Why do black people love to play the racism card against whites? I work with a black woman and we had a?
-
disagreement, she went to my boss and accused my of being a racist! Her being black was the furthest thing from my mind, I treated her no different than I would have if she would had been white or purple for that matter. I just don't get it. Can anybody shed some light on this for me.

Answer:
I am sorry that happened to you. I do not think ALL black people pull the "race card". I am an educated black woman and would never do that. This is a very complex issue in our society today. Prejudice DOES exist as much as we think it doesn't and maybe that woman was just having a bad day. I hope you don't think all black people will treat you this way. Just be the bigger person and turn the other cheek. I know it's hard, but hopefully it will keep the next confrontation from occuring. Good Luck!!

I hate when people GENERALIZE! Just because some Black people "play the race card against white people" doesn't mean ALL of us do.

Because it seems nowadays if someone is labeled a racist, esspecially a white person than it is over for them (meaning careerwise in some situations). Not ALL black people are like that and play the race card all the time but SOME do ie my brother. People need to stop blaming things on skin color and just on the individual.

Whites use the race card too. They always use it on YA w/ stupid questions like why can't we say the "N" word or have a "Wet", even when they control most of the media and everything else for that matter. The point that I'm trying to make is everyone uses the race card when it serves their purposes. Doesn't make it right. But if there were no racism then the race card could not be used.
Welcome, to the real world!
When a white woman says: "Why black women be takin my white men" she's playing the race card. She couldn't get a date herself so she blames it on black women. You can't possiblysay that all black people play the race card. A few do, and so do a few whites, hispanics, asians, etc.

yeah, some people just do, and its not all. You simply have to just deal with this person, and to protect yourself, keep tabs on everything that happens so you can prove it wasn't racism.

you are an idiot, for asking such a question. you are not only putting all black women into one category, but have managed to put all black people into the same category. geez, what is wrong with you. after such a question, im not so sure i believe her being black was the farthest thing from your mind. true stupidity.

Just by asking this question, you established yourself as one of the people that have given her cause to be suspicious of your possible racism.You lumped her in a group of "Black people playing the racist card" Do you think that it is some kind of elite club? You are judging her and her actions by her color,and that my dear is RACISM..Go to the woman and apologise for your indifferance to her, and try to get to know her as a person.Not a person of color.

I think everyone does this to some extent...they play whatever they can to their advantage and you are generalizing your personal experience. I was once accused of antisemitism by a woman I was working with over the phone. I started to laugh and said how could I possibly be discriminating against her for being jewish when I couldn't even see her and had no idea she was jewish...she said I would know because of her name. I cracked up even more, and told her that I'm just not culturally aware enough to know her name was jewish.
