The focus on the two or three rather than the 600 is an example of how we sometimes ignore positive news in order to play the race/victim card. Eventually we'll come to understant it's a low card with little value.

Man, you are a living example of the danger of propoganda. You don't seem to give any real thought to your responses, they all seem to be bytes from Fox News. White or black you should know that you are supporting a political ideal that supports backward ideas and should be abolished. How can any self respecting black man even entertain this "play the race/victim card" bull?
whattheHE!!doesthatmean?! Race card when they call these kids (could be yor kid one day) Ho's, and then this shock-jock has the temerity to blame rap artists as if they told him what to say.
"....in my opinion the hate e-mails aren't even worthy of news coverage."
I guess reporting on James Byrd being dragged and beheaded was playing this invisible race card and was a waste of good journalistic space too huh?
You are apparently of the mind that many in this country are gravitating to; A FACIST mindset where the government can't do wrong and this country remains great despite its attrocities.
But if I had to give it one word, one word to explain this new Neo-Con attitude, I'd call it prissy.
Too prissy to take responsibility for your actions?

Focusing on two or three hate mails when the basketball players received 600 supportive e-mails IS playing the race card. It's classic Victimology 101.

Very strange. No one wrote anything about James Byrd. Moving on...

More strange stuff. No one wrote anything about this country's "attrocities."

But if I had to give it one word, one word to explain this new Neo-Con attitude, I'd call it prissy.

What "actions"? What does that have to do with the Rutgers basketball team?

Please, don't feed the trolls. Hasn't everyone figured out by now what his agenda is?

Well, he does make a point. It is somewhat misleading to suggest they were receiving hate mail when it was only three. I do agree that three is too many and I cannot imagine what those racist fools who wrote the three were thinking. But the head line does tend to suggest that there was a reasonable number of hate emails received when in fact it could be counted on one hand with three fingers.

I'd be willing to bet that only three got hate mail because those were the only names or email addresses those haters could get.

Nevertheless, one or one hundred, its the issue spewing of hate, backing negative racist behavior that should be noted, not whether or not these kids played an imaginary "race card".

Is there a numerical requirement for it to be what it is?
