DP has claimed that Obama was heckled at the State of the Union because he is black. DP has claimed that if Obama was white the republicans would work with him. DP has claimed that if Obama was white, there would not have been a birther movement against him.
What DP and many on the left do is try to use race to get some people to hate others in an attempt to bolster there political position and shame their opposition into silence. In doing so they raise racial tensions. When things explode...they claim they had nothing to do with it. Well from my perspective they did.
Probably because you don't see the issues until after the fact. It's not the first time I've noticed this tendency of yours.

Yeah, my discussing racial issues in America and our continued problem in how we treat certain people have caused all these problems. Travon Martin would still be alive today if only I hadn't shot my mouth off. I just feel so bad about it all now.
I think I'll write an open letter of apology immediately to the family of Travon Martin and the community of Ferguson. It's all my fault. By discussing openly whether America still has a problem with race and a continued existence of white privilege, I caused the death of Travon and the unrest in Ferguson. If only I had just acted like the conservative pundits and pretended we lived in a perfect post-racial society. Just by pronouncing it so, that would have made it so.
After all, the best way to deal with social problems in a society is to pretend they don't exist. Talking about it openly only makes it worse.
Don't forget to name-drop Rodney King's family, you little fucker.
