At this point what is right is starting to take advantage of all the victories already won and stop having a 90% illegitimacy rate and chronically high dropout rates in school. Education and two parent households are proven to be the top two factors in poverty, not skin color. Once you've consolidated your gains, then go rail against the last vestiges of racism.
Your type always talks about the fictional race card! Here’s a news flash for you. There is no such thing as a race card! That term was made up to undervalue the black perspective of racism. Either something is racist or it is not. Cards are for the black jack and poker table!

With that said President Obama is the exception not the norm. Racism didn't just go away because a black president was elected. Racism is still alive and well. Especially in politics! Just check out the Tea Party…

Claiming the race card doesn't exist doesn't address the point of what I said. But that's par for the course for "your type". Deflection, ad hominem, strawman - rarely anything substantive.

I addressed your point to the tea. Just like many other conservative theories this one can't hold water... When attempting to prove a point, make a case or persuade an audience you can't substantiate your claims with false information... You'll be called out every time...



Tearing down arguments based off of logical fallacies on City-Data since DEC 2009.

Not one thing you said made sense... What's your infatuation with Sharpon about?
