Colson Whitehead for Secretary of Postracial Affairs

Greetings, fellow bloggers:

I just read a hilarious op-ed by Colson Whitehead on the subject of postraciality. He makes excellent use of the absurd by taking the notion of "color blindness" to its logical extreme. Read it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/opinion/04whitehead.html?_r=1
I think my favorite part is the parlor game in which others give you clues for you to guess "what color you were before everything changed." I've laughed for a good twelve minutes now.
