I Know This Is Straying From Topic A Little Bit...

But has anyone noticed how Obama plays the race card just a little too much?


Fact: Racist is defined as a "hatred or intolerance of another race or other races." It doesn't say anything about what color of skin those people have to be.


Fact: If you play the race card, you are racist. You cannot expect to receive special treatment for something that you, me, or anything except maybe tanning beds have control over. You say that blacks used to be slaves? You say that they were discriminated against fifty years ago? Forty years? Ten years? Just yesterday?


Well, okay, go whine about it. It really helps your cause.


OR... you could say that people are ignorant, pick up your stuff, and go somewhere else. If people judge you by the color of your skin, then you have to right to ignore them because really, do you need to listen to idiots?


BUT... you play the race card and you lose all right to that moral high ground. You play the race card and even if you get the job, win the law suit, whatever, you are being racist.


NOW. If Obama has played the race card once, twice, maybe three times, I probably wouldn't hold it against him. No, wait, I still would. But at least I wouldn't write a blog post about it. Remember the Gates incident? Henry Gates, a professor at Harvard, was arrested outside his house by a white cop.


And Obama, genius that he is, said, "I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played," but regardless, he also said that the police officer "acted stupidly."


So basically, he said, "I have NO CLUE what happened and what was actually involved and whether or not this had ANYTHING to do with race, but the officer was white and the person arrested was black, and so I'm automatically siding with the black guy."


That ain't racist? Next you'll be saying I'm not a girl. And I take lots of offense at that.

This website really doesn't give any evidence to anything, but I just thought I'd show it because then I can pretend I'm not TOTALLY biased.


I HIGHLY recommend that you read this article; it's good.
