From that clip? Not enough info. She doesn't say anything racist. She says things that are stupid and factually untrue but that's a different issue
Didn't bother to watch the clips because both Cain and West have shown themselves to be racists in other contexts...
Yes and?

Herbert wrote in the same column, "The truth is that there was very little that was subconscious about the G.O.P.'s relentless appeal to racist whites. Tired of losing elections, it saw an opportunity to renew itself by opening its arms wide to white voters who could never forgive the Democratic Party for its support of civil rights and voting rights for blacks."[37]
"In later decades, some analysts made the argument that Southern whites' move to the Republican Party had more to do with whites' voting for their economic interests than racism. Clay Risen wrote in a review of The End of Southern Exceptionalism, a scholarly work by Richard Johnston and Byron Shafer, "from a backward region to an engine of the national economy, giving rise to a sizable new wealthy suburban class. This class, not surprisingly, began to vote for the party that best represented its economic interests: the G.O.P."[

I want to know the names and functions of the people who did this. I've been checking to see if their identities have been revealed, but no luck yet. Why in the heck should their names be protected anyway?
