Playing the race card is ass backwards

This up and coming election has really drawn my attention towards those who play the race cards in politics or when it comes to debating politics. When you accuse Mitt Romney and other conservatives like me of being racist based on no other proof besides the fact that we vehimnitly disagree with this President and his policies, you dilute the history and experiences of people who truly suffered from our horrendous past with civil disobedience. There is but one race and that is the human race. Playing the race card in todays society is foolish because the dealer is the one who is in fact being the racists. If we want to extinguish racism entirely than we must punish those who truly discriminate, but also diminish the act of labeling those we oppose as racists.

You are just angry because your exgirlfriend dumped you for a black guy with a bigger dick than you.

Its priming below your cognitive threshold. Drive in theatres used to splice pictures of cheese burgers between frames of film. You'd think you're watching a movie but half way through you're hungry as fuck.

Certain combinations of words have been studied to have a similar affect (angry + black = isolate). The words are used in a speech to convey one point, but purposely chosen since they sometimes appeal to a different unconscious point as well.

He's not saying we're all racist. He was pointing out that Romney's using a questionable psychology trick. As to its effectiveness, that's also questionable.

Both Republicans and Democrats have been known to use them. The guy's not gonna call out his own party on TV though.

I seriously doubt that Romney purposefully said that with the intent of establishing an unconscious point.

What I don't understand is why race is even an issue. Like, why can't people just look at it as a characteristic? Like hair color, eye color, etc. People never discriminate based on that, its always just been skin color. What makes it any different?

Does that make sense?

Political strategists get paid alot of money for things like that... I think the whole ordeal is a load of crap truthfully. I wasn't saying I agree, but he probably knew what he was doing.

America doesn't need to be conservative, there needs to be some real action in taking back America.

Agreed, Romney isn't smart enough to know to do this, or anything like that.

They get away with it because they are so far out of the spotlight that no one pays attention to it (and because he's a bit of a nut job). Al Sharpton was getting like 2 percent of the vote at each stop when he ran for president. Romney is the Republican nominee and thus is held to a higher standard
