    - katie, CNN iReport producer

    So we think we are post racial? Hmm... NOPE. If anything we are post-Black Movement. This is not good for neither Blacks or Whites. Nope not good at all. While a movement against BIG Government storms DC... Black Power is out to lunch or in many ways on the defensive protecting the "Black" Obama. But Obama is no more the same as the average Black person as Glenn Beck is the same as an average White guy. Don't drink the cool aid from either side.
