race card players.
