I think the opinions of Cain and his detractors have remained constant before and after any statements he/they made, they're just hitting the airwaves with his rise in the polls.

Do you think these statements he made are acceptable? That they will endear him to African Americans? Make no mistake, as far as I am concernerned it doesn't matter if he's black or white, it does matter that he is pure cunt that's preaching a message of division and hate. That's just me my opinion though, I am sure white conservatives think otherwise...probably because they haven't gone through the brainwashing process yet.

I agree with these:
- liberal establishment is scared a real black man will run against Obama.
Not from a racial perspective, but strictly an election perspective, if Cain attracts even 10 additional percent of black voters in 2012, Obama's done.
- Obama not part of black experience in America. Again not from the racial perspective, but I don't think that most black folks grew up in HI, had experience traveling abroad, went to private school, went to Columbia/Harvard Law.
I'd rather not see any race-baiting on either side and I'm pretty sure most conservatives white/black/brown/yellow would agree. I want this election to strictly be about fixing the major issues our country faces
