You are so funny. Do you imagine that I didn't watch the interview? I also spent about 40 years working cheek and jowl with black men and women and I know very well how they speak and how they deal with the "N Word" question when it comes up.

Cain did exactly what he had to do as a black man to avoid being identified as an Uncle Tom (and thereby finding himself with fewer black votes than John McCain).

The truth here is far different than you imagine. it's not really about Perry ~ it was a scripted event where MSM folks tried to make Cain betray himself by admitting to Uncle Tom tendencies. He didn't.

It's like that scripted event where the Congressional Black Caucus crossed the Capitol Lawn taunting the TEA Party people gathered there. They tried to get them to use the "N word" ~ which no one did according to THOUSANDS of video recordings of the event.

The black staff aid who came up with that one sent out the story about half an hour before it happened to every Leftwingtard blogger and news source in the country.

Obama and his running dog lackeys think one of the white candidates could beat him, but they fear Cain ~ as a black man who could not only beat him but break the Democrat party in pieces.

You managed to step on your own crank with that 16,000 students bit. That’s a fairsized college these days ~ you could probably do it far cheaper by setting it up in Mexico ~ call it the Tejas Universidad ~ and send all the illegal aliens to it FREE OF CHARGE.

Some of them are Democrats who only post on FR in the lead up to the general elections.

Do not be deceived ~

Exactly.

This is what the Washington Post stated:
“But the name of this particular parcel did not change for years after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a state official and finally as Texas governor. Some locals still call it that. As recently as this summer, the slablike rock — lying flat, the name still faintly visible beneath a coat of white paint — remained by the gated entrance to the camp.”

Cain had every reason to believe the story was true, especially the way Chris Wallace stated the story. If the story is true it is definitely insensitive on Perry's part. If Washington Post is making up part of the story, it will come out eventually. Perhaps Cain should have said “If the story is true, it was insensitive”. Sometimes we forget how much the media makes up or attributes to anonymous sources. My first reaction was it was insensitive too, but it could be just a lie.

Cain had two interviews.

Here is the link to the interview with Christiane Amapour.
http://www.breitbart.tv/cain-calls-perry-hunting-camp-former-name-racially-insensitive/

Here is the link to the interview with Chris Wallace:http://video.foxnews.com/

Here is the link to the original Washington Post article:http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/rick-perry-familys-hunting-camp-still-known-to-many-by-old-racially-charged-name/2011/10/01/gIQAOhY5DL_story.html

If one reads the article and listens to both interviews, one can reasonably conclude that Cain was aware of the article and choose to ignore Perry's statements within the article.

To me that was race baiting and I find it offensive.

He has too be one ignorant twit or an arrogant SOB to be holding public office and even coming close to anything with that name in it.

Hey you Perry supporters can try to apologize for him all you want. If he wasn't toast before, this may seal the deal.

He deserves all the scorn he gets on this one just for being so stupid.

"Here is the interview where Cain used the race card"

Look, Rick Perry has every right to get his side of the story out here and he very much should.

But for the PerryBots to claim that Herman Cain played the race card is extremely hypocritical.

This man, Rick Perry, looked his conservative base in the eyes and told us that if we didn't agree with his policy of benefits for illegal foreign citizens it was because WE DIDN'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THEIR LAST NAME.

Hypocrite player of the race card, heal thyself.

We know almost certainly the Posties didn't visit the site so no one knows if there's a gated entrance. If they had visited the site they'd been upset about Squaw River Lake in the area ~

The rest of the Post story is pretty obviously not well sourced.

What is “insensitive”?

Perry didn’t own the farm and as soon as his dad saw the name it was painted over. That should have been the part Cain pointed out, not some name given to some land.

I here more “N” words coming from Rap Artist than was probably ever said for the past 200 years.

Probably not. It's more likely he did the interviews back to back, and he may well have done the Amanpour interview FIRST. Thanks to the magic of video recording technology we are often deceived in these matters.

We need the times on the tapes!

If the Amanpour interview and the Wallace interview took place within minutes of each other, in reverse order, it's pretty clear Cain clarified his response with Wallace.

The point was, as usual, to attack the "n-word". That's what every smart black man does when asked his opinion on the matter.

I think we don't know enough about this situation to answer all the questions or make all the charges. But one thing I think is certain ~ THE Washington Post did not do the research!

You would think painting over the offensive name would be a GOOD thing. So confusing...

Why is it you keep arguing that I probably didn't see both interviews? Certainly you've been around here long enough to know that I watch these things.

That's so some responsible adult remains abreast of events while the chilluns GO TO CHURCH.

Even getting technical about this BS issue, Perry's father violated the law by painting over someone else’s sign. He didn't own the land and he didn't own the rock.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger

Place names

The word nigger features in official place-names, such as “Nigger Bill Canyon”, “Nigger Hollow”, and “Niggertown Marsh”. In 1967, the United States Board on Geographic Names changed the word nigger to Negro in 143 place names. First changed to “Negrohead Mountain”, a peak above Santa Monica, California was renamed on (February 2010) to Ballard Mountain in honor of John Ballard, a black pioneer who settled the area in the 19th Century. “Nigger Head Mountain”, at Burnet, Texas, was so named because the forest atop it resembled a black man's hair. In 1966, the US First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, denounced the racist name, asking the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the U.S. Forest Service to rename it, becoming “Colored Mountain” in 1968; and in West Texas, “Dead Nigger Creek” was renamed “Dead Negro Draw”.[63] “Nigger Nate Grade”, near Temecula, California, named for Nate Harrison, an ex-slave and settler, was renamed “Nathan Harrison Grade Road” in 1955, at the request of the NAACP.[64][65][66][67][68]

In northwestern North America, particularly in Canada and the US, there are places which feature many uses of the word nigger.[69][70][71][72] At Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, “Niggertoe Mountain” was renamed Mount Nkwala. The place-name derived from a 1908 Christmas story about three black men who died in a blizzard; the next day, the bodies of two were found at the foot of the mountain.[73] A point on the Lower Mississippi River, in West Baton Rouge Parish, named “Free Nigger Point” until the late twentieth century, first was renamed “Free Negro Point”, but currently is named “Wilkinson Point”.[74] “Nigger Head Rock”, protruding from a cliff above Highway 421, north of Pennington Gap, Virginia, was renamed “Great Stone Face” in the 1970s.

What Cain said is true. He carefully said it was insensitive, not racist, and that’s the truth! People would have said worse had Bill Clinton owned it! Right?

Please EXAMINE YOURSELVES!
