As Democrats continue to try to play the race card, more and more American's are ignoring it. Victor Hanson observes in his article;

"....we
have devolved to the point where promiscuously crying "Bigot!" and
"Racist!" signals a failure to persuade 51 percent of the people of the
merits of an argument."

This leaves liberals in a pinch. Liberal policies are deeply unpopular, and liberal proponents aren't winning the political argument based on facts and results. In decades past even the hint of racism was enough to sway an argument in their direction. No longer. This has lead to even more screaming that those that opposed leftist governmental intrusion are racists.

The
more liberals scream, the more serious thinkers can be excused for
looking at liberal policies and asking "Why are liberals convinced that
minorities won't succeed without their brand of government help?". A
perfect example of this dichotomy was the school voucher program in
Washington DC that benefited poor and mostly black students, yet
liberals killed it. With that type or record, the best response to
liberal agitation about matters of race is simple and Shakespearean --
Methinks the liberal protests too much.
