The rest of the story was pretty compelling and made some good points.

Black conservative commentator Armstrong Williams, who worked for Thomas when he headed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said some Republicans are put off by Cain’s claims of racism because they hate it when they are accused of being racist.

Upding Armstrong.
