when will blacks stop playing the race card?

do they not realize that constantly claiming that they deserve special treatment, or that they are being treated unfairly, blacks serve only to rekindle racism?

im a white male. i dont look at blacks, or any other race differently UNTIL THEY CONTINUALLY POINT IT OUT.

i just dont understand...im honestly not racist. but when they accuse others of racism (where it is obviously not present or intended) they only serve to separate themselves from the rest of the human race.

how and when will this stop?

Update:

why does anything i just said make me seem racist?

perhaps you too are crying wolf?

please point out what i said that was racist.

Update 2:

perhaps it was when i divulged that i am a white male?

Update 3:

blacks do play the race card...as do whites in the defense of blacks if it serves to further their agenda. do you all disagree that blacks do indeed point out racism where it is not present?

Update 4:

i can see how the wording in my question might imply generalization.

however, when i say "blacks playing the race card"...i am referring only to the blacks that play the race card.

Update 5:

trying to be smart?

by making what i said more clear for those who asked?

would it have been more intelligent to not clarify my statements?

also...one more time for you Kat.

look at this collection of words: Blacks playing the race card.

who do you think i was referring to? perhaps...just maybe...blacks that play the race card? that is clearly what i said.

thanks for the constructive criticism.

Update 6:

and to steel:

yes, by denying that im racist i make it clear that i am. (as i do in the additional details i assume you speak of)

does this mean that i non-racist would admit that he is racist in this situation?

Update 7:

thanks bj...i suppose i should.

honestly, blacks are not numerous where i live, but i do have black friends, some of whom i love dearly.

those who have something to gain from the presence of racism will never allow it to die.

i think im done guys and girls. i hope you guys give this some thought.

nightnight brothers and sisters.

Update 8:

oooo one more thing for everyone to observe.

look at the likes/dislikes in relation to the answers tone.

those who make comments that are blatantly racist are supported strongly.

those who sought to defuse the situation are disliked.

interesting huh?

Update 9:

ill never make it out of here.

kat, i will not metaphorically dance anymore.

i see your points and acknowledge them. i had not given thought to this my statements being viewed as "blanket" type.

i hope only that you will be objective enough to see my intent, which was not to encourage generalization.

but your right! the question was rhetorical. very good. i just wanted to draw attention to the issue...as SOME blacks do from the other side of the argument.

i only received the attention of 14 individuals though...so i cant say it was a success.

i did learn how sensitive some individuals are though. so i got something from the answers that i might not have known otherwise.

Update 10:

also! i was not directly responsible for the thumbs down that seems to have emotionally injured you so seriously. i cannot yet like/dislike answers.

Update 11:

and kat, you only got three thumbs up because you did not make blatantly racist statements. look at those with more than 10 ups. perhaps you should spout off some hate speech about how whites hate everyone and must be eradicated from the earth in order to bolster support

    When whites stop rigging the deck.

    Edit: This from the people who blame Jews for the fact they can't run a country, Mexicans for the fact that YOU exploit THEIR labor, Natives for the fact that you took their land and destroyed their communities, blacks for the fact that you flooded our neighborhoods with drugs, guns, abortion clinics, toxic waste sites, give us twenty percent longer sentences but claim we commit more crime, used mass incarceration as a response to all the gains of the Civil Rights Movement, and blame Arabs for the fact that you people don't know how to but out of other country's business. But we "play the race card". White hypocrisy knows no limits.

    No. She's top. How naive of Obama to think of that unlawful immigrants have no consequence on taking jobs away. She under no circumstances stated blacks might desire to be outraged - she stated that illegals are stealing jobs. What you're writing is deceptive and slanderous. it is common experience and any candidate up there might have stated the comparable ingredient with a million/2 a ideas. supply me a thumbs down - provided which you actual think of that no black person everywhere is dropping a activity to an unlawful who will artwork for much less.

    You were generalizing blacks.That is way the users are calling you racist.

    Learn the difference between SOME AND ALL Then maybe some users will start to agree with you.

    No offense but you do sound racist.I'm racist so i know racism when i see it.And most of the white racist i've seen on the internet spout the same nonsense written in your additional details.

    Dude,Its your own fault,alright?Now if you'd ask "why do some blacks play the race card",you would have gotten better answers.

    Lmao,so now you magically know what's racist?

    ."i am referring only to the blacks that play the race card." And how are we suppose to know this. I think you're trying to be smart.

    EDIT: Im referring to your initial statement in bold genius and hence referencing your later point. Your question should have posted "Why do some blacks use the race card when its not to their best interest".

    If I post "Why are white people racist" Will you be able to distinguish some or all?... This is not proper structure as it is a blanket statement.

    EDIT: SO I made a racist statement? *Where* x 3 thumbs up,. Smart logic there internet genius.

    Source(s): But Im sure you'll dance around this too. Thanks for the thumbs down. Im sure you have it all figured out, why ask a question you seem to know oooohh so well.

    when?

    best guess.

    it is funny when it works the other way, isn't it?

    they claim the ' right to kill '; is part of their racial-heritage since they came from slaves;. and wouldn't you kill your slave owners, too?

    when the tides-turn and you have to defend yourself, it does not get any funnier.

    when 98% of the community is christian; then, 98% of the crime is simply christian-on-christian crime.

    it is pretty obvious where the problem is; it is in ignoring the deeper truths and looking at your superficial person (skin-color), and ignoring the deep-stain of your religious beliefs.

    Bob, by their very statements to you they are playing the race card and do not deserve your time. The guilty will protest the loudest. Forget them and concentrate your efforts on good black people.

    its meant to be permanent. there will never be a time when the past didnt happen. until they stop hating white people, white people will always be expected to take personal responsibility for everything that has ever happened, and everything they are unhappy with today.

    at least until mixed race people entirely supplant the "african american" community in a few generations... and new black immigrants no longer feel an affinity and stop getting swallowed up by their mentality of hate and perpetual victimization. then it will be mixed race people playing the race card.

    fyi, you are inherently racist for even saying black people play the race card.

    Yeah, the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome. It actually hurts the case of REAL victims of racism when the bullsh!+ claims happen so often. I mean, for fvck sake, people tried to make MICHAEL VICK out to be a victim of racial prejudice.
