The senseless killing of Trayvon Martin, and the subsequent release without charge of the man responsible, has cast a glaring spotlight on the stark reality of continuing racial inequality in the justice system. But the callous lynch mob mentality of those attempting to assassinate Martin\u2019s character and disparage black culture (by way of a justification for Martin\u2019s killer, George Zimmerman) illuminates something even more insidious than institutionalized racism: The obstinate and oblivious intolerance of an \u201cAmerican\u201d culture that publicly prides itself on equal opportunity and acceptance, while enshrining the toxic legacy of white privilege.<\/p>\n

Those flocking to Zimmerman\u2019s defense\u2014the ones who don\u2019t openly harbor white supremacist political views\u2014insist we live in a \u201cpost-racial\u201d society. In their world, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 instantly granted equal opportunity to all, and closed the book on any discussion of race as a factor in social injustice. And anyone who would question this self-evident truth, they believe, could only be doing so cynically for political gain.<\/p>\n

This worldview completely overlooks the reality of what it means and has meant historically to be a racial minority, particularly a black man, in the U.S.<\/p>\n

From the outright atrocities of the slave trade and the crushing indignity of the Jim Crow era, to the community-shattering social Darwinism of the \u201cReagan Revolution\u201d and the continuing fallout of its failed promise, few groups in this nation\u2019s history have faced such naked hostility from the cultural establishment as the black community.<\/p>\n

We are all familiar with the imagery of those fighting for equality during the \u201cCivil Rights Era\u201d\u2014the brave faces of those who endured the blast of fire hoses, were beaten with truncheons, bitten by dogs and shot with non-lethal and lethal rounds by a system that said \u201cno\u201d to equality and human dignity\u2014but what about those who fought against it? What happened to all of the angry, white faces from those not-so-old photographs? Where did they all go, and how did they raise their children to view their non-white peers?<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t fashionable for white people to acknowledge their own cultural existence these days, but the fact that it took an act of military force to integrate our public schools suggests that an awful lot of them did not so long ago.<\/p>\n

Perhaps 1965 was a kind of revelation, a profound shift in white culture\u2019s attitudes toward minorities, as the post-racial narrative would have us believe. For a white person, it is not necessarily a difficult proposition to grasp; after all, we elected a black president.<\/p>\n

But then how to account for protest signs depicting Obama with a bone through his nose, wearing stereotypical \u201cgangsta\u201d clothing or political cartoons depicting watermelon patches at the White House?
\nOne telling incident concerned an email distributed by an Orange County Republican official that included a picture of Obama\u2019s head superimposed onto the body of a baby chimpanzee. The woman responsible claimed she never even thought about the President being half black (probably because she \u201cdoesn\u2019t see color\u201d), maintaining instead that it was legitimate commentary on the President\u2019s \u201ccharacter\u201d and the \u201cquestions surrounding his origin of birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

How do post-racialists explain this? How do they explain Trayvon Martin?<\/p>\n

While claiming to not see black or white people\u2014just people\u2014many post-racialists insist that suspicion of black people is rationally defensible, citing race-based crime statistics to justify profiling young, black men.
\nThey have criminalized non-white (but particularly black) culture, as evident in the case of Martin. The attempt to lynch this young man\u2019s character is rooted in an ugly double standard on behavior.<\/p>\n

Actual criticisms of Martin made by people attempting to justify Zimmerman\u2019s actions on internet comment boards include: he listened to rap music and emulated the fashions and proclivities of those associated with it; he used the word \u201cnigga\u201d in his Twitter handle; he probably smoked weed and was perhaps not a model student. For all of these reasons, coupled with race-based crime statistics (inexplicably cited by those who claim to be colorblind), we are meant to distrust the notion of Martin as a victim and view him as a real threat that Zimmerman had to \u201cneutralize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not getting straight As, skipping school and dabbling in marijuana are not generally considered capital offenses, and the fact that so many people would present them as such in Martin\u2019s case because of their personal distaste, mistrust and fear of his people\u2019s culture as a whole, reveals a lot about this supposedly post-racial country.<\/p>\n

And at this point, the Zimmerman apologists have washed their hands of it. They claim they are not against the color, but the culture, of black people, and a common (and deeply paternalistic) dismissal of Martin\u2019s death goes something like, \u201cthe real tragedy is the way they are killing each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The census bureau predicts that by 2050, 62 percent of children will be ethnic minorities. The people who na\u00efvely cling to, or worse, cynically perpetuate the myth of post-racialism are only going to make this transition more painful for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

What is needed, now more than ever, is a frank and evenhanded discussion about race as it pertains not only to the past and present, but to the future of this country.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s impossible not to notice skin color or the appearance of people who are different than us; our brains by their very nature categorize the world and everything in it, and that includes people. When different cultures comingle, there is bound to be some friction\u2014people say and think racist things\u2014but while we can\u2019t completely control our thoughts and feelings, we can take responsibility for our actions and try to counteract and challenge our own cultural prejudices.<\/p>\n

A society where people are judged by \u201cthe content of their character and not the color of their skin\u201d is a worthy ideal to work towards, but we don\u2019t make it there by pretending there\u2019s no such thing as race and no such thing as racial privilege. On the contrary, only by confronting the insidious culture of privilege that still divides our society along racial lines can we fully embrace an egalitarian future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
