        @dharma69 @USATODAY So how is this tone deaf then? He wants people to be recognized for skill, not skin.

        @SJWBush @USATODAY This & we're done: no one's voting for them b/c they're black. They'd have to be nom'd for that. Oh wait...no noms.

        @USATODAY What Caine means is one can't vote for a black candidate just because he is black,but he should be deserving of the vote.

        @USATODAY Not because they're Black, Mr. Caine. Because they're DESERVING. Maybe you Brits see things different from as they are here.
