92. Race baiting is something that racists really do. And racists also use code words like "race card."
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 09:16 PM by Dr Fate
"Playing the race card" is a phrase designed to appeal to folks who dont like black people.

If someone would use a term like "race card"-a term invented by racists to be used to appeal to racists, then isnt that race-baiting?

Since when is accusing someone who uses racist code words of "race baiting" racist in itself?

Using racist code words IS race baiting, isnt it?

I've heard progressives accuse racists of race-baiting before- but I've never heard a progressive attack a black person by claiming that they were "playing the race card." I've only heard the Rush-bo types do that one- until now.

If Obama indicated that Hillary was up for race baiting, then her use of phrases invented BY and FOR racists proves him right.
