| dc.description.abstract | The election of president Barrack Obama was the hope and change that echoed throughout his campaign and was supported by millions of white, African, Asian and Latino/a Americans. The election of the first African American president and the no longer presence of blatant and visible reproduction of racism has fueled the idea that America has moved on to a postracist era. These are, however, no valid reasons to believe that racism has disappeared, in fact it has taken on a new and invisible form. It is hidden. It has gone underground, out of sight for those who are on top of the hierarchy. It does not undermine them, nor does it rob them of being able to chase the American dream. Present day race riots including the riots in Ferguson, New York, Baltimore and Texas that show the lingering racism and color-blindness in American society. | en_US |
