why do black people always pull out the race card ?

Answer 1

Because they are also racist. They think the world owes them something and they are wrong.

Answer 2

I think it's unfair to say they "pull out the race card". Race is not some kind of game where you take your chances by pulling a bluff and then see if you win. It's not a competition. It's not a thing to play around with. Yes there are times where individuals feel that they're being mistreated due to their race, and sometimes these circumstances are unfounded. I grew up in South Africa but I don't come from there and certainly didn't believe in the racist ideology that ruled the politics there for so long. But I got some funny responses to the most normal requests (when I had authority or was in charge) from black people who saw my colour and believed I was "bossing them around" because they were black! But at the same time, you can't just ask for respect these days. I think they have the right to be suspicious of us. You'll get all sorts of people out there and as long as you keep your cool and behave respectfully, most others would react to you in the same way. But pulling the race card is a multiple issue and not an excuse. It is rooted in a deeply embarrasing and degrading history, a disadvantage that is forever going to shape the identity of black people, just like anyone's history shapes theirs. So when someone pulls a race card on you, try to look for prejudices within yourself that might have caused this reaction, and if you truly can't find anything- then you have the right to confront this person and say "why do you believe that? Is it because I am white?"

Answer 3

First, you are categorizing all "blacks" and using the term "always" as if implying that all African Americans always use the race card when defending their actions. This question, in itself appears racist. If you have a question that refers to specific incident, there is usually an answer.

In my experience, I have had the race card pulled on me in ridiculous situations. There was one time I had a woman call me racist for saying that Kordell Stewart was lousy quarterback. Typically, in these instances, the person that is making the false accusation has experienced a great deal of racism in the past. In this case, it was a family friend that was wrongfully accused and sent to prison among other things.

In other situations, people in general can be unethical and manipulate their surroundings. You could just as easily ask a question like: "Why do rich white corporate CEO's rip off their employees/ the public?"

Answer 4

I've looked at your 'post' history. Why do you always go on about black people. You are racist.

These are some of your questions:
1. can u plz ezplain why black women have very short hair that does not grow and breaks off the scalp?
2. Ive noticed that these days many black women have false hair, false lashes and fake nails. why they not happy?
3. im not racist but why do black people cause a lot of trouble in my area?
4. I witnised 4 black girls beat up an elderly woman & her daughter for no reason what do u think should happen?
5. can u plz tell me why are there some asian girls with freckles and hazel eyes and light skin?

What are you, KKK? Just leave black/asian folk alone and get a life.

Answer 5

If you got it, use it! JK! Sometimes there is legitimate discrimination based on race. Sometimes there is discrimination based on behavior (running from the law, assaulting an officer, poor performance at work, etc.). The cases that get the most attention are usually the ones where the black person was in the wrong in the first place. This takes away from the legitimacy of real cases of racial discrimination. It is like the boy who cried wolf: after a while, no one cares and everyone is sick of hearing about it.

Answer 6

i dont know - slavery was abolished years ago and blacks werent the only ones in history to be removed from their homelands - irish, scottish, jews, gypsies, bosnians, aborigines, native americans, amazon tribes .. the list goes on. At the end of the day many people in subsaharan africa do not have access to education, work, healthcare, power - whereas everyone in the west does albeit to a greater or lesser degree. If there is free eduction why are people not taking advantage of it? Poverty and oppression are not exclusive to black people, so if a caucasion person rants on about the oppression are they whining or are they correct if many other caucasions have jobs? If a caucasion gets called a fat bastard, is that fatism? If they are stupid, are they white idiots - or as americans say "trailer trash" - is that racism when its true?

Answer 7

Despite the contribution of black people to america's history it's only recently that black history was encouraged in american schools and made mandatory for black and white students.
We came to America in slave boats and upon our back and sweat America was built.We toiled night and day to make America what it is today. For 300 years we were classed as slaves, property of white Americans. denied basic human rights,
and no right to property, segregated and cast aspersion on, denied justice, lynched and hung to become strange fruits in the orchards of the south, burned on the stakes of the Ku klux clan. Denied equal education.
Despite laws abolishing dicrimination against black people how do you expect a black person to overcome 300 years of oppression and repression unless the Government of the United States try to address the imbalance in favour of some black people who are genuinely struggling to tag along. black people only ever play the race cards when their way to the top is barred.
Supreme court judge Clarence made this clear when the democrats opposed his nomination. He called himself an uppity black man who dared to aspire to great heights (not his exact words.) He now opposes affirmative action for black people despite playing the race card himself to get to where he is.
Believe me, as a black man there are so many mountains that I climb everyday that would not have been there if I were a white person.
Look just for one day why dont you apply a shade of black, donne an Afro wig, go out there and see if it's easy to be a black person.
Maybe then you'll understand what it means to be black. Playing the race card is the ultimate last resort joker in a black person's pack and it is only ever used when it becomes apparent that the white person is blocking the progress.
Despite being held back we played great roles in America's history. We were only one step behind when Peary reached the North pole, we are still there today playing a lead role on behalf of America in search of peace in the middle east. When America reaches to the heavens in space crafts look out for the odd black person.
When you think better of a black person some of the achiements becomes illuminated.

Answer 8

There's a book you should read. It's called "Black Like Me".

A white journalist took treatments to turn his skin dark, shaved his head and wandered through the South as a black man. His experiences shocked him and awakened a nation to what they could not see before.

Things have changed a lot since then, but I bet any white man trying the same experiment today would still be shocked by the results.
