Post Racial….

Since Barak Obama’s election a few truths have become apparent. Many of them I’d rather not state simply because they’d cut too deeply for some people, and if I’d ever change my mind and want to get into politics I wouldn’t want these words used against me during my campaign!
But seriously can someone explain to me what the f’ post racial means? I really don’t get it. I am assuming it is intended that america is now in place where it beyond racism. I’d call BS on that one.

Maybe its because thoughts on race are out in the open? Umm I still don’t think thats it.
The fact that a black president can get elected where blacks are still apart of the minority must be it. But what does that represent? I’m going to stay on the look out to understand it but in my opinion based on what I can gather – post racial is another way of saying I’m not racist but I can say ridiculous and absurd things with out worry of penalty….

I think it has something to do with the “color blindness” that is becoming more and more prevalent in society. Because I see no colors, I can comfortably say whatever I want to you with no tact regarding past circumstances (Just get a job! I don’t care if you grew up in Compton). Rather than accepting differences in cultures and responding with tolerance, we are ignoring differences altogether, which leads to some weird twilight zone bullshit where we(minorities) are treated with even more intolerance because of the inability to understand differences that can arise out of inequitable upbringings, prejudice, and cultural heritage.
that sounds a lot like the 80’s conservative movement! LOL

To sum up my view of post-racial America: Clarence Thomas. He is the most anti-black black man I have ever seen.
