Like for example, Muslims complaining about how they are treated in our western countries, crying racism but then some (not all) blast anything that the west (mainly the US or England) does as racist.
Or how about some blacks always using the race card to get ahead when it might not have been a race issue? I think when someone uses the race card innapropriately, it takes away from the legit complaints.
Coments?

Yes, you are right, White People did enslave Blacks. But Black people first sold White people their fellow blacks. You should really know your history first before you make comments.
By the way. This is supposed to be a racist free discussion. It helps if you understand the history behind things before you go on and answer it. Hopefully you will know what happens when you assume.

"Racism" is a sticky word. When you hurl it at something, it stays put.

Only if you;re not Black, or so it would seem.
And yeah. Every time someone uses the Race Card innapropriately, I feel like shouting, THANK GOD! It looks like we've finally resolved all the SUBSTANTIVE Race Issues!
It does get a bit annoying when someone blames the soggy French Fries he got at McDonalds on Racism.

Who made up the whole race card saying anyway? If black ppl always use the race card, then white ppl must use their white pass.
A comment isn't always racist. It may be something you don't agree with, but not necessarily racist. Ppl of all races are using that term much too loosely.

Funny how white people complain about the race card when they in fact used it first by enslaving black Africans.
EDIT: Mkay, I know my history. The entire Transatlantic Slave Trade consisted of slaves who were sold by Africans of different tribes totaling only 3%. The other 97% were kidnapped. YOU should know your history friend. Why don't you take a class in the African Diaspora and learn something? I know my history quite well. Thanks. Also, have you ever heard of the middle passage?

Ya think??! LOL!!
You know, it's wonderful that you are so well-informed... this is hardly the place, however, to hold a lecture.... I have seen some of your questions, if you recall...
I think perhaps it's the "pot calling the kettle..."
You put up this "Question" to pick a fight. Looks to me like you got what you wanted....}:>
