*** Once we come to realize that the so called " Race Card " has been misused and caused many problems in the country and the world! Sad that people do not learn to seek and accept the truth! ***

Here is a good view on the Race word!

===============================================

From a Blog by Barb Stotler
I HAD to share Jim Pinto's comment from my post regarding Oprah's racism....Excellent...Thanks, Jim!!

"I always must challenge ppl to go to an actual Websters Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary - one not published too, too recently and know the basic definition of racism.

The # ONE definition of racism
"belief that human races have distinctive characteristics that determine their respective cultures; usually involving the idea that ones own race is superior and has the right to rule others."

Some versions put a period after the first part even. It's loaded, but this classic definition is no where NEAR the constant misuse of the word today. By that definition:
I find then that many blacks have taken upon themselves that they have distinctive characteristics - and that all blacks must BE like they are - or they're not accepted.

I find that the frequent 'accusatory' use of the word by blacks OR by whites towards whites who oppose the President, serves to divert attention to the important reasons those people oppose him. I find that people like Oprah here, like Sharpton and others love to use the word to create the impression in the minds of everyone, and especially blacks - that Hate for blacks drives the Opposers of Obama.

I find those who listen and agree are willfully choosing to be ignorant of the fact that there are many conservative blacks who are just as or even more vehemently outspoken with their opposition to Obama. So Oprah - shut the hell up and get a life.

OH I forgot - you have a life, a life bigger and richer and with more power and more wealth and more things and more connections and more privilege and more prestige, etc etc etc, than the vast majority of whites and almost 100% of blacks."

*** What do you think has happened?
