Is it me or does Herman Cain talk about race more than any politician around?
Cain can't seem to get through an interview or speech or soundbyte without some comment or observation about his race or how black people think or whether the President is black enough, etc.

For the frontunner of a party that is always telling black folk to shut up already about race - since any reference to race by most of us is an unacceptable playing of the "race card," doesn't Cain "play the race card" a bit much?

Can you imagine the reaction if Barack Obama talked about race as much as Cain does?

3. Let me give this one a try.
Herb Cain is a "Real" Black Man, whereas Mr. Obama is only partially Black, therefore not really Black, so "Real" Black people actually have more in common with him, not Obama.

5. Your right. Yet you don't hear the right saying anything about it.
