Welcome to post-racial America. I'm the face of post-racial America.

Tracy Morgan

Today in America we are no more "post-racial" than we are "post-partisan." We have a long way to go.

Jennifer Granholm

Today in America we are no more 'post-racial' than we are 'post-partisan.' We have a long way to go.

Jennifer Granholm

I think you're only post-racial when you stop asking if you're post-racial. When the Neanderthals finally stopped asking themselves if they were in a post-saber tooth society, that's when they were post-saber tooth.

Colson Whitehead

The only people who live in a post-black world are four people who live in a little white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The idea that America is post-racial or post-black because a man I admire, Barack Obama, is president of the United States, is a joke. And I hope no one will even wonder about this crazy fiction again.

Henry Louis Gates

I think we are aware that post-racialism isn't real, right? I mean, I hope so. I kind of joke that we're post-post-racial.

Justin Simien

When Obama came to power, there was a lot of talk about a post-racial America.

Ezra Koenig

The truth is, no, we don't live in a post-racial state anywhere in America, and this is particularly true in Hollywood.

Tessa Thompson

We should not be post-racial: seeking to get beyond the uplifting meanings and edifying registers of blackness. Rather, we should be post-racist: moving beyond cultural fascism and vicious narratives of racial privilege and superiority that tear at the fabric of "e pluribus unum.

Michael Eric Dyson

What worries me is that 'post-racial' America is not that different from the Americas that have preceded us, and it might not ever be.

Roxane Gay

In this post-post-racial, post-Obama era of resurgent populism and Balkanized identity politics, it really does feel as though it matters - and matters more than anything else - whether you're black or white.

Thomas Chatterton Williams

We are not post-racial. And in many ways we don't even know how to have a conversation about being post-racial. Until we get out of that old-school way of thinking about race and opportunity and the ability to transcend some of the past of this country, then we're going to be stuck in the 20th-century conversation about race.

Donna Brazile

It's hard to say when or if we will actually arrive at that place called 'post-racial', or, better yet, post-racism.

Tim Wise

We're not able to hide behind myths of this being a post-racial society because Donald Trump has outlined exactly how a large portion of America feels.

Vic Mensa

The promise of Obama's presidency, in many people's minds, is partly that America will move toward becoming a post-racial society. It's pretty clear, though, that we aren't there yet.

Timothy Noah

There haven't been fundamental structural changes in America. There's been a very important symbolic change and that is the election of Barack Obama. But the only black people who truly live in a post-racial world in America all live in a very nice house on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Henry Louis Gates
