The phrase “playing the race card” came from many origins… I am amazed that certain members of society use it and believe that it is good logic! Everyone and everything spouts how we are all the same inside regardless of how we look on the outside – we are all equals. So, how is society really making this believable when they then portray how different we all are, how different we all should be treated? A good example is the OJ Simpson case that my indulgences have brought me to.
Roger Simon in The Daily Herald, October 1995:
“Why was playing the race card necessary in order for O. J. Simpson to go free? Because it was the only way for the defense to deal with the massive physical evidence against him.”
Does society think of this as it is OK to do this? Or that it is wrong to play the trump card which really has no meaning in the values that are supposed to be instilled in us since birth?
Am I considered racist for even mentioning this? …I’ve had outlandish remarks from the post about smoking. I want to make one thing clear – I do not promote in others to do anything that I post. What I post is meant to make you think, to make you investigate on your own an alternate reality to what you are accustomed to. The biggest problem I see in people is that even if given ample evidence to support the fact that their ideas are wrong – they immediately discard such valuable evidence. How about we “think outside the box” and open our minds to more than one possibility?
Well, then again, I’m asking too much of people. It doesn’t matter in the long run if you agree with me or not for the simple fact that either outcome is simply of no importance to me. These are the things I do not dwell on during the day because it will not guide me to be a better person if I continue to think about what I can do to trump everyone else. I would rather think about how I can prove my abilities without forcing others into submission by surface fronts. Therefore, I bypass this system of surface differences and only speak of evidence relating to the inner common core of people. It is always such however, even in the case of OJ, the evidence still does not always stand up to the race card.
