Search Results: race card

Identity politics, victimhood, political correctness and if all fails pull out as a last resort the magic "race card" to guilt trip, manipulate, gain sympathy and get ahead by any means.

Someone posted a question about others playing the race card and I responded that feigning offense was one of the strategies of the left for groups to gain political recognition and power. I immediately drew a response from a user who called me "racist" for making that observation.

It occurred to me that some people engage in such responses as if they are sub-cortical reflexes that require no conscious thought, direction, or planning. That suggests that the left has done a very good job of programming young people to bear the torch of name-calling and hate. . . all, ostensibly, for the purpose of promoting the left's agenda of love, tolerance, and acceptance of all.

Do you think SJWs actually think about what they are doing or is this just a programmed response, like Pavlov's dogs salivating when they heard the bell ring? Is it possible that such blatant and obvious programming can work on such a large scale? So I repeat my question: does the name "Pavlov" ring a bell with you?
