Funny thing. I've always envisioned the "playing the race card" metaphor in terms of a game of Uno, with some people just quivering to slap down that 'draw-four wild.'

It turns out, courtesy of the Daily Show, there is a whole different way to look at it.

I do have to wonder about the premise, as presented in the video, that the card isn't valid during a black presidency. I'm still of the opinion that the administration is just doing their very best to withhold playing it/swiping it, until the re-election campaign.

I am deeply offended by this sketch. And by offended, I mean laughing my ass off.
