(ThyBlackMan.com) According to the Washington Post, Texas governor and Republican 2012 presidential hopeful Rick Perry has a “ranch problem”. For years, including some during his tenure as governor, he and his family hosted hunting and other events at a West Texas hunting camp they leased called “Ni**erhead”.
Perry has offered varying accounts of when “the name painted in block letters across a large, flat (3-by-5 foot) rock standing upright at its gated entrance” was painted over. Basically, Perry states that his parents painted over the name in 1983 or 1984.
According to the Post, “Perry’s version of events differs in many respects from the recollections of seven people…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.” Some believe they saw it as recently as 2008.
The Post is correct in stating that names such as these were “once applied to products such as soap and chewing tobacco” and “most often to geographic features such as hills and rocks” but this issues should raise a number of questions about Gov. Perry and his campaign.
What impact will this have on Perry’s campaign? It was just over seven weeks ago that Christian Conservative and Tea Party backed Gov. Rick Perry entered the Republican race for president as the Washington Times called him, “the instant superstar many political observers expected.”

How many Confederate Statues in Texas are dedicated to the old Southern Politicans and Generals are dedicated to the old cause of selling human flesh or perpetuating it? It was a crime against humanity which Neo Confederates are in denial about. Like Iran denies the Jewish Holocaust!
What do expect from the South that loves Jeff Davis the 19th Century statesman of human flrsh dealers.
This is too funny/sad. I can’t wait to see what Jon Stewart has to say.
Note to Perry – This is not the 18th Century anymore.
So painting it over means he endorsed the name? Was he supposed to hire an exorcist to remove the magical demons?
