Cain feeds the myth that racism is over.
But the ascension of Cain does not prove that racism is over.
Cain, in particular, is not the best person on which to hang your proof that your party isn’t racist.
A Black man who denies that racism has an impact on today’s world gives great comfort to people who wish for the race conversation, as opposed to racism, to be over.
A Black man who thinks if you don’t have a job, it’s your fault gives comfort to those on one side of the class war.
A Black man who wraps himself in minstrelish tropes, like wanting the Secret Service to call him Cornbread and breaking into song at campaign events, surely gives comfort to those who are still not comfortable seeing Blacks as Alpha men.
