-Tea Party member Herman Cain seems to be making racist comments about Blacks, even he's one himself
-Cain goes on to make comments about how Black people aren't capable of making smart choices in politics and government
-Cain also goes on making derogatory comments about how Black people could be more successful if they would just work harder, although the author believes that this doesn't even apply to a majority of their race
analysis: 1.) Clearance Page is questioning American society as they don't seem to be aware that Cain makes such racist remarks and gets away with it while others don't
2.)-sarcasm to mock American racial progress- "it says a lot about American progress that the former Godfather's Pizza CEO has surged to first place"
-use of examples to back up his claim as well as compare different reactions- "yet we did not hear about conservatives complaining about a race card..."
-mocking through irony- "it is ok to talk about race, as long as you only criticize Black people"
