When Victory Masks Inequality
November 4, 2008: champagne corks flew, strangers embraced on city streets, and Oprah wept openly on national television. Barack Obama had shattered what many believed was America's ultimate glass ceiling. Within hours, pundits declared racism dead, the civil rights struggle complete, America finally "post-racial." But what if this celebration obscured a darker truth? What if Obama's triumph didn't signal racism's end but rather its evolution into something more insidious-a form that celebrates exceptional Black individuals while leaving millions trapped in systemic inequality? This isn't about diminishing Obama's achievement. It's about recognizing that one man's success, however historic, doesn't dismantle centuries of structural oppression. The real question isn't whether America could elect a Black president, but whether that election changed anything for the 90 million people of color still navigating discriminatory housing markets, underfunded schools, and a criminal justice system that targets them disproportionately.
