No doubt it will. I agree 100%. Thing is, every time they have pulled the race card, fewer and fewer people care. The vast majority of people I have spoken with say flat out some version of “Let them call me a racist. It’s meaningless anymore.”

Sure, people do still fall for it, but as the election draws closer and more are accused falsely, I really think the tipping point will happen sooner than anyone expects - if we haven’t hit it already.

All it is doing is hardening people to thier BS; well that and hurting the black community. It’s the ‘cry wolf’ thing writ large. Unfortunately, when actual racism occurs, no one will really think it’s anything but more propaganda and write it off without giving the incident a fair hearing.

Personally, I have never considered myself racist towards blacks or anyone else. If I was, my lilly white self would be hard pressed to explain perfectly happy with my black son in law ;) But thanks to the Jessie Jacksons, Al Sharptons, Quannel X’s, Maxine Waters, the CBC, NAACP, the Obama’s and Jarret’s of this world, I just have a hard time getting worked up about racism anymore on nothing but a drooling claim made by a drooling idiot with a political agenda. And I think many unhyphenated “Americans” feel pretty much the same way. Regardless of their skin color.

I totally agree. I'm married 40 years to my American husband (or as the libs would call him - "latino"). He is the most conservative, anti-illegal immigrant person on the planet and hates when they lump all hispanics together.
