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

A lot of times that's the reason. Lack of effort from some, too many excuses. In my opinion.

It's Texas. What else do people really expect?

Herman Cain should be used to looking the other way when Republicans trot out their little throwbacks to the "good ole days" when happy d-rkies were a'singin' in the fields - surprising that he decided to play the "race card" by daring to complain about a potential Presidential candidate spending decades at camp "N----head".
