Yeah, so we have a black president and we are supposed to kick back and light up a fattie, because now everything is cool, right?
Not so fast, my brethren and sistren.
Every once in a while some fooligan will roll to you talkin’ some trash about how you discussing your racial background in a broader social context is a “back-handed maneuver.” They may even accuse you of “playing the Race Card” because you mention that life is different for you because you are…well…different.
Next time that shit goes down, be prepared.
Break out your RACE card™. Slam it down. BOOYAKACHA! Silence them and as their brains reel because you are so fucking awesome, you can gently school them in the fine art of removing their damn foot from their pie-hole and maybe get it through their skulls that you won’t be silenced by fauxtastic bogus arguments designed to undermine your experience.
The RACE card™ also comes in handy if you need to:
- Cut in line at banks.
- Remind underlings that, yes, you actually ARE “The Man.”
- Impress those with racial fetishes.
- Levy silent accusations at the staff in fine dining establishments.
- Have an “Oppression-Off” with other beleaguered “People Of Color”
Get yours today!

These are so awesome. So glad they got featured on boingboing, where people are having “triplets” over them.
Make a poster of this photo!
I bet you could do a hell of a “Please Mansplain To Me Some More” card set, too!

I saw this on boingboing!!! It’s awesome. You should partner up with Queen Latifah in that SNL commercial she did for Excedrin- Racial Tension Headaches
and the term “fooligan” made my day.

“Fooligan” should be defined henceforth as “someone dense enough to lecture one about one’s own experience.” And I love the visual of you standing in a restaurant just pointing the card at staff
I second the call for a poster of this!

Damn, that’s all kinds of awesome.
I have to second the girl who asked for the “Mansplain To Me Some More” card set; now those I could get some massive use out of.
Well Done.
