Post-Racial Society?

Too many people and news media believe that the election of Barack Obama officially ended racial discrimination in the US. Well, of course that's not true...not even remotely so. And I think more and more of the public is beginning to understand that...in large part because of the 'Gates' incidence and the obnoxious behavior of people protesting health care at various Town-hall meetings throughout the country. Rest assured if Obama was white the town hall meetings would take on a much more civil tone. No, the uproar is really about race at the end of the day. People who don't want to see a Black president are venting. Sad, but true.
