This essay explores how the election of Barack Obama in 2008 moved America into a new postracial terrain. It examines the implications of the term “postracialism” that emerged as part of a new popular discourse about racism and the degree to which it undercuts arguments for broad state action to address racial inequality. It illustrates that while whites embraced the concept of a “postracial” America because race loses its meaning, Blacks conversely rejected this same construct because race, and ultimately racism, lose significance in both popular discourse and lived experiences. This essay explores how the election of Barack Obama has moved America into a new post-racial terrain.
