"How Should Barack Obama Confront Racial Injustice?"

Charles Ogletree addreses this question in an excerpt from his new book The Presumption of Guilt recently published on The Root. A snippet: "If America can elect an African-American president, the thinking goes, how can we be accused of having a racially discriminatory society? The mistaken assumption is that since we have achieved so much racial progress, we should discontinue all the efforts to address racial discrimination in the 21st century. Those who believe that we are in a post-racial environment are naive at best or racially insensitive at worst."
