With Barack Obama’s historic (and hysteric) ascension to the White House, a giant hurdle in American politics has been breached. Rejoice, for the Age of Affirmative Action Politics has finally arrived! Mr. Obama’s speech, while characteristically lacking in substance, did contain an admixture of all the right words, yet somehow failed to proclaim the end of racism in America. My guess would be the reason for that failure was to keep from alienating all those who are still investing in that conceit.
