Are we now proven to be a post-racist society?
 
What do you think about this statement:

A mixed race candidate used the race card to get elected in a post-racist society, and it will re-kindle racism.

I'd say it's an statement largely devoid of reality and facts.

You've not exactly got the market cornered on either commodity.

And, furthermore, doesn't this election result COMPLETELY put Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton out of business? Isn't their issue over now? Permanently?

When I consider that 95% of blacks voted in favor of disincentivizing my initiative, work ethic, innovation, and willingness to take capital risk, I feel a small amount of vague, disembodied umbrage. I can't help but wonder what a non-Christian will make of it.

Racism will never end. There are too many people who enjoy being the "victim" and having an excuse to pass blame.

i think race helped him more in the primaries then in the election itself. Blacks make up like 14% of the nations population, so it took alot of white votes for him to win. Being black helped him get the democratic nomination for sure.
