Why does Obama play the race card?

And why do Black people support him without knowing anything about him? Is it bc he's Black? I mean, if Obama was a white guy from Kansas, we all know Black folks would be voting for Hillary Clinton right now.

Why does Obama play the race card?
Obama plays the race card, and Hillary plays the b*tch card. They each go with that they got...
Reply:It works
Reply:Stop generalizing people.. I totally am against people supporting him solely on the fact that he is black..I support Obama for many reasons, none have to do with his race. And I think he started to play the race card then the media, and his opponents dealt it...And if Obama was a white guy from Kansas with the same views, personality and platform..He would have already beat Hilary to a pulp..











I think sometimes I am oblivious to the levels of racism that exist in our society. When I come on here its like coffee...a big wake up dose of caffeine....but whatever..everyone will get it one day...one day you will say it in front of the right person and it will result in a big b**** slap...
Reply:I am white and female and I support Obama. I know everything I need to know to vote for him and I know too much about Hillary to vote for her.
Reply:Dude people will take advantage. It is in human nature we have will do whatever we feel we need to do in order to gain what we want. Come on we live in a cruel world where people will crush you like a ant when you show signs of weakness. Don't believe me. Well just watch those insane t.v show that show you ONLY ONE PERSON CAN BE THE WINNER. Sorry i don't watch t.v anymore so I forgot all the show names.
Reply:In response to the MikeH answer, Maryland has 23 counties and is controlled by 3 of them, Baltimore county, Prince Georges county, and Montgomery county. These three are extreme left wing liberal and they control the state. Maryland is losing business because of the high taxes and all the liberal democrats. Republican Gov Ehrlich and Lt. Gov. Steele left the state in good condition and we had a surplus. Liberal Democratic Gov O'malley has spent all the surplus, raised the sales tax 20%, increased taxes on several other items as well as raised taxes on the wealthy, all in his first 2 years in office, and is looking for ways to raise taxes again. As a consequence business is hurting in Maryland. I hate tax and spend liberal democrats. The Democrats have to play the race card, because thats the only tool they have. They have no substance and are a bunch of ignorant liars, and Obama is a Liberal Far Left Wing Democrat.
Reply:He has no other cards maybe???????
Reply:Black people have been voting for white Democrats for a long time.





In Maryland they had to option to vote for a black Republican (rare) over a white Democrat.





They voted for the Democrat.





So they're voting for the candidate, not the race.
Reply:'cause that's all he's got.
Reply:Whenever he plays it it works.
Reply:Because he knows that his race is the only thing that has him on the race. Other than that he wouldn't even be known.
Reply:Excuse me, I must have been dozing . . . when did he use the race card? Oh right- never. Is the fact that he is Black an issue? Clearly since so many racist keep bringing it up.





Is he not supposed to talk about his life experiences? Because he has experienced life as a Black man. If no one is allowed to talk about what makes them unique than Clinton can't talk about being a woman, and McCain can't talk about being a POW. That would sound pretty fake to me.
Reply:Because he can! Don't be a hater. He will still lose to McCain!
Reply:Its simple...he can play it both ways..
