Would the Jewish community sit back and say "nothing to see here" if a presidential candidate had a swastika sign on property he leased and was known to have brought politicians to said property? The answer is no. The Jewish community would make the candidate account for such facts and would have no hesitation in doing that as it would be essential to promoting their community's goals of tolerance.Article here.
Only in fantasy land are blacks expected to basically shut up and get with the program. I honestly don't think Perry is racist as I've been a resident of the state for nearly 2 decades. However, what he is personally is irrelevant as to how his actions and the symbolism of his words impact others. Maybe there's nothing to the story, but that conclusion should occur only after the target of the story, the people demeaned by the term "niggerhead", makes it quite known that such behavior will not be tolerated.

Would The Jewish Community Support A Politician Who Had a Swastika Sign On Their Property?
The answer most likely not. So, why can't black folks speak up and address things they view offensive as other groups have done? As of today I am not a supporter of Cain but that don't mean I can't change my mind by 2012. Any way I read a comment that was kinda of disturbing to me. The comment was that Herman Cain might have killed his own campaign for speaking up and out about Gov. Rick Perry's ranch. Now the comment below is one that I find very interesting and I found it over at Booker Rising Which by the way is one of my favorites sites to read when it come to politics.
