Post-racial ObamAmerica?

Big test coming up that will give us an idea of whether or not we are truly living in a post-racial era where the racial victimology that has dominated American politics over the last 20 years (thanks to Sharpton, Jackson et al) is really on its way out.

If it is, then Elgin Baylor will be laughed out of court.

Is he really planning to walk into a courtoom with a straight face to argue that after 22 years... as the General Manager... of a professional basketball team... he was fired because he was black!?

His record as a general manage was horrible. They made the play-offs 3 times in 22 seasons. I'd be willing to bet that they made the draft lottery more than they made the play-offs. I often wondered if the fact that Elgin Baylor is black was the reason he wasn't fired during those dismal times.
