Or are most of his supporters white?

Does it matter?
 
His backtracking may have contributed.


He walked back like a moonwalker after some Republicans criticized him for saying this:


"For him to leave it there as long as he did before, I hear, they finally painted over it, is just insensitive to a lot of people in this country."


After he took a whipping from the right, he changed his tune:


"I really don't care about that story! They painted over it. End of story."


See and hear Herman before & after his flogging:

Apologizing for massa, won't win him any black support or votes. Quiet as it's kept. If he had stood up to the criticism, he would have profited, because he would have been seen as a champion against racism and bigotry. He caved. He's nothing.
 
He's an unabashed flip-flopper. That's not nothing, it's something.

Spread the word.
 
“Why do we get only a month?” says Cain. “How come we can’t get a whole year?”


He sees himself “as being American first, black second, and conservative third.”



He encountered discrimination “even after major civil rights legislation had been passed,” and describes how he “couldn’t get a haircut in the barbershop of my choosing” in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where a barber “told me that they were not allowed to cut black people’s hair.” That day, Cain walked out the door, bought a pair of clippers and cut his own hair – something he still does to this day.
