The far-left website Alternet accuses Herman Cain of “playing the race minstrel for CPAC” and goes on to refer to Cain as the “black garbage pail kid.” I’m sure the media won’t alert you to this racist, hateful rhetoric because it’s coming from their own side.
In the immortal words of Megatron in Transformers: The Movie, Herman Cain’s speech at CPAC really is bad comedy. As you know, I find
black garbage pail kidsblack conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters.When race minstrelsy was America’s most popular form of mass entertainment, black actors would often have to pretend to be white men, who then in turn would put on the cork to play the role of the “black” coon, Sambo, or Jumping Jim Crow. Adding insult to injury, in a truly perverse and twisted example of the power of American white supremacy black vaudevillians would often pretend to be white in order to denigrate black people for the pleasures of the white gaze.
Herman Cain–an ironic name if ever, and one more suited to a tragic figure in a Harlem Renaissance era novella–is not “blackening twice” as some race minstrels chose to do.
Later in the piece the writer referred to Cain as a “monkey in the window.”
Watch the video, does Cain seem like ”minstrel” to you?
Update:Maggie linked – thanks! There’s also a memeorandum thread linking to Power Line, Bob at Camp of the Saints wishes we would stop calling these people liberal, and Gateway Pundit has more information on this progressive, racist website.
Update 2: Marooned in Marin linked – thank you.

In any other circumstance, there would be cries of RAAAAACIST!!
and so it begins, as Cain becomes more popular, the more nasty the insults and insinuations will be.
