15. Disagreeing is one thing. Accusing those who disagree of "playing the race card" is another
I certainly don't expect everyone to interpret every incident the same way. What I do object to is having mine and others' views dismissed, degraded and diminished as, not an honest, rational opinion, but as an attempt to invoke victimhood as a tactic for unfair advantage. So I'm calling that out for what it is. Expressing an opinion that race is behind certain words and actions isn't "playing the race card." But consistently accusing people of "playing the race card" in order to stomp on and invalidate such opinions is playing the "You're playing the race card" card and I'm calling it what it is.
