Not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Playing the race card is done as if it were some kind of sport.
Everybody is dealt a hand of cards. It was my choice to play them the way I played them.
Blacks essentially play the race card, when necessary as a counter to white privilege.
I save the race for the race and I don't let it all out in practice.
You know, I don't play the race card a lot. I'm half-black, half-white, and I'm proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didn't raise me as a black man. She didn't raise me as a white guy.
The thing about it is, all those races we lost, we won this race together. We won it as a team.
Fate was dealing from the bottom of the deck.
We run to win, not just to be in the race.
In short, and let us be clear on it: race is not a card. It determines whom the dealer is, and who gets dealt.
Only blacks can play the race card, apparently; only they think in racial terms, at least to hear white America tell it.
