Everyone has an opinion on racism, if it is still around
today or not, but it is not something that it brought up very often, until
after the elections. Molly Brown wrote an article on this topic, Color Television: What Diversity Looks
Like in America Today (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/column/165353-color-television-what-diversity-looks-like/).
In this article the author brings up a very interesting observation, during the
filming of the election results it shows an almost too perfect mix of race in
the audience. Brown brings up the idea that either this is staged or maybe the
world is really finally going to be at the post-racist time.
After reading her article I agree with her suspicion that
either the filming was staged or it was a very perfect incidence. In all
reality I would like to think that there is no more racism in the world,
however I feel that even now the world is not ready to put aside all their prejudgments.
I feel that the world is headed in the right direction, but after this election
it seems to be pushing back as people who are not fans of Obama complain and
make racist comments in anger of the results. Racism may not be as bad today
but we aren’t completely in post-racism yet.
