Playing the Dismiss Card

Aug 1st, 2008 at 3:42 am EDT

What they call the race card, I call the dismiss card. White middle class people, of whom I am one of, who do not want to deal with the "issues" that people of color have, tritely state, "they are playing the race card!"

Call it what it is--the dismiss card.

It is very much like white folks, of which I am one, stating that, "I don't see color!" What they do not realize is that, IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO NOT SEE COLOR!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WHEN YOU ARE WHITE.

If you think that the media is treating Obama the same way they are treating McCain, just ask yourself how the msm would have reacted if Obama would have mixed up the Sunni and Shia of Iraq?

America, you are in denial. Yeah, it is a pain in the arse to accept the fact that there are uneducated, racist, and utterly unfair individuals in our country. Just because YOU ARE NOT A TARGET OF THEIR HATRED DOES NOT MEAN IT DOES NOT EXIST!!

How about facing the TRUTH FOR ONCE AMERICA? You act like--I don't ever have a hate crime perpetrated against me because I'm cute, white, rich, and blonde! So therefore there's no such thing as hate crimes! If so you are disingenuous and unaware of the world around you.

REPUBLICANS ARE NOT EITHER. THEY PLAY TO UNINFORMED FEARS!

Get over yourselves! It is the DISMISS CARD AND IT IS THE REPUBLICANS WHO PLAY IT!! CUT AND DRY, END OF STORY. Please, don't do it again America. A tree will be known by its fruit, and they trashed our country!
