“Race” for the White House

Posted on | October 10, 2011 | 1 Comment

If you want proof of the racism inherent in the Leftie media, just watch any of the interviews they have done with Herman Cain.

This man is running for the highest office in the land, he has a long resume of production & success, he is spelling out a specific plan to fix the economy*, he is consistently polling at or near the top of a crowded field…

And the only thing the “news” anchors care to ask him about is the color of his skin, or whether he is a traitor to others who share his skin tone.**

I said before that Obama was the antithesis of Martin Luther King Jr’s dream; he was judged only by the color of his skin, any attempt to suss out the content of his character was soundly rejected. (Which Obama and his supporters encouraged, screaming racism at any question of his experience or competence)

Herman Cain is withstanding a great deal of actual racism in his bid for the presidency, other than taking the bait re: Perry’s lodge, he has done a good job of bringing the subject back to what really makes him tick – and it isn’t his skin tone.

How about we treat skin color as we would hair color or height; a distinguishing feature, sure, but one which has no bearing whatsoever on how a person thinks or feels. Lets judge the individual on his merits, not his melanin.

This is something true Conservatives already know.

* Whether Cain’s 9-9-9 plan is the right plan is not germane to my point.

** Don’t even get me started on the “celebrities” who say he is not really black because of his success & beliefs, or that any Republican who supports him does so because they are racist

    Let’s see, you have an experienced, self-made, successful business executive, and cancer survivor on one side.

    On the other, POTUS who has no business experience, 2 years in the US Senate, associates with left-wing radicals, ran with corrupt businessmen and pols in Chicago, and has hidden his college transcripts and medical records.

    I think Herman Cain has more character in his index finger than Hussein the Wise.
