Post-racial age?

[ErikJ]

I found this on a liberal website and somebody posted this

Post-Racial Age?
To everyone who says that since we elected a black president that racism is dead, I present you with this:

[Hoyt]

1. Hope authorities find the "free speech" asshole who did that.

[On the Road]

2. There Might be Some Slight Exceptions to Free Speech

when it appears to be a death threat against a sitting president.

[Hoyt]

6. I know. But the perp probably thinks he can get away with that crap.

Don't know how hard it is to track, but I hope somebody videos them if authorities do. Sure we won't be allowed to see it, though.

[On the Road]

7. He Probably *Can* Get Away with It

but the attention of the FBI might be a bit uncomfortable.

[Scootaloo]

3. Not to ruffle too many feathers...

But it seems to me that white liberals have been trying to convince themselves that racism is a thing of the past, for nearly fifty years now. I've run into too many who complain about "the race card" (Hell, go look at the Trayvon Martin threads on DU) and too few that acknowledge that the entire deck if cards is racism.

In the case of the president - among others - when the opposition has no rational reason for their hatred, one has to start looking at irrational reasons; racism tops that list.

16. Nah fuck that, ruffle as many feathers as you can.

4. Internet search for the name shows it was taken down and "weda peeple" missing from fb

which is good. And yes, peeple are racists indeed. I hope it got reported to the FBI

5. That Is Fucked Up

Where's the link?

[uppityperson]

9. It has been removed. I did an internet search on the name and he is no longer on facebook either.

[lonestarnot]

8. Doesn't look like free speech to me. And why is that here?

[Hoyt]

10. Where I'm from, people into that kind of junk think they have right to do

such crap. They also think it's moral to be a racist, so-called states rights rule no matter what, and similar BS .

Why do you think it's there?

[lonestarnot]

11. Not sure. That is why I was asking the OP.

[beyurslf]

12. In my experience, it is liberal white folks who think racism is dead

or that we live in a post racial society. just sayin...

[MADem]

13. That's shock content. You really should put that shit off-site

and give people a choice of clicking on the link or not.

I'm appalled.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. The entire post-racial narrative has been depressingly laughable

Anyone who thought electing a black president meant the end of racism clearly has no idea what the fuck racism is. #whitepeople

[porphyrian]

15. Wow, that's offensive. n/t

[tjdee]

17. He is also white! Why can't people understand BI-RACIAL?

As a parent of a biracial child, it irritates me enormously that people don't seem to get this. Barack Obama has a white mother. He is white AND black. I get that people shorthand it since he "looks black" but seems to me there should be a really touching narrative. He is not "the other", he is actually like MOST OF US.

I realize I'm in a minority on caring about this lol. But it bothers me so much. My daughter "looks white"--if she were president she would have to deal with Elizabeth Warren type questions because it seems like some people are idiots.
