| A 2010 CBS News/New York Times poll of Tea Party members found that just one percent are African American, and that more than half (52%) believe that too much has been made of the problems facing African Americans. This view could explain the Tea Party’s love affair with Herman Cain. Essentially he kills two birds with one stone. Herman Cain believes that racism is a thing of the past. Supporting a Cain ticket is a great cleanser for the conscience and gives the Tea Party an opportunity to say, “See, we were right. Racism is in their imagination. My new black friend says so.” |
