Post-Bullshit Society.

Post-racial society is a new piece of bullshit you hear and see a lot in the news since Barack Obama's election. That is complete horse anus and the only people you hear saying it are lame, cowering white conservatives who want nothing more than for a serious dialogue about race to never, ever happen. To them, the election of the first African American president is like a get out of jail free card that excuses them from ever having to acknowledge and discuss white, european society's atrocious record of treatment towards other races to the victims of that oppression.

Thank god for people like Eric Holder. The major news networks are so far up their own assholes to even consider the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder wants this country to move beyond its racial past and into the future. Anyone who seriously wants to live in a "post-racial" society knows that the election of America's first black President is not the end of the discussion, merely the opening of a door to a deeper, more honest discussion of race relations in this country.

I was raised with none of the racism of my forebears, as were many young Americans. The segregation and open racism of our grandparents' generation is a reality none of us who were born in the 80's and beyond can begin to understand. We grew up with the Cosbys etc. without any understanding of how historic and unprecedented the shows were. We were the first generation to grow up in America without the cloud of societal racism that even our parents lived with hanging over us. So what better generation could there be to have a frank discussion about our racially segregated past than the one currently coming of age?

Just a suggestion. But I, like Eric Holder and many other people in this world, am looking forward to making a country for our children which is without prejudice.
