Talk:Post-racial America/Archive 1

deletion?
I'm a little surprised at the repeated attempts to delete this page. This term is not some internet neologism that only 14 year old boys are aware of, it's been used in the press and other public forums quite a bit in the time since Obama was elected, as I believe is now well substantiated. This brief stub now has four separate references from bona fide nationally available reliable sources. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:17, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Neutrality of the tea party statement
Do I really need to cite sources that says the tea party isn't racist?

There are just so many things wrong with saying that. For one they are a single issue (the economy) organization which doesn't deal with racism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.231.235 (talk) 03:42, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Describing the tea party as an organization, much less a single-issue one, is: 1) Not a citation, and 2) not very accurate. The Tea Party movement is a aggregate populist movement: there are various groups and organizations (formal and informal) which make up the movement, and a plethora of views are represented therein.


 * Moreover, unless I'm missing an edit, the article is referencing the idea that the Tea Party is perceived as racist, which is a very different thing. This is, however, probably something that needs some form of citation.

Restoring previous version
I've restored the pre-User:Catupnorth version due to problems that were never addressed by the user. Viriditas (talk) 02:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

==Articles like this undermine the neutrality of Wikipedia. Where are the citations for racism in the Tea Party? And where are the references to racism on the other side? For that matter, where are the definitions of racism?

Earlier history of concept
Surely this concept has some history before 2008?--Pharos (talk) 18:44, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

General Comments
What does Post-Racial America look like now? What are some other theories on post-racial America and how does it affect minority communities? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taqiyyah14 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

General rewrite is in order. A large number of the sentences on the page have grammatical issues, and the image captioned "Racial differences become the cause of attacks" seems like a joke. The section titled 'Post-racial America' is not only titled oddly, but is the section most pressing for a rewrite. Final paragraph of "Arguments challenging post-racial America" is in special need of proofreading as well. — NateNeumann (talk) 22:23, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
