Why can't everyone stop the race card because even the innocent feel they can't even comment on anything?

I have been on many talk forums and right off the bat when you criticize Obama it becomes race and nothing else. If someone gets pulled over it is automatically because of race it seems. Yes, the professor being asked about going in to his own house may appear a little edgy but I would have no problem showing my ID for anything. Sure there are many people who don't throw the race card at you. That's not the ones I see. It's always the ones who spout trouble that get the publicity. I worked years ago with Walter Hood, a Black man who was a paratrooper in World War 2 and we could talk about anything. I feel that I have the right to criticize Michael Vick for fighting and killing dogs, Obama for his policies or lack thereof, or any person of any race without having to walk on eggshells and be fearful of being called a racist which goes on a lot. I had absolutely nothing to do with racism. I know the real meaning of it and there sure as hell is no way the White race is superior to any race. It doesn't add up at all. Of course I will never know what it was actually like to go through that. My co-workers asked me if I was ever made to feel like I was not a person. I honestly had to say no but there has to be some realization that there is always going to be some form of racism but that doesn't warrant all people for any comment or criticism of any race to be labeled racist.
