Postmodernists had it right. It’s all socially constructed. Where the modern left gets it wrong is that they’ve destroyed the foundations of the house that we lived in without building a new one. Truly, black and white (and yellow, ugh) don’t describe the world so much anymore. We’re already in a post-racial society, and so few people realize it. The new language to describe our 21st century America will be lords (the .01%) and peasants (not pejoratively either, peasants historically enjoyed nice things in life). We’re for sure in a multi-ethnic society. There’s no question about this. But when a ‘black’ man is elected to the highest office, when ‘black’ people continue to hold institutional power, both in government and universities, the actual practice of racism becomes hard to prove. It becomes ethnocentrism. The irony of this fact is how so many ‘whites’ (mostly uneducated) know it to be true, and so many ‘blacks’ refuse to believe it, instead calling on the European-American burgousie to feel guilt and dole out pity. There’s this belief that to be ‘black’ means to be cursed. Fuck that, African-Americans have reason to be proud of their accomplishments in this country. If anything, white guilt is racism. You can’t look someone in the eye when you’re looking down on them.
