Rant on "post-race America"

If one more person tries to tell me we are living in a "post-race America" or some similarly ignorant but intelligent-sounding gobbledygook, I am going to open a can of whoop-ass like you wouldn't believe. No, seriously. You may as well be saying, "I'm not racist, but..."
