If she wasn't playing the race card, then what was the purpose of "as a black man?" Stating fact isn't necessarily "playing the race card."

Black men are no more likely to be shot going to the gas station than white men, other things being equal. That's a fact...Obama hangs out in nicer neighborhoods than I do. There was no reason to introduce "as a black man," into the conversation unless she thought there was a reason.
If you don't want to accept that, fine. I think you're in denial, naive or disingenuous, but in America you have that right.
