Be honest now. You think he’d be a “good candidate” because he’s a black guy. Right?

“Look! We have one too!’

I’m not anti black. I just find it kind of “transparent” when we do things like this.

Racism is still racism, whether it’s for or against.

Well, if he can handle the job, and if he wants the job, and if he can get the votes....

then his skin color would be a definite plus, because IT WOULD TAKE RACE OUT OF THE RACE.

I certainly understand your point, but this is not a time to be persnickety. We need every weapon we can find, and I don’t mind using melanin.

I find it particular that this argument is used against Herman Cain but not the considerable number of conservative Black candidates that are running for Congress Couldn't it be said the same for them? 'Gee Wiz' look at all the Black congressional candidates we are supporting!

Nope. He would be great if he were white, too.

You need to follow his show, and join his group for updates.
It doesn’t have anything to do with him being black. It has everything to do with him being a business success and way more conservative than the average ‘Pubbie.

Well, I am against racism. I am also against jerks like you thinking he can read everyone's mind. I couldn't care less that Cain is black. What I like is his love of America and his excellent business record. We neeed more people like Herman Cain and less like YOU, "pestimist."

Racism is still racism, whether it’s for or against.

The only one noticing his skin color here is you. If you want to see the racist on this thread, look in a mirror.
