We're seeing it more and more.
From legal cases being ruled in the COMPLETE opposite of what you'd expect to outright racist and incendiary commentary shaping the dialogue about social and race topics.
The dominant society is using Obama as a back door to justify everything they've wanted to do for a long time.
Its far more subversive than its ever been but they're slowly taking a crack at every strong hold we've made in the last 50 years.
People are trying to get rid of affirmative action.
They're abolishing voting rights.
They're targeting the debate about violence and classifying it based on race instead of culture and economics.
We're seeing more confrontation responses to people who want to talk about race as being...race baiters and reverse racists..
If you talk about privilege, then you're being TOO politically correct.
You all see it.
Moreover...with someone like Obama in office...they'll use that as a standard of why YOU didn't succeed. If you're not making it, they'll point to Obama and wonder why you couldn't compete.
Its really about to be high-time for people of color in this country and I hope ya'll are getting ready.
I'm not negating all of the progress thats been made, but don't for a second think that the dominant society isn't concerned about their ever-so-slowly diminishing piece of the pie. They're VERY aware of it.
We're still ~12% of this country and have been for some time. Don't forget that.
