What is Post-racial?
1.
An utterly imaginary and fictional term, much like "pixie-dust" because there is no such thing.
The idea of a post-racial America is comforting to many, yet that does not make the idea reality.
Maybe one day America will truly be post-racial but the election of an African-American president does not mean the nation as a whole has moved beyond all racial issues and racist points of view.
Maybe election of a Black president (defined as one descended from American slave ancestry) would move us even closer to post-racial.
