No - this is just the direction these issues ALWAYS go when differentiating between races (or any other demographic).

And I just cannot have respect for anyone who uses the race card to get people on board for a plan. Social Security is in dire need of an overhaul (actually it needs to be scrapped in favor of a totally private system...but that's a fight for another day). Playing the race card is simply an act of desperation that should never be played.

"Playing the race card is simply an act of desperation that should never be played."

I don't see it as playing the race-card nor desperation. I see it as a truth that needs to be hammered in order to overcome the resistance of the left & democrats. To win the day so to speak.

For instance, (I know I'm going off a bit but stay with me), the people who would benefit most from school vouchers are low-income, urban blacks. It is they that suffer the most from lefty-democratic-NEA-government lock on education. The folks really clamoring for school-vouchers are low-income urban blacks. But they also happen to be overwhelmingly democrat & do you think for one day that they're going to get something from them that will actually make their lives easier/better? No way Jose'. If the conservative-right can get through the wedge-of-truth in order to separate the the NEA from the urban-black so we all benefit from vouchers, well & good. The same goes for Social Security: giving them & all the truth is not race baiting. Tailoring the message is not race-baiting.

Telling them that conservatives, Republicans & Christians are trying turn the clock back to the pre-Civil Rights era, is (IMHO).
