Why haven't white GOP candidates spoken out on Perry's "Niggerhead" issue?

Rick Perry

By now you have heard about the name of a hunting ground that Rick Perry's family once leased and used. It was called "Niggerhead". Yes I spelled it out. We are all grown here and don't to dance around the word nigger.

Am I the only one not surprised that a story about racism has popped up in Perry's past?

But anyway Rick Perry has come out with some story about the rock being painted and turned over to hide the offensive slur. But he also pointed out and not surprisingly so that it was brought to his attention by a friend. That means he had seen the rock before and had no problem with the place being called Niggerhead until it was pointed out to him .I'm sure it was explained to him in a long conversation using very small words why it was bad. Still not quite understanding why it was bad he or his father had the rock painted over.

The only GOP candidate that seems to have an issue with this is...surprise, the black guy.

“My reaction is, that’s just very insensitive,” Cain told Fox. “There isn’t a more vile, negative word than the N-word, and for him to leave it there as long as he did, before I hear that they finally painted over it, is just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country.”

Mr. Cain was honest but made two mistakes here.

First he did something conservatives never do. He admitted there was racism and two he spoke up for black people.

Well Mr. Cain you just lost yourself the GOP nomination but thanks for stepping up.

I am wondering why haven't the other GOP candidates spoken up about this. I'm sure that Bachmann and Gingrich had no idea that nigger was a derogatory term and Ron Paul has forgotten that it was but that doesn't excuse the others.

Romney, Huntsman, and Johnson we are waiting......
