Because he speaks of black people in certain regions recieveing certain benefits. In his CNN interview he lauded empowerment zones, now opportunity zones, because they were predominately black. His words.

I am so sick of everything divided by color and it's clear he is not color blind. Go read his church website and his pastors sermon on justice and government being the equalizer for black people. Antioch Baptist Church North.

I do not believe a white candidate would talk about white people and what they deserve.

I don't like the concept of "opportunity zones" either, but like it or not, Cain and Bachmann are the only viable conservatives in the race--and with Bachmann running out of gas, Cain is our only hope.

I remember when Obama was running there were questions among some black conservatives of who they would vote for and it was very serious because some prominent black conservatives were actually on the fence (even Condoleeza Rice was defensive of Obama) Powell endorsed him over McCain. There were even pundits who were considering it.

I wonder if Herman Cain voted for Obama and if I had the opportunity in a town hall I would ask him.

I will be voting for Rick Perry. I of course know alot about him because he is my governor and I understand how he turned people off in his debates, but he's really not from Washington and I think he was shell shocked. He's not a professional speaker like Cain nor a debater like Romney but he will stand by his idea that Washington is the problem, not the solution. I have a good friend who is a State Patrol Officer who guarded Perry and knows they type of man he is. I also know Perry has fought to secure the Texas(US) Mexico border. My friend who patrols in Austin had to do time on the border as does every Sate Trooper no matter where in Texas they live.

This politic stuff is ugly but Perry will be there in the end.
