The census keeps counting us by race for purposes of undoing racial harm in the past. - Nell Irvin Painter

We discover through genetics or the genome or through culture, through migration and so forth, anthropology that racist dont exist, biologically, that you can't box people up in little boxes according to race.

Our search for understanding in matters of race automatically inclines us toward blackness.

Just because you say that things in the 21 century are not the same as they were in the 20th century, doesnt mean that you're saying that we're in a post-racial society. We are not in a post-racial society, but things are not like they were in the age of segregation or slavery.
