MLK said that a man should be judge by his character, not the color of his skin. That is an irrefutable axiom. Blacks often have to dispel the negative sterotypes, before they can move forward in any company or community. Even the ones with Ivy League degrees stamped on their chest. Now... back to the original issue.... We can progress to a better society, if one race is able to unfairly discriminate against race, or retaliate against that race, if that race speaks up for justice. It is a matter of simple fairness. Furthermore, a black man playing the race card is a news item. No one hears about the number of times that a black person is discrimanted against, but keeps his mouth shut, so he is not blackballed (no pun intended, or is not labeled a whiner. if you think that blacks call 'foul" all the time, you are sadly mistakened. Go ask a black person, if you know any that you feel comfortable enough to ask.
