(406 posts)I'm sick and tired of our side constantly playing the race card. Seriously. It's always thrown out way too early in the game, keeps the focus away from the root cause and has essentially become a dog whistle similar to Benghazi on the right. Okay, maybe not like Benghazi to the right. Benghazi is a Republican mating call, which is far more intense than any dog whistle.
But, to be serious, the Democrat race card has heavily diminished the urgency when real racism does occur, such as a physical crime against someone of another race which is infinitely more harmful than any asshole spouting off some dim-bulb nonsense; commonly known as a "racial slur".
The TP came from a similar agenda to the Dupont Co. and their cohorts to take down FDR. Learning from that mistake, they exploited the use of useful idiots to spout off their own low-rent melodrama cries of bogus tyranny/socialism to stymie Obama and hinder what's necessary to get America on the right track. That's all it was. Astroturf and nothing more.
