Cain has jumped on the race-hustling bandwagon and accused Rick Perry of racism simply because Perry didn&#8217;t remove an offensive sign on one of his properties fast enough. “The name of the place was called Niggerhead,” Cain said on ABC’s This Week. “That is very insensitive.” When it was pointed [...]]]></description>
