megyn: joining me now fox news analyst of bernie goldberg of bernard goldberg.com. thanks so much for being here. let s pick up when cain left off. do you believe as he believes that he s being targeted because of his race, and/or because he is not just black, but a black republican, a black conservati conservative? yeah, i think that is both a good question and a complicated question. no, i don t believe it s racism in any traditional sense. i don t believe that herman cain s critics in this case don t like him because he s black. but there is no escaping the fact that when black people are also conservative people that just rubs liberals the wrong way. so to that extent i think the fact that he s a black conservative is relevant, but it isn t racism because these people don t like him simply because he s black. it s more complicated than that. but, yeah i do think race is
