THe first rule of Niggerhead is you don't talk about racism

Herman Cain had a brief period where he mildly wished Perry had painted over his 'Niggerhead' ranch name a bit earlier , what with nigger being a racist term and all.

The right wing rallies around Perry, and turns on Cain for racistly noting nigger is racist.

P-Marlowe thinks calling someone nigger is just like calling them black.

You know, I think it is racist to call a dark pimple a "blackhead".

And look at all the advertisements for "blackhead removal".

That presents some pretty stark racist images.

magritte knows adding head makes it better:

The “n-word” may be, but a camp called Nigger-head, a word that has been in common use since before the Civil War, is definitely no big deal.

af_vet_1981 is pissed Cain can say Nigger. Also, that saying niggerhead is insensitive is the politics of racism:

[Cain] was on my approved list until yesterday. I reacted with fury at his politics of racism yesterday; trying to take advantage for himself. He actually used the word that must not be spoken on national tv.
Different rules for different classes of folks apparently; I am so sick of FauxNews trying to select our nominee.

rogue yam is pissed Herman Cain is acting black.

This statement by Herman Cain is very disappointing.

We don’t need for Cain to be a “black candidate”.

We need for him to be a conservative American candidate.

Very, very disappointing this is.

Reagan Man knows only liberals get offended by overt racism:

Looks like Cain pulled a Rangel-Sharpton-Jackson-Waters....etc etc etc.. CBC... NAACP...

...the liberal race card!

Come on, Herman, you’re better then that.

concentric circles thinks Cain got lynched:

Cain has to get used to the lying, lynch mob press. As soon as he learns to recognize their scurrilous ways he will produce some great sound bites while smacking down the arrogant bastards.

mmanager has the solution:

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you:

SARAH PALIN!!!!!!!!!

I hear Cain has since retracted his mild offense. So he can go back to his job as black guy who doesn't notice he's black.
