We can all acknowledge that racism still exists. However, these stories coming out of the NYT are ridiculous.
For a doctor, she sure doesn’t understand the phenomenon very well. Her Obama-euphoria subsided as she “started thinking about healthcare” she says. As if it just dawned on her that people carry their prejudices with them wherever they go.
Also noted was the phrase “Obama cool” in describing this young black doctor. I wonder what she thought of him before she heard of Obama? Was he just cool? Was he a dork? A sign that blackness in America will now be described with Obama-referenced terms and phrases.
“We can all acknowledge that racism still exists.”
Yes, the NAACP, LaRaza, The Black Caucus, The Hispanic Caucus et al. In perpetuity.
