I agree that the very expression "playing the race card" is racist. Nice explanation.
As to the rest, I certainly appreciate what you're saying, but it's just too misanthropic for me.
That's not who I am.
I can see the point objectively, and I've this same point of conflict with other friends and allies, but it's just not me.

I just think it's too zero-sum and personally, I believe that zero-sum thinking is the greatest obstacle to world peace.
Honestly.

I addressed (or at least tried to) his/her criticism about my comparing Kate to Pastor Wright.
Go back and read it, it's there.
