Stop Saying That Black People Use The “Race Card”

Why is our oppression a “card?”

I got pissed the other day.

I listened to a podcast by TMZ. They talked about Kanye West. It’s been trending all over Twitter.

To keep it short, Kanye is airing Kim Kardashian’s dirty laundry online because of their divorce. During that online rant, Kanye mentioned how the Kardashian family is trying to bring him and other black men down.

The TMZ podcasters said he used the “black card” a split second after they read his statement.

For the record, I’m definitely not a fan of Kanye’s antics. I don’t follow him on social media.

But there’s something to be said about white people nowadays accusing black people of “using the black card” whenever we have legitimate concerns about racism.

Umm…racism still exists today.

It pissed me off that people took the uprising after George Floyd as the freedom fight to eradicate all racism.

Now I get it. Some black people take it too far. If you accidentally get a black person the wrong drink at a restaurant and they call racism, that’s just ridiculous.

But Kanye, for example, makes a good point about the Kardashians. They do manipulate and control black men and steal from black women.

There’s a cesspool of their horrible history online. But since it came from Kanye…no one can take the statement seriously.

Why isn’t this same “black card” rhetoric applied to other people of color?

Is there an Asian card? Is there a Hispanic card? Is there a Native American card?

Why are black people the only ones with a card? And why is it automatically assumed that we’re using our struggles as black people to gain sympathy?

You can’t do that.

You can’t undermine the legitimate struggles of millions of black folks because one of us decided to use “the black card” after you didn’t let them into an R-rated movie when they are underaged.

Black people aren’t a monolith and we shouldn’t be treated as such.

So please, don’t reduce our struggles down to “the black card.”

If we have a black card, then white people permanently have a wild card (a white privilege card), and that trumps the black card any day.
