Sarah Palin Urges President Obama to stop “Playing the Race Card”

The former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin used her Facebook account in celebrating Martin Luther King Day by quoting King's speech.
"Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card," Sarah Palin said in her Facebook post.
The post was meant to urge Mr. Barrack Obama to "stop playing the race card".
She also followed the quote with her own message to Obama that says," 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."
The post also includes a photo of stone in front of Lincoln Memorial where Luther King addressed the march in 1963.
In an interview of The New Yorker with President Barack Obama, the president said that his rating lowered by 39 percent due to racism.
"There's no doubt that there's some folks who just really dislike me because they don't like the idea of a black president," president stated.
"Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I'm a black president," he added.
Palin's post is not the first time the president was accused of "playing the race card".
Also, on 2008, Obama, being the first African-American president of America has been accused of using his race to gather attention and votes to win the presidential campaign.
Sen. John McCain said during the presidential campaigns that Obama played the race card and "played it from the bottom of the deck". Also during that time, Obama said that GOP would use his color or race to keep people from winning the presidency.
