America's post racial President

Do you remember Barack Obama being described as America's post racial President? His diary this week looks a trifle odd for a post racial man:
'On Wednesday... the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala honoring noted (Hispanic) actress Eva Longoria Parker.

Then on Saturday the Obama's will help fete New Jersey's own (Black) State Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual Phoenix Awards dinner. '
Maybe post racial means something different when its just explicitly white groups who aren't 'honored' or 'feted'.

Meanwhile the American 'tea party' movement is regularly denigrated as being a movement of white racists. NewsBusters shows that that is a lie...



Thanks to WyBlog for the White House diary spot.

I see O'Reilly gave the NAACP guy who was making vague Tea Party is racist noises a bit of a seeing to.
