We hear a lot about "post-racial" politics these days--the election of Barack Obama supposedly has led us into a post-racial age, but have we really seen anything change? Not much, notes Kimberle Crenshaw, co-founder of the African-American Policy Forum, and it's not really new either. But a lack of a sense of history is another symptom of today's politics, and Crenshaw notes that even black elected officials and candidates sometimes fall victim.

Crenshaw joins Laura in studio for a look at black tea party candidates, the troubles facing Adrian Fenty and other black mayors, and the problem with claims of "reverse racism." Distributed by Tubemogul.

  • Non-whites are killing white countries.

  • Basically it is bullshit and stupid. Race and gender exist, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes Obama is a coward on the issue, so what, big deal.

  • " you cannot solve racial problems with color blind means."
