Two points. The Republicans fought against slavery and Jim Crow and southern DEMOCRAT oppression of blacks for a hundred years. Did that end the race issue? Hell, no. The Democrats and their prostitute press just lied about it, until most people forgot history.

Second, I am NOT voting for or against anyone on account of race, or sex, or anything of that kind. I don’t care WHAT race or sex. I’m voting for them because they are the best candidate. Or I’m voting against them because they are the worst candidate.

I know this is well meant, but I’m really bothered by it. Herman Cain stands and falls on his own merits.

Sure, the Democrats play the race card, lying their heads off about it as they do so. I don’t think we need to get sucked into that game.

I agree.

I sorta like Herman Cain's merits.

Agreed.
I don’t consider it my job to prove I’m not racist.
Rabid allegations by brainless liberals don’t merit wasting time arguing with them.
I hope Cain continues to do well.

Well, if Cain did get nominated, yes indeed, the Democrats would scream like maniacs. But you seem to concede their point, that Cain is an Uncle Tom. fact is, though, that Cain is ore able to repeal their attacks than Thomas was or is. He is not married to a white woman. And more, he has already SAID that he is willing to point a finger at Obama and remind us how much of an Oreo Obama really is. That said, Yes, Cain still has to win this on his own merits, and he is still fighting and uphill battle against the Establishment’s efforts to cram Mr. Status Quo down our throats. Cain is the closest thing were are going to get to an anti-establishment figure. Paul might have a chance if he weren’t so old. Believe me: men his age don’t have the stamina to be president. Reagan was on his last legs that last two years in office.

Agreed, and I can give a number of reasons I support Cain. I like 999 (I know its not perfect, but it takes us in the right direction). He seems like the candidate most likely to veto gratuitous appropriations (although I doubt he would be as hardline on spending as I would like). I have the impression that Romney and Perry would both enjoy more pork barrel spending as long as they had a say in who gets it. Clarence Thomas is his favorite Justice and mine too.

That being said, there is a certain amount of schadenfreude in seeing Herman Cain nominated.
