12. I saw the "problematic" bit when it hit and didn't have a problem with it and still don't

Cenac seems to have strongly felt Cain should get a break on being a fool because he is black, I'd tell him to fuck off too because we have show to do and it is not about tip toeing around every half assed sensitivity can be imagined.

When your campaign is about 9-9-9 then guess what you open yourself to charges of lack of vigor in learning, don't like it then stop preaching and appealing to laziness and willful ignorance as a national political campaign and no being black should not draw a pass.

Cain is the problem not Stewart and Cenac is being hypersensitive to the point of being humorless on a comedy show by demanding passes for right wing idiots if they are black.

There is nothing wrong with the bit. Nobody was mad for years but now we discover it is "insensitive"? Bullshit but it does fit into the current fight back against the racist liberal meme so time to dust it off the internal debate while ignoring the actual skit which was dead on on and funny.

Fuck Herman Cain and Cenac deserved pushback on his inexplicable position. I'm glad Stewart apologized for being an asshole about it but he was not wrong.
