You see, in this Reaganite era a change we must make is in the media defaming those anti-racists speaking out against racism as "playing the race card". For decades, anti-racist speech has been censored by the Press through this sleight of hand. We live in a "post-racial" society, supposedly. So, the word "racist" is never used ,except perhaps rarely to describe some person of color protesting _against_ racism. Things are so twisted that almost the only thing called "racism" by Big Brother Press are acts or statements of anti-racism. For corporate journalists, that is"playing the race card", "reverse racism". In the infamous US Supreme Court case of _University of Caifornia vs Bakke_ , way back in 1978, affirmative action to attain racial equality, the only way equality can be achieved, was slandered as violating protections of racial equality that are provided in the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution (wow, that's a mouthful; I'm a lawyer; smiles) This began more than 30 years of denying the existence of racism anymore. The narrative has been that the racial playing field is now level , and we have achieved a "post-racial" or colorblind society , in no need of affirmative action remedies to overcome historically instituted inequality between whites and people's of color.
