So please keep your remarks about how black people in the US have it so much better than white people for yourself, thanks...
and how about your not telling us, in our country how to think or how to respond to comments and threads that are deliberately started to stir up trouble.

In College, I took a sociology class about race, and I remember a discussion about how the society thinks some black people are quick to accuse people of performing a racially discriminating act without carefully analysing the situation.

After the whole discussion, I remember the professor making a comment about the fact that there are existing studies that show most blacks actually do carefully analyse the situaton before accusing people of said act.

The Media is feeding you BS.

Evidently, your professor didn't take into consideration certain entities which are all too quick to pull out the race card at the drop of a hat.....say people like Al Sharpton and groups like the NAACP, who see the entire world and practically everything that happens in terms of race.

When you cannot possibly think that ObamaCare for example is not right for America without being labeled a racist by many in that same media or by certain entities, then they are defying the "facts" your professor espoused.

As I said before, the race card today is just an easy tool to use to stifle any possible constructive debate so you can avoid having to defend your position.

Because we know it's b.s. and is used as a crutch for so-called minority entitlement programs, to excuse bad behavior, or escape personal responsibility.

Next.

there is a great vid on youtube of a black male and a white male similar age, in the same field, going into st. louis and just doing daily things like looking for a job, looking for a car, finding a place to live.

the whites who whine about blacks complaining about racism haven't gone through it. some may push it when it doesn't need it, but i'm sure most of the complaints are valid.

granted, that video was 20/20, back in 1991, but im sure a lot of that stuff is out there, in terms of response times in being served, being tailed in a store, paying more down on a car, etc.

Nothing in that video surprises me one bit.

I don't have any problem with Blacks that complain about racism when it actually applies. They've ever right to.

But the term "race card" by definition alludes to using race as a tool when it doesn't apply.

They (the NAACP) raise Cain about schools using MLK Day to make up snow days, but I'm sure it would be okay with them to use Presidents' Day. (Sorry George and Abe).

Because most white people are not racist.

It's humiliating and angering when you are always portrayed as being as such.
