What Ever Happened to Post-Racism? {BARF Alert]
Huffington Post ^ | March 23, 2015 | Al Sharpton

Posted on 03/23/2015 2:37:28 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

During the last few years, from Trayvon Martin to Eric Garner's painful words of "I can't breathe", to Ferguson, to voting rights and more, we as a nation continue to deal with issues of race - and more specifically racial inequality - in the areas of criminal justice, voting, housing, education, health care and just about every area of life. In the last two weeks alone, National Action Network (NAN) and I have been contacted from people in Madison, Wisconsin about an unarmed teenager killed by police, from others about a student at the University of Virginia who was allegedly brutally beaten by cops and from folks concerned about Fort Lauderdale police officers who are accused of using racial slurs in text messages and making a troubling mock movie trailer. We were even contacted by reporters asking about Starbucks' recent campaign to engage in a conversation about race. But if memory serves me correctly, in 2008, when the first African American President was elected, it was widely heralded that we were somehow now in a 'post-racial' era. So much for that talking point......

Post-racism has morphed into ‘Pay up YT’ staffed with shock troops from BRA(Black Run America) and funded by DWL(Distinguished White Liberals).

A larger group of the larger group did more than the larger group of the smaller group.

from January 8.;...2008

NPR Senior News Analyst Daniel Schorr observes the ascendance of Barack Obama as a presidential candidate and wonders whether the U.S. is entering a new, “post-racial” political era.

this is the earliest date for using the term “post racial” Ive found thus far

Daniel Schorr ...2008

It isn’t the NATION that’s dealing with race, it’s the DemocRAT Party that’s dealing with race - and using it to batter anyone and everyone who does not conform to their prescribed mantras about anything racial:

White: Guilty
Black: Innocent

Really?

Hey Al,

You never let a post racial America occur. It was pretty good under Dubya. I don’t remember any of the nonsense we have now. Now with your white black Obama in office you, he, and your ilk have stirred up black racism like never before. You make too much money NOT having blacks angry at the rest of the nation. The rest of the nation moved on. No one cared about skin color except hard core leftist progressives and YOU, Al.
