I am sick of seeing so many people (primarily white people) on the news, in books, and on social media sites saying that people of color (primarily black people) always ‘play the race card’ to win points on issues of race. This thinking assumes that once a person of color falsely decries another of racism, there’s nothing they can say or do about it. I’ve even seen incidents where these co-called ‘victims’ of false accusation weren’t even called a racist, but somehow still felt slighted.
I’m sorry, but I have to question this insanity. Don’t these people know that falsely accusing others of playing the race card, in and of itself, is PLAYING THE RACE CARD? Please understand that I am not saying the people of color never cry ‘racism’ falsely. I am only saying that whites do it just as often. All of us need to learn to take our fingers off the trigger a little in discussions of race.
