I read the thread on the Chris Matthews again pulling the race card. Just wanted to know if the democrats here actually believe we are all racist.
It's a good question to ask. The race card gets played at every turn and they never catch on that it's merely a difference in ideology and which path our country should take. Maybe some don't understand the difference in parties and the race card always works to get them riled up.
There has always been a sharp contrast in how each party approaches problems. It's nothing new and has nothing to do with race. Herman Cain is the exact opposite of Obama. Of course, the left shows racism when they assume that no black man can possibly be a Republican and they attack them, calling them puppets, Uncle Tom or worse. When it's assumed how a person should think, based on race, that is the very definition of racism. I think the reason they try to paint the Republicans as racist is to cover their own racism. How else could they get away with grouping people and assuming how they should stand on issues based on their color or ethnicity?
When any person steps outside of their assigned group, it surprises, or even angers some people. They refuse to take people seriously if they have what they feel is the inappropriate mindset and they belittle the person. Blacks who want smaller government and Hispanics who want secure borders don't really exist unless they've been been brainwashed. That attitude belittles some very intelligent people, such as Herman Cain or Thomas Sowell. I hate to see good people dismissed because they don't fit a certain mold.
