When Barack Obama was elected president, I drank champagne and celebrated an important milestone for my country. Although I've never been comfortable with direct comparisons between Obama and Dr. King, I do think Obama's election represents a very significant step towards the realization of King's vision for America. However, watching the post-election news coverage I began to get concerned about a phrase I kept hearing: "A Post-Racial America." This phrase, dubious to sober-minded individuals even back in 2008, seems even more far-fetched today given the current state of affairs.
