Perry Under Fire for Offensive Hunting Camp Name, Cain Calls Him ‘Insensitive’ Toward Blacks

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry is on the defensive after the Washington Post published an extensive report about a family hunting camp that at one point was known as an offensive racial slur — and still is in some circles.
While Perry’s campaign insisted that a rock on the property bearing the name was painted over in the 1980s, the Post reported the rock is very much there, with the name still visible as recently as several months ago:
In the early years of his political career, Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance.
“N—–head,” it read.
[...]
[T]he name of this particular parcel did not change for years after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a state official and finally as Texas governor. Some locals still call it that. As recently as this summer, the slablike rock — lying flat, the name still faintly visible beneath a coat of white paint — remained by the gated entrance to the camp.
When asked last week, Perry said the word on the rock is an “offensive name that has no place in the modern world.”
[...]
“My mother and father went to the lease and painted the rock in either 1983 or 1984,” Perry wrote. “This occurred after I paid a visit to the property with a friend and saw the rock with the offensive word. After my visit I called my folks and mentioned it to them, and they painted it over during their next visit.”
“Ever since, any time I ever saw the rock it was painted over,” Perry said.
Perry’s version of events differs in many respects from the recollections of seven people, interviewed by The Washington Post, who spoke in detail of their memories of seeing the rock with the name at various points during the years that Perry was associated with the property through his father, partners or his signature on a lease.
Herman Cain was the first GOP candidate to attack Perry for the name, calling him “very insensitive” for continuing to hunt there and not acting sooner to remove the name.
“Since Gov. Perry has been going there for years to hunt, I think that it shows a lack of sensitivity for a long time of not taking that word off of that rock and renaming the place,” Cain told ABC’s “This Week.”
“Yes, it was painted over,” he said. “But how long ago was it painted over? So I’m still saying that it is a sign of insensitivity.”
Watch Cain’s interview below, via ABC. Discussion about the name begins at the 2:25 mark.
In a separate interview on Fox News Sunday, Cain addressed the name again, saying the Texas governor showed a lack of sensitivity toward black people.
“There isn’t a more vile, negative word than the ‘n word,’ and for him to leave it there as long as they did is just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country,” he said.
Perry‘s campaign hit back at the Post’s story, saying a number of claims made are “incorrect, inconsistent and anonymous, including the implication that Rick Perry brought groups to the lease when the word on the rock was still visible.”
“The one consistent fact in the story is that the word on a rock was painted over and obscured many years ago,” Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan said.
“Mr. Cain is wrong about the Perry family’s quick action to eliminate the word on the rock, but is right the word written by others long ago is insensitive and offensive. That is why the Perrys took quick action to cover and obscure it,” he said.

We shouldn’t even vote by these so called “debates” or what you heard someone say about a candidate; we should decide by their voting record alone. That is the only way you’ll find out if someone is just telling you what you want to hear, or if they say what they mean and mean what they say. Obama said all the right things and got elected, good luck with that strategy; it’s gotten us to where we are.

Posted on October 2, 2011 at 3:14pmI have no idea how any self respecting Conservative could have ever had this walking catastrophe as a serious candidate. Of course, every media outlet, including Fox and their mad hard push to the left, props up both Perry and another progressive, Romney.
People need to disassociate themselves from the agenda peddling media. We know for certain that CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and NBC are nothing but leftist propaganda peddlers. Throw in PBS, NPR, the History Channel, NOVA, HGTV, MTV, and many of the Cartoon Channels, including Disney, and Sesame Street, it’s plain to see that the communists have about every base covered.
Hannity on Fox peddles “The Architect” Carl Rove, and O’Reilly is all over the map as a phoney Independent stooge, who arrogantly talks over every person he can swindle into going on his program. At least Megyn Kelly (who’s a liberal) conducts actual fair and balanced interviews. Or at least tries to. I can respect her because she doesn’t peddle, she presents facts and truth about both sides. Dana Perino worked for Bush, who is a right wing progressive.
The internet can be a good research tool if people will unravel from the laziness that pervades our society regarding research. Ignore what the media peddles and dig into becoming personally informed about our politicians. From local to national candidates the information is there.
No idea why Beck dumped Bachmann in favor of that turd.

Study english language people. The N word has a history long before it was a racial term for black folks. It was originally used for a charred piece of wood. When used with N—-head, it refered to a black iron ball, a rock hill top, and other meanings. this had nothing to do with black people,
If you are gong to get upsed over this, then you better be prepared to boycot a whole lot of stores out there that sell rap music CDs. It is load with the N word, the F word, the B word, and a whole lot of racist stuff.
It is funny how the N word has sort of become the most powerful word in our language. Blacks can use it, and not one cares. tell me what one word will end your career, destroy your reputation faster than the N word?
I can also tell you this. I know a lot of folks who have used the word at one point and time, and are not near as racist as some of the goody two shoes people who have never used it.
Do you believe in free speech? then get real.
I can tell you this much. If a chunk of land has a good dear population, you can call it ******* rock, honkey rock, spick rock. *** rock, dago rock, ***** rock, jigaboo rock, jungle bunny rock, taco rock, zipper head rock, ************ rock, Mic rock, yankee rock, indian rock, coon rock…… I could give a flip of a wooden nickel what you call it, Ranger P will be glad to hunt on it.

So you believe that America has failed, and that the Governance given to us by the blood of the Founders of the Nation, was in vain? Submission to less than we were given at Founding is a capitulation to an Oligarchy under the rule of the elite, where rights are those given by Government. That’s what Romney and Perry certainly represent. They are little better than Obama, if at all, and maybe worse. At least Obama has exposed the line in the sand and is forcing people to decide between a Republic, or a quick death. Romney and perry represent a death by slow doses of poison. Either way, death of the Republic is assured. We have a choice. Freedom, or surrender, there is no medium.

In general I think that’s right. But prosecuting them for philosophy isn’t really criminal. The Founders and those who ratified the Constitution/Bill of Rights called that practice, “Bad Behavior”, and prescribed the remedy. That penalty was impeachment (which includes every member of the Federal system in the 3 divisions of governance, Executive, Legislative and the Courts). If they then take that same message to the place they decide to live in they can be then charged with sedition, or High Treason.

But OK–maybe one of you can tell me why it is that you resent not being able to use that word. In what context were you planning on using it?
In any case, it’s not a polite word. However, there is a very clear and obvious reason why rappers and other are able to use it. For a long time, the N word was primarily used by whites against blacks as a term to mark their inferiority. When a black person is uses it, then it is unlikely that the term is used to mark black people as inferior (you see, since they themselves are black; following?). See, it’s so simple!

What are you talking about? Mitt Romney leads Obama consistently in most all of the polls that have been coming out. I wouldn’t call someone who has devoted his life to unpaid service, graduated from both Harvard Law and Business schools near the top of his class, and #1 in his BYU class a loser. Not to mention his achievements with the the 2002 Olympics and CEO of Bain and founder of Bain Capital. He has created more jobs in the private sector than Obama will have created in the entire nation during his 4 years. He and all 5 of his sons are Eagle Scouts. Unless your achievements are greater than this very much abbreviated list I think you just keep ignorant comments like that to yourself.
If you do not want to vote for him that is perfectly fine, but Mitt may be a lot of things but it is very close to the opposite of the spectrum from loser. That goes for most of the other candidates as well.
Besides Rick Perry everyone of them is much better than Obama and except Perry they are all better than John McCain as far as it pertains to POTUS. Even Perry is better than Obama just the word much better would be pushing it.

“I would rather write-in my vote for Ron Paul than vote for one criminal or another.” – I, and many of my Libertarian friends, took that same approach in ‘08. I feel that our current POTUS is such a detriment to our economy and civil liberties that it is absolutely necessary to vote him out of office. I don‘t think I’ll be able to vote for Perry or Romney in the primaries, but I may just make a strategic vote in an attempt to see that “the most Conservative nominee that can win” gets the nomination.
@PubliusPencilman…. C’mon. Not everybody on these boards or in the Conservative/Libertarian movement shares these “N” word sentiments. I grew up in a Southern family, and to use that kind of language is foul, vulgar, and ignorant. It would be deeply embarrassing to use such language privately or publicly. I utterly detest political correctness, the hypocrisy that springs forth from it, and its stifling of free speech. That being said, I don‘t lament the inability for anyone to use that kind of language because it’s simply vulgar. I don’t think many who defend its use (and claim to be Christian) realize that using such language runs contrary to Christ’s teachings.

When used with N—-head, it refered to a black iron ball, a rock hill top, and other meanings. this had nothing to do with black people,”
That is false, Rangerp. Even the wilipedia site doesn’t say that. The term is BASED on its use for black people, as all the things it is used for could be said to resemble a black person’s head. It is racist in its origin. There is no getting around that.
All these mental contortions just show that you know how embarrassing this is.
My advice to Perry would be to ride it out. The damage is done, and it wasn’t like he was going to get the black vote anyway.

Ranger dont give up on Herman Cain bro. He was asked a bunch of tough questions and instead of bouncing around it he just answered them for how he felt and what he thinks. Its kind of a breath of fresh air. I dont think cain is pulling any race card, these reporters ask a question and he answers. I have to know more how his 999 plan with work out.

A conservative can barely stand their leadership. Reagan had to prove himself and only at the end of the day was he highly admired. Cult worship of a man is not nor has it ever been part of conservatism. Paul is a charlatan, he runs on the republican ticket even though he is libertarian. Libertarians are actually just social liberals, they pretend to be conservatives. But conservatives are not necessarily republicans. They support conservative republicans and would support conservative Democrats if there were such a thing.

Politicians like both of the Bush’s, Graham, Brown, McCain, Lieberman, Obama, Clinton, Carter, Johnson (hmmm wonder why JFK was murdered?), Truman, FDR, Wilson, Pierce, Jackson, Perry, and Romney were each cut from the same bolt of corrupt (and anti-American) bolt of fabric.

Perry’s parents are certainly old school. The military was integrated 30 years earlier and white folks stopped requiring black folks from sitting at the back of the bus 20 years before. Instead, they were proudly declaring their racial superiority with the N—–Head name of their property. I think Perry‘s claim that he really didn’t know about the name of his parents property, and he put a stop to it is false. I think the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The Founding Doctrine is the last word on the Founding Doctrine. people need to read not only the Federalist Papers, but the Anti-Federalist Papers to get a good footing for the intent of what that Doctrine was meant to say. Paul most certainly is not the last word on Founding Doctrine, but he is the only candidate who is in the Ball Park.
Show me an instance where you think that Paul has diverged from original intent. If there‘s something there that I haven’t seen or overlooked I’d not only be surprised, but appreciative of the information. I would rather be over informed that choose unwisely.

I knew that whatever reply was made to my post by someone who disagrees would include calling me a name. Nice integrity.
Everyone knows that the person on the wrong side of the argument always resorts to name-calling.
Did you even read the article? It could help you. Jack Kerwick is a brilliant guy.
What the Republican party needs to realize is that Ron Paul is absolutely the only candidate that can possibly beat Obama. Look at it like this; Ron Paul supporters currently make up about 15 – 20% of Republican voters and even more if you count Independents who support Paul more than any other Republican. If Paul doesn’t get the nomination and even half of his supporters write him in or vote third party in the general election (which is likely considering that Pauls supporters correctly recognize all of the mainstream candidates (both R & D) as just more of the same. One is no better than the other. If that happens the Republican candidate can not win. Now you would blame that Obama win on the Ron Paul supporters but we blame it on those of you who are ok with the status quo. Although I don’t want a second term for Obama, it‘s a risk I’m willing to take because no matter if it’s Obama, Perry, Romney, or one of the others, all are far worse than Paul so no one else gets my vote this time.
Ok. You can call me another name now.

Racism WAS a big deal in this country and especially in the South. The use of this word was ubiquitous, so much so that it was used to name a landmark. Peopel in the South, and Perry and Cain are both Southerners of comparable age, experienced that word very differently. Perry was never called it. I bet Cain was multiple times. For Cain it represents something personal and offensive. Not so with Perry, and there lies a measure of the lack of sensitivity. Our racist past should be a mark of shame that we would want to expunge. I would have been repulsed by a camp that bore that name. Just knowing it was known by that name would have made me uncomfortable using it. Perry obviously was not made that uncomfortable by it. Merely painting it over seemed good enough. Given what blacks went through in the south I can see why some of them might think that merely painting over the word might be just a token gesture of repudiating the racism of the past.
That fact is, abd I’m taking Perry at his word, he didn’t feel the sting of that word deep enough to find another camp or to blast that rock to pieces.
If I found a piece of property I used was known as “Damned Jesus Hill” and that that name was on some rock, you can bet that I would have doen a whole lot more than just paint over it.

Posted on October 2, 2011 at 1:48pmI liked Cain until he played the ‘race’ card. It took me all of 10 minutes to debunk this.
Governor Perry’s father painted over offensive language on the rock soon after leasing the 1,000-acre parcel in the early 1980s. Governor Perry was on the hunting lease from 1997 to 2007…. years after his father painted over it. The records are easily obtainable at the Throckmorton county courthouse for anybody to see.
The 42,000-acre ranch referenced in the Washington Post story is actually owned by the Hendricks Home for Children.
Surely the Washington Post would know all of this before printing the story or Herman Cain’s camp from jumping on it. Or are they really that inept.

Posted on October 2, 2011 at 2:22pmI agree. This is a leased property, it does not belong to Perry. Thus Perry or his father do not have the right to change or alter or paint over things, unless permission to do so is written into the lease. The WaPost failed to do adequate research before publishing the story. OR they choose to deal in yellow journalism.

IT does raise a relevant question about Perry’s sensitivity to racism and how much that word bothered and offended him that he still took people there after he was Governor. He couldn‘t find someplace that didn’t need its name to be covered up? Or maybe the word didn’t bother him enough that he just forgot about it. I can tell you that I would never forget.

Posted on October 3, 2011 at 1:50pmAshes, resisting the PC reverse racism of the left does not require that we become racists in reaction, just to show ‘em.
This story is not that big a deal and there is an easy way to get around it for Perry.: Just admit to a level of insensitivity. Being insensitive is not a moral failing because sensitivity comes from experience.
Perry should just apologize that his level of sensitivity to that word is not as great as a black man’s because he has never been called it, even though it is not a word that would ever cross hos lips. He just doesn’t feel the sting of it as deeply and so thought merely covering it up by painting over it was enough for him. If he had thought more work was needed to eradicate that word he would have done so.
That would do it. It would acknowledge the issue, and make a humble yet not groveling apology. That would inoculate him from any efective attack on this. The racists on the left would still try, but most Americans hate witchhunts.
The most effective way of dealing with controversies is to admit that your opponent has a point, that their is validity in his fear, while denying that his accusation is true. It‘s easier to make the argument that your opponent is fighting a real problem in the wrong way than to argue that there isn’t a problem at all. THAT requires more argument than any campaign has time for.

Why do you think such a term was used for a rocky outcropping? Because it looked like a black man’s head cropping out of the mountain.
I agree with Cain that it show a level of insensitivity about that word. That’s not a deal breaker because we all can be insensitive about some things. sensitivity comes from experience, and Perry may not have the experience that others do that would make him truly repulsed by the word being there even under a coat of paint. Maybe you don’t realize that Cain is old enough to have been called this word many times in his youth by people who really thought of him as inferior because of his skin color. He has a certain right to being sensitive about others’ insensitivity, as long as he doesn’t make it the central theme of his campaign. Just comment on it and move on.

I don’t understand the logic of this satement. No one is saying that Perry named the place niggerhead or that he painted the name on the rock.
The fact remains that the rock itself rmains with the word still somewhat visible. It may have been painted over but its existence does not seem to have bothered anyone enough to do more than paint it over. It might seem to some like a veneer of respectability was placed over a foul and racist name.
And here are some people trying to pretend that it isn‘t a racist word or that it is no big deal bicause words don’t matter or because blacks use that word too.
Those are arguments that will do nothing but confirm to blacks that conservatives don’t take racism seriously, when the opposite is true.

I have to side with Romney on this. If you draw four aces that doesn’t make you a great poker player. Perry did not create Texas’ economy, and when you look at the stats for his job growth-get read- most of the growth was in jobs taken by non-native born residents. Some may be legal immigrants, some may be illegal aliens, but the Texas economy hasn’t been any better for native born Americans that most other parts of the country.

He started to sound all hat and no cattle. Given that the Texas Governorship is one of the weakest in the Union I suppose that one could succeed as Governor being that light.

Posted on October 2, 2011 at 1:53pmRon Paul would not have voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (free markets would take care of the Jim Crow laws Paul stated).
This guy Paul is the greatest friggin’ Monday morning quarterback known to mankind… lol. And he’s also a fortune teller if you ask some. Paul has some “racist” newsletters in his past which STILL haven‘t been totally ’splained away Lucy…

Posted on October 2, 2011 at 2:10pmI read the article by pastor Baldwin – he’s not totally correct about some things. Makes too many blanket statements. “Post millenialists” do not necessarily believe that the church replaced Israel, etc. b/c I am one & know quite a lot like me. Many Consvs. believe in many things that Ron Paul stands for, as I do, about protecting the sovereignty & independence of America, etc., not getting involved with nation building as Repubs. used to be, bringing all our troops home, letting Israel do what she deems necessary,but disagree about not helping Israel. Paul is naive & ignorant about the dangers of Iran, Islam, etc. And yes, vehemently against giving money to countries that hate us & are terrorists like the Palestinians, etc. He (Baldwin) apparently doesn’t believe verses in the Old Testament about whoever blesses Israel He will bless & curses those who don’t. “Bless” = help. I don’t think that ever ended. It doesn’t matter about how they treat Christians there. Irrevelant….read Romans 11. He is also wrong about John Hagee & shame on him. I have researched this & this is a huge misunderstanding. And NO, Christians aren’t “warmongers” – shame on him for saying that also. Always do your own research on these things. Many are sincerely wrong.

Report Post »I respectively disagree. Israel has the strongest military in the Middle East, and is capable to take out any surrounding nations if warranted. But as it currently stands, America cannot afford to prop up its allies all the time. You have all of the united states weapon technology at your disposal. I just feel that Israel should worry about reaching a peace agreement with palestine. There is nothing America can do, if neither side will ever agree to peace. This is soley my opinion.
