"Playing the Race Card"

[prole]

Hell, I don't mind if racial issues are brought into the political arena. Substantive discussions on race in America are sorely lacking. What I hate is this asinine, utterly meaningless metaphor trotted out every time any kind of racial issue is raised no matter how trivial. "The race card", "Oooo, he's played the race card". Doesn't mean shit. Yet another indication that any capacity for meaningful mainstream political discourse in America was strangled at birth. John McCain's use of Bush's 2004 syphlitic-pitbull-on-crank style election strategies are pathetic. What a wanker.

This is really neat coming from someone who lives in the whitest city west of the Cascade Crest and attended the whitest public university in the pacific northwest. Please! By all means, tell us how it is!

[prole]

Wow, for being a white supremacist, you sure are quick to want to shut other white people up! Or just race traitors?

White supremacist? No. But certainly superior to you.

[tvashtarkatena]

Sounds like you both need to suck it, my niggahs.

The ace of spades is the card of highest value.

[prole]

Oh good lord, go away.

[prole]

Sorry, that was cold. It's just that I was hoping to see some atrocity photos and I think you might have ruined it.

[tvashtarkatena]

I'll forgive you...

 

 

 

...but you've got to suck it, first.

[tvashtarkatena]

Oh, and suck this:

 

[prole]

Chilling. Gristly. Provocative. Got one in black and white?

I have to agree with Prole on this one. What the fuck is this "race card" that's getting "pulled"?

 

[No. 13 Baby]

"The race card" is white folks whining when they have nothing substantive to say.

 

I didn't expect McCain to fall back on this so early. The sight of Obama speaking before 200,000 American-flag-waving Euros last week while McCain met with 7 old ladies at a Safeway in Des Moines must've been too much to bear.

[Fairweather]

Actually, it's Obama that's being accused of pulling the race card. Current events ADD?

[mattp]

Are you ignoring the obvious again, Fairweather? We've seen a lot more about how Obama is muslim and swore in on the Koran and his wife is not proud of white America than we have about how he's being mistreated on account of his skin color. Clearly, it is those who favor McCain who have been playing the race card the most aggressively.

This is a bullshit thing to say Pat, on a lilly white middle class puke board like this

[Bug]

Yeah, Pat.

Get back to your congenial, centered self.

 

WHY DO YOU ENCOURAGE HIM?!

[kevbone]

The really funny thing is when McCain called Obama an elitist and that he is out of touch…..WTF. McCain, the guy wearing the $500 loafers who owns 7 houses and has a hard time getting onto the internet is calling the guy who owns 2 houses and has a blackberry out of touch……

 

 

ahahahahahah

Wow! An intelligent post by KB! Knock me down with a feather!

[tvashtarkatena]

Here ya go, Prole. The abdomen and thorax were attached only by the spinal cord at first, but the creature's desperate gyrations eventually snapped it.

Right, but Obama was the one who said he was going to be "post-racial" (whatever the fuck that is) and NOT bring race into the race. Yet, he has repeatedly over recent days.

[tvashtarkatena]

Imagine: the writhing, twitching lower half of your body connected only by a stretching spinal cord.

. . . and mcsame's people are whining about it.

 

Not a difficult concept to grasp. Did your mom drink a lot when you were in utero?

[prole]

So let me get this straight: "Playing the race card" is what happens when someone mentions race. We don't want that. Then when someone does mention race they can be accused of playing said card as a kind of rebuke so that no one mentions race again. Sounds like America needs to enter a 12-step program.
