Using the word “insensitive” about using the “N” word is just a ploy to try to paint Herman Cain as using the race card.
In my opinion this is being blown out of proportion, and again, IMO it is only being used by those who want to use the race card to eliminate Herman Cain from the race.
I suspect that anyone saying they were offended by Mr. Cain's comment weren't interested in Mr. Cain becoming the POTUS in the first place.
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 is the one who pretended to be offended.
