Your premise is only correct that there is a problem with addressing the racism of the issue if there IS no racism with the issue.

A quick perusal of anti-Arab comments even on this forum would prove you wrong.

It is not 'using the race-card' if racism actually is a part of people's decision making process............and it most decidedly is for some.

Jesse Jackson, et al, 'use the race card' because they call things racism that are not. Noting the racism of some who are opposed to dealing with Arabs in any way because of their race, or worse, calling for their deaths, is not.

If there's anyone out there saying "kill all the Arabs", they should be disregarded.

But I am confident that if it was President John F. Kerry in the White House, you and all of the other Republicans vigorously defending this deal would be on OUR side opposing it just as vigorously.
