" Many will wonder how a nation that just elected its first black president could possibly have a racial caste system. But as discussed in chapter 6, there is no inconsistency whatsoever between the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land and the existence of a racial caste system in the era of colorblindness. The current system of control depends on black exceptionalis,; it is not disproved or undermined by it. "
