Okay it was a bit crude I admit, but really man: Admit it, Herman Cain wouldn't be this big of a deal if he were some white dude who was a talk show host (like Rush Limbaugh) who was Republican.
Actually, I don't necessarily agree with that. Sure, Steve Forbes was a bigger deal as a businessman but that was his one claim to fame and he received considerable attention in 1996 and 2000.
But if you really believe this to be the case with Cain, would you also concede that the current President wouldn't have been half the phenomenon he is supposed to be because he's black?
Ok, good.
