Now "the race card" is one of those classic expressions, and even though I know that you know that I know, I'm going to point out for the sake of clarity that while white people like to think that "playing the race card" means using the profagsor's universty-led PC jihad Kulturkamp-imposed Politically Correct sensibilities to one's advantage as a minority--in other words, accruing advantage because you're black or some such--what it really means is that on certain rare instances one's melanin content has failed to adequately diminish his prospects on the sociopoliticoeconomic ladder of our looney-bin, race-obsessed society. What it really means is that for once the cop forgot to shoot the dog, you know? That for once, some nigger had enough money to hire a decent Jew lawyer and beat the charge, that being a helium-filled black avatar of status-quo neoliberalism may, in fact, turn out to be a position of advantage when your opponent looks like he ought to be starring as a CGI effect in the next Brendan Frasier blockbuster.
