This case might be an example but there is no evidence to conclude that. Crying "Wolf" without knowing the facts can only serve to delay the advent of a post-racial society. Your article was so unconvincing that my first reaction when I read it was that you might be a right wing agent provocateur.<br /><br />Robert C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-84567502398086552722009-08-04T09:45:52.934-05:002009-08-04T09:45:52.934-05:00Powerful commentary that many people probably don&...Powerful commentary that many people probably don't want to hear.

I agree with you that - as with the 'End of Art' and 'End of History' and 'End of Politics' debates - the post-racial society myth is not only unfounded, but papers over the actual and continued racism that seems to be built into American society (and the rest of the world).<br /><br />The day I read your piece (Aug 1st) I saw a photo-exhibition in Birmingham UK called 'Obama's People', based around photos by Nadav Kander. Maybe you've already seen the photos, but here's my write up anyway, in which you're mentioned:<br /><br />http://witackman.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-68804015209225636072009-08-03T10:21:04.978-05:002009-08-03T10:21:04.978-05:00Even so, mainstream America may have been able to ...Even so, mainstream America may have been able to continue to ponder whether the majority of America is now post-racial if it were not for the pesky fact that America regularly demonstrates that it is not a post-racial society.<br /><br /><br />Best quote ever.bgkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404919636052867325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-53600445886537468612009-08-02T17:26:38.225-05:002009-08-02T17:26:38.225-05:00Fabulous - congratulations!
