The Anatomy of Racism (Part 3 of 4)
Racism isn’t dead — it is hiding in the open.
— Xenocrates
Barack Obama’s presidency has exposed just how racist white America really is.
In 2008, a black man was finally elected president of the most powerful country in the world. At the time, many people (myself included) naively asserted that this will finally put a nail in the coffin of all the negative stereotypes that have been held about black people for good. Boy, were we wrong. It’s not for fault in Obama. No. Rather, his presence has exposed the raw, visceral, racist underbelly of white America that had been lurking in silence for so long. In this post, I will potently demonstrate the unpleasant reality that racism is by no means dead.
