just because you think a "card" has been played too much doesn't mean it's wrong....I'm glad people are getting uncomfortable about racism....Be honest and address racism. Stop deflecting. Address it.
If you think a racist is going to care that you think he is racist, I have news for you.
He is not going to care. And he's not likely to change.
As for those who are not racist, endless race card playing against them is offensive.
But by all means, keep it up.
Trump 2020!

Again and again it always boils down to the same thing, "balance is key."
Yes, and part of that balance is building the wall, reducing immigration, and ending racial preferences against whites and males.

Whites are telling blacks to straighten their hair?
First I've heard of it.

You'd better parrot the SJW line if you want to get ahead in government and in corporate America.
Just look at the head of Mozilla who was fired because he was against gay marriage.
Obama was also against gay marriage just a few years ago, but let's see....that was okay because Obama was black, while the head of Mozilla was white.
Let me ask, what is THE best book on Robert Francis Kennedy! Yes, I know, I will get many answers!
If there was a man in American History who was as compassionate and understanding to all sides, and could speak to all people, it was him! I think folk can learn something from a man like that, even in 2017 and beyond....
The Naptown speech after King's assassination (East side of Indianapolis) is, to this day, truly breathtaking. He felt their pain (the loss of their leader), and they felt his! (the loss of his brother!) And to go into as diverse of places as the coal mines of West Virginia, the shacks of Mississippi and have a hand in revitalizing Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, shows that he had no fear of any type of group, region or audience!
As indicated, folk can learn from something like that, these days. Now, yes, in addition to understanding and compassion, it takes a level of political skill and charisma, but folk can still learn a thing or two about how to bring people together for a common good....!
That might be an issue if one used their machine for everything, but these days with chain proxies, blockers, host lists, VMs, etc... there is no need to have a single machine which can be tracked as you describe. Even MS's attempt to track through the OS is handled with a good firewall device that has granular control.
Fact is, if someone doesn't want you to know who they are, you aren't going to be able to find out. This is why many hacks go unpunished.
The issue is that most people are not going to bother with anything of the sort that you are wanting to take comfort in, as proven by all the money and resources advertisers are devoting toward retargeting efforts that track the average user of the Internet, and that's a whole lot of people. I know, because I was one of those resources...
Wow! Would you like a side of arrogance with that plate of presumption? You don't know anything about me, guy. Yet you presume to sterotype me.
And apparently, the message I was trying to convey went right over your head. Your narrow mindedness will never allow you to see things from other people's points of view, which is important. Even if you don't agree with them, it's still important to gain an understanding of where they are coming from.
I am inclined to agree that swallowing you up with that stereotype was a little much and more than a little unfair. I am even more inclined to suggest that you are not one qualified to preach about understanding where others are coming from given all the rest one can gather about you from your comments.

Anyone willing to take any effort to protect their information can. It only takes an interest and action to do so and anyone can be protected from such intrusion. Those unwilling to do so, well.. I really don't give a crap about. If one wishes to put a gun in their mouth because they are lazy, ignorant, or stupid... who am I to argue with the process of nature? Let them do as their genes demand!
