Obama’s First Anniversary Celebration
Obama has (almost) survived his first year in office unscathed—the anniversary of his election was Nov. 4–and how better to celebrate that than a bunch of juicy articles on racism….you know, that crisis, the mini-daily civil wars, most people thought he’d solve (before healthcare, before wars in distant lands) by entering the oval office. Do… Continue reading Obama’s First Anniversary Celebration

America: Post-Racial, Multiracial, Mixed Racial, Racist…
“Post-racial America.” I’m wondering if someone makes money every time someone in the news media uses that term. Is it copyrighted? Because honestly, if it is…cha-ching! You know how I feel about “post-racial America.” We’ve come a long way, baby, but we still have a long way to go. But enough about me. Let Melissa Harris-Lacewell… Continue reading America: Post-Racial, Multiracial, Mixed Racial, Racist…
