Here's one way I knew we weren't going to be post-racial after last January. I expected that throughout this year and beyond, when white people criticized Obama with any degree of spunk, there would be people speculating as to whether racism had anything to do with it.
It didn't take long. Many found the sputtering anger of the people protesting at town hall health care meetings suspiciously high-pitched. Maybe, but we can't be sure racism was at the root of it discussions of Social Security in 1930s were pretty fierce too.
