(i) Rick Perry wrote a letter in 2000 to defend the local communities in Texas that wanted a Confederate Monuments on Texas government buildings.
(ii) Rick Perry supports the ongoing movement by the Confederate groups in Texas that wanted the Confederate Image on automobile state licenses to read "Sons of Cofederate Veterans".
(iii) Rick Perry once defended one of his staffers that was forced to resign over a racial slur comment "we have one NIGGER here and we do not need another one.
(iv) The Washington Post reported last week that Perry's family leases a hunting camp once called "Niggerhead". According to some local residents interviewed by the Post, the Perrys used the camp for years before painting over a large rock with that name on it, which stands at an entrance to the area, and during this time Perry hosted friends and supporters at the camp.
Can he sell his candidature to American voters from different races, cultures, religions and ethnicities? Time will surely tell. Rick Perry carries a lot of baggages into the GOP race. How far will he go? Will he defend these serious allegations in his next public debate sucessfully? All hands on deck for now as the political events unfold. Time will surely tell.
