Post-racial America?

"The adults in the church sanctuary were itching for a fight, eager to redress years of indignities absorbed growing up black in San Diego."

Dear friends,

A few weeks ago, I posted the link to an article about a noose being hung in a library on a California campus. Since then, Sandy Banks of the Los Angeles Times has written a thorough piece regarding the whole issue of racism on that whole campus just mentioned, and the valiant work of African American students to counter it (the aforementioned racism). Is it a surprise that incidents of racism have been getting more frequent and vicious, beginning with the successful campaign and now the presidency of Barack Obama? Meanwhile, there are those who still quite foolishly use the term “post-racial America". On the link below, at least to me, there is adequate information to refute that claim.
