No...what I wrote is merely a sampler of games people play, Mike. It easy to play the race card and people do it all the time. It doesn't mean that if I play the race card on you, you are a racist. But often, when a person do play the race card, it is their effort to pin a label on you and it is unfair and unjust. Miss. Thrope comments on racism in our nation was this :  "racism in EuroAmerican culture is deep and unconscious" but by saying that all Euro-Americans are guilty of some sort of racism, it unfair and unjust. Now you defended Miss Thrope even although she just called you a racist. Not being white, I don't understand why some white folks like to be metaphorically flogged. Irony of this discussion between you and me is that I think white folks are not racist as Miss Thrope believes and you, a white guy, think you are a racist as Miss Thrope believes. That is the reason why we are discussing this??
