Do righties play the race card?
The evidence is in. The bulk of race or ethnicity related threads are initiated by the righties. I searched for various key words and looked at only the first page of the search results. (I would have provided the links to the search results, but I think those links fail rather quickly. At any rate, you can do the same searches. Do "Search Titles Only.")
I searched for the word "Muslim":
- Muslim Threats force out disabled teacher with dog. cupofjoe1962
- McCain is a Muslim. Wildo7
- Obama backed Muslim extremist cousin in Kenya. FreeTedWilliams
- Muslim riots in France turn barbaric. Real World
- Muslim Award. Harry Boy
- Muslim Fascists--God--Mary--Jesus. Harry Boy
- Radical Muslim gets job at Andrews AFB. FreeTedWilliams
- A Muslim 'Mafia'? patsfan13
- Another Scumbag Muslim Heard From. QuiGon
I searched for the word "race":
- This thread. Patters
- Here Comes The Race Card. Harry Boy
- Imus in trouble again for race comments. cupofjoe1962
- Obama Wouldn't Be Where He Is But For Race. a.paul
- BOOK: WRONG ON RACE ... The Democratic Party's Buried Past. F.B.N.
- Bronx students discuss Obama's race speech. weswelker#83
- Supreme Court Throws out Death Row Verdict Race and issue. GJAJ15
- More KKKlinton Race Baiting. QuiGon
- Barack Obama's Race Problem: White Liberals. F.B.N.
- Media Reporting and Race. Real World
- Race. wistahpatsfan
- Race Riot. Harry Boy
I also searched for "black," "racist," "homosexual," "gays," and got similar results.
Knowing that I posted a handful of threads, I also searched for Christians, religion, and even Cosby, as well as several other terms that are often divisive. It certainly appears that the righties see the world as us vs. them. It's the righties who bring race and ethnicity into the conversation, and we can expect them to do the same in the General Election. Obama's right on this one.

Re: Do righties play the race card?
Don't forget my thread about Obama/Race was quoting the founder of BET saying it.

Re: Do righties play the race card?
Jesus, I thought my name would be in all of them but it was only in three of them, does that mean I'm not a racist---
"oh holy prince barry may i have a picture taken with you"
"sure, but take your scarf off"

Re: Do righties play the race card?
Not being afraid to discuss issues in the world around us does not equal "playing the race card". Seems to me Obama is playing the race card, he's the one who said "he's black"; never heard McCain say that.

Instead of saying "righties or republicans" can't we just call them "THEY"?

Another one? It's the one you listed "Obama wouldn't be where he were...."
I copied the title directly from the title of the news story.

Well, my point is, Obama is right when he says that the right will bring up his race. Not directly, of course. Righties are clever. I will give them that.

Talking about "race" is a little different than what you just said.
