Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Eggboy has a name. It’s Will Connolly.  It's the egging that's gone around the world. Bands and festivals have offered a lifetime of free tickets to a teen who cracked an egg into the back of an Australian senator's head, after the politician blamed Muslim immigration for the Christchurch terrorist attack. The likes of hip hop festival Rolling Loud have offered "eggboy," as the teen has become known, free tickets for life, as have bands like The Amity Affliction and Violent Soho. "Eggboy" has understandably shied away from the public spotlight since the egging, despite his burgeoning popularity. A video of the teen speaking out after the incident has been making rounds on social media.  #whytheracecardisplayed

(CNN)In recent years, much of the racial news in America has been sobering, if not depressing. Trayvon Martin. Tamir Rice. Walter Scott. Ferguson. Baltimore. And Charlottesville. While many public commentators, like Ta-Nehisi Coates, have underlined the enduring character of racism in America, and the ways in which America's racial divide has exacted a particular kind of toll on black men and boys, there is today, unheralded, good news about African-American men.
