re: #90 Blind Frog Belly White

Sadly, electing the first black President seems to have uncovered a lot of racism that had previously been below the level of detection. It’s as if a lot of white people think that once ‘we gave them the White House’, it magically cured everything, and black people would just shut up about racism.

I know others around here and on the blogs have compared it to lancing a boil and an ugly necessity to eradicating that kind of mindset, but my worry is that, instead of that, it’s a full on resurgence that’s soaking up and soaking through everything else to infect us anew. Mostly because instead of taking a stand against it, most feel like they’re re-embracing this as the face of ‘true’ America, either non-ironically or in the sense of ‘oh, boys will be boys’ apathy and dismissal that allows the non-ironic adopters to flourish.
