This author Tim Wise argues that as society has come a long way from direct racism, we still don't recognize indirect racism as a whole, "we are nowhere near a post racial America. He states that we have gotten away from what he calls "racism 1.0" which is direct biggotry and old school bias. He says that we need to be on the lookout for "enlightened exceptionalism". Many people said that they voted for Obama because he is different from the "black norm" which we as a society need to get away from. We can not accept someone just because they are different from the "black or brown norm".
In class I would like to hear other students comparasions between Brown v. Board of Educations issues and the issues that Wise argues as I found it hard to navigate the site.
