Dr. Kings Race Card: What American History Forgot To Inform You I am Black and I am Proud. I am Black and I am Beautiful. In the spirit of playing cards because I love Spades. Many folks refer to the race card, which assume they are to calling a spade a spade. But, little do they know that “calling a spade a spade” is a racial slur (npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2013/09/19/224183763/is-it-racist-to-call-a-spade-a-spade). Well, in a similar manner as calling a spade a spade the King Card continues to be misused without truly knowing it meaning. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. -Martin Luther King, Jr. Most people use the King Card to articulate the concept of colorblindness as if it a solution to ending racism. Colorblindness is a perpetuation of racism ( psychologytoday/blog/colorblind/201112/colorblind-ideology-is-form-racism) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was Black and Proud. He is not saying to dismiss the color of peoples skin, but see people for who they are, skin included, because it is an attribute of their character. Matthew 7:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? https://youtube/watch?v=Suw_CQ3zfTY
