Do some minority people really play the "Race card" against caucasian(s)?

Question

Have you ever been in a situation (the perpetrator or the victim) where racism was alleged wrongfully by someone from a minority. I am brown and one of my friends often brings up the issue at the slightest insult or innuendo by any white folk. Makes me think.

P.S: For the retards who would rather have me ask something new than answer this simple question here is something more- I am new to this place.

Answer 1

Of course. When don't they say that.

Like recently, Wesley Snipes saying they are coming after him over taxes because he's black? Yeah.. sure... if the IRS wants to discriminate against blacks, lets pick one of the famous ones-whatever.

Or Imus was a good example, he said nappy headed hos and I know plenty of non-black girls with nappy hair and the term 'hos' isn't exclusive to the black community... yet what is the first thing you hear, 'you're racist! kiss my beautiful Al Sharpton *** to make it all better... kiss it!'

Or the bungled response to New Orleans and Katrina (which I was there for btw) was because Bush hates black people!? Holy crap do you know the immense logistics involved in moving people to the armpit of the country for help? We needed our humvees and we had to drive all the way from Pennsylvania in a vehicle that normally isn't driven on highways for several days straight. All the other units we saw had the same issue, if you were close enough to drive there in short order you had your own problems to worry about. And yeah I'm sure President Bush sat there thinking, hm... I hate black people.. I'll make them AND the white and hispanic folk wait for help just because of my secret hatred for the blacks.

Or the immigration reform they are trying to pass. It isn't racist! The heavy hispanic population in the country and a good chuck of liberals would have you believe otherwise but if my family came here legally other can too. That's the funny part.. these workers ARE here illegally. They don't have some magical right to sneak over the border and do what they want. But on the other hand we recognize they are essential to the economy (to an extent) and the bills also address that by creating ways they can continue to work in this country and work towards citzenship. But somehow we get calls of racism for simply wanting to defend our borders and force people to LEGITIMATELY pursue citzenship.... yeah sure sounds racist to me *rolls eyes*

Answer 2

I work at a convenience store and have been told by several people that I discriminate or am racist because I wouldn't sell them beer and/or cigarettes. On the contrary, I am expecting them to follow the same rules that I expect EVERYONE to follow. I don't care if you're Caucasian, African-American, Oriental, Hispanic, Martian, or whatever, if you don't appear over 30 to me and you appear to be part of a transaction involving an age-restricted product, then I have to see a valid (store policy is non-expired state ID OR full passport; anything that has broken lamination is not accepted; NO foreign or military IDs) ID to make the sale. There are many times that I believe what a person is telling me the truth (for example, that the person with them is their son), but I'm supposed to go by what I see, not what I believe, because if what I believe is wrong and I get caught, I'm still just as busted. That means I get a fine and I'm out of a job. And I have a wife and we're taking care of her grandson (both are Mexican, he's living with us to get an education in the U.S.). Sorry, but they're more important to me than someone who might get bent out of shape because I deny a sale of an age-restricted product.
BTW, a lot of my Mexican co-workers get the same type of reaction from white people who they've had to deny sales to for similar reasons ("Oh, but I bet you'd make this sale if I was Mexican.....")

Answer 3

in basic terms in this age of greater sensitivity would desire to a minimum of one describe what's being mentioned by making use of Democrats as racist no longer to point going all out. evaluate their statements to what's asserted right here daily and on conservative blogs or examine the statements of segregationist and the black panthers interior the 1960's. the indisputable fact that we are no longer a colour blind society and nevertheless have project with sexism in basic terms comes as a marvel to the very youthful.

Answer 4

Asked and answered before. The answer is no, but whites like to continue to repeat this lame excuse to start trouble and stir the racism pot.

On to something new...this is old and played out...Get on with the new. For the retards who keep asking this question new to the forum or old, it's innappropriate and only stirs contention. You should know not to ask it in the first place. They know what they're doing; they know they are embracing bigotry and drawing others with the same mentality to post hate and lies on the forum. They think they're fooling us all but really, who is the joke 'really' on? It'll take Armageddon to wipe these ones out because really, they won't change. Armageddon will be a glorious day.

Answer 5

well, I think being racist is the reverse of the race card. Saying only one race gets better treatment than others or one race gets worst treatment. My point...if someone uses the race card unfairly it's because somewhere down the line they were treated unkindly and feel this time they are going to speak up. Stop racism...You stop the race card from being played.

Answer 6

I'm white and native american . There are good and bad in all colors . Any sin that can be committed will be committed .
It's not about color , it's about morals . I suggest you find some moral "friends" and stop perpetuating racism . Good people would not do this , regardless of their color .

Answer 7

OK MY BLK PPLE, let's be real here, some of us do play that card and it isn't fair because when it actually is something significant and has something to do with race, it will be viewed in a trivial manner because it gets played a lot. Like that Blk fireman, that ***** participated!

Answer 8

Yes, it happens often. It is a sure sign that the person making the claim is a racist.

Answer 9

I think too many people play the race card, rather than face up to their own inadequacies or faults. It quite frankly is getting really old.

Answer 10

I guess it is sometimes used as a crutch.
