    OK Romper Room is in and I'm out. Do me a favor, will the last person leaving the thread please leave me the race card definition. I'd like to know what it is without the bullshit graphics.

    Read the race card for that info.

    Throwing up race as an all-purpose defense, excuse or giving a free pass regardless of whether or not it applies to the situation.
    IE: You're picking on Michael Vick because he is black and not because he raised dogs to kill other dogs as sport.

    When you defend someone based not on their guilt or innocence but because of the color of their skin or ethnicity, that is playing the race card.

    Much better definiton that is a media contrived expression. I'm in the street in various circles. I have yet, and I'm being honest here, heard anyone say "that's the race card" other than journalists. That strikes me as somewhat odd.

    Boots I can see why you defend Rhoden. You both have little credibility when discussing race issues. In fact you have little credibility on virtually anything that you post. At some point in every post you make the name "boots' conjures up the unsettling image of your neighbor bracing herself against her chair as you prepare to pole her in the ass.

    Yeah, OK. Look, I don't ask people on the street if I have credibility. I don't ask people in this industry if I have credibility. Those who know me, know I have that so it is not an issue.
    But what does that have to with Bill Rhoden's column on Willie Randolph? I fail to see the correlation.
