As a black man, i'm going to give you white folks (especially you republicans) some free advice. If you don't like the race card, here is an easy solution to fight it, quit giving us a reason to use it.

Gingrich to black people: paychecks, not food aid - Yahoo! News

Newt Gingrich Coded Racism | LA Progressive

Ron Paul signed off on racist 1990s newsletters, associates say - The Washington Post

Santorum Singles Out Black People as Dependent on Government - Yahoo! News

Now I know you guys will come on here and try to defend each one of these articles and justify what these candidates said was true or not that bad, but as long as candidates try talk about blacks in these situations, democrats will use the race card. You can talk all you want about democrats and their so called "plantation", but its republicans who get the race card allegations thrown at them all the time. If you don't have anything nice to say about blacks, don't talk about us, or you will get the race card.

Translation, don't act like a racist and you will not be called a racist.

Racists seem to think that using words like "race card" will get them a free pass and stop any criticism.

Racists have every right to voice their racist ideas, and people have every right to call them racists.

When you talk about blacks to a group of white people, you will the race card. Yes, a racism charge will be directed at you. Don't talk about the struggles of blacks to people who arent black, how hard is that?

It has nothing to do with it being hard, its humorous because you think people are always talking about you. White people don't hold secret weekly meetings to discuss black folks, we just want you to fix your own damn problems and stop blaming us all the time.

All I know is if you voted in the 2008 primaries for Hillary Clinton...you are a racist.

I agree we have to fix our problems, but when talk about blacks and welfare, and having racist newsletters, why in the world would democrats not use the race card.

That is just the way it is. If you don't want to have the race card allegation thrown your way, its up to you to tread carefully about what you say about african americans.

The 'race' card has run it's course and the only one's who don't seem to understand that are the one's who continue to try and pad their bank accounts, using it!

Well then, there are still 'brothers' such as yourself that seem to like being 'pimped' by those padding their accounts!

I use to feel sorry for people such as yourself!

Not any longer!

Now I just ..

If its run its course, why do republicans complain about how democrats use the race card today. If something has run its course, you wouldn't worry that somebody uses it. Obama will use it again this year when he runs for election. If he wins it again, you can't make the arguement that using the race card has run its course.
