My wife and I heard two old black men at The Old Country Buffet talking about it and they were very worked up. They considered it an assault on all black men.

That's a good point to bring up. Not too long ago, all a white woman had to do was allege molestation or worse and point the finger at a black person and he was automatically guilty. There are cases, I think 60-80 years ago, where a black man would be lynched just on an unproven say-so by a white woman who may have been up to no good with a boyfriend or married man and found it convenient to blame a black man.

Blacks have a long memory as far as oppression in slavery and segregation go and it certainly fits that an unsubstantiated charge by a white woman, especially a charge as graphic as Bialek made, would cause anger among the black male population. It may take a charge like that to get some blacks thinking that maybe they ought change their perception of a successful black Republican.

The Emmett Till case. He whistled at a white woman, she ran to her redneck hubbie, and a hideous chain of events was set in motion.

You know, these sorts of comments are very affirming for conservatives and very damning for the racist RATS.

Out of all I read and heard on this issue on Free Republic and many, many other news sources, the only racist remarks that I heard came from the RATS bashing Cain, conservatives who support Cain, or both. It was VERY clear when a conservative was speaking about versus a RAT.
