McWhorter's over at the Root today on this subject. This video I cut in the Spring of 2008 is a bit more sympathetic to the race-talkers than I am today, but there's not much in it I would contradict. I'll probably go make the dinger point that race-talk among blacks empowers blacks over in the Root's comment section...
Most recently I noted that race talkers generally want to empower their own race and have a racial answer to the race questions, but never want to leave race out of the question. And of course my greatest argument against post-racism is that racism is sin and unless and until people are ready to eradicate sin, then the racial manifestation will always be there.
