I can’t win
When Obama ran for the Presidency, the claim was that if you didn’t vote for him it was because he was black which made you a racist. So I didn’t vote for Obama because I didn’t care for what he said he was going to do, but according to the liberals I’m a racist.
Now, Herman Cain comes on the scene and frankly I like what he says. But because he is a black Republican, if I support him I’m a racist.
What?
If I oppose one black man for President I’m a racist; and if I support another black man I’m a racist.
Now what got me going on this was a comment by Janeane Garofalo:
“People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity say you can say ‘Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man.’”
What ever happened to the concept of supporting and voting for the individual that has the best ideas?
UPDATE: In recent years I have repeatedly heard that only whites can be racist, that blacks are never racist. But now (black) Democrat strategist Cornell Belcher has said that Herman Cain is a . . . (drumroll) . . . racist. So now we’ve got a black Democrat calling a black Republican a racist. I’m getting more confused by the minute.
That’s my 2 cents.
