The Race Card

I have had it with all of the accusations of racism that have been so flippantly thrown around over the last few weeks (and months for that matter). No individual gets a pass because of their gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, height, color, family pedigree, academic achievements, or anything else of the sort. If someone, be it the president or anyone else, supports a position or an idea then we have every right to disagree or agree based on the substance of said position or idea. The notion that anyone is racist because they disagree with someone of a different race is absolutely absurd and exposes the shallowness and insecurity of the accuser.

This is a purely political attack and I resent every single bit of it. To be frankly honest it is both immature and disrespectful to say that people are racist when they criticize someone with whom they have an honest disagreement. And the truth of the matter is the disagreements we are having in our country right now are of great import and consequence, and to result to playing the race card when the moment you begin to lose political momentum is a shameful act of desperation.

The true measure and character of a man or woman is on full display during times of difficulty and tumult, and we are justified in using that measure to form our opinions on how fit someone is to lead us or not. I believe there are many who currently hold positions of power who are weak and unfit to lead, and this latest attempt to demonize those who oppose them only serves to affirm this belief.
