No, by getting some black/any old black and propping him up like they are doing Cain would only prove they have perfected the same old conservative, tokenist attitudes towards Blacks used against us for generations.

One of those whackodoodles gets the nomination, they’ve got a 50% chance of getting into the WH. I don’t want any of them anywhere near it.

I think that there is a quantifiable difference between tokenism and voting for a black man to be your Party’s nominee.

A whackadoodle will get the Republican Party nomination one way or the other. People might have said that Bush was a moderate as compared to any of the non-Romney candidates, but his policies were disastrous at multiple levels.

I’d rather have a whackadoodle who has less of a chance of winning, particularly if to at least some degree, it advances the notion that overt racism is a thing of the past.

On the other hand, there are some disturbing implications of the possibility that a serial sexual harasser would become a major party nominee for president.
