In celebration of Black History Month, SoulStice and Haysoos release a two part track (which is explained more in detail below).
When Barack Obama was elected president, I drank champagne and celebrated an important milestone for my country. Although I’ve never been comfortable with direct comparisons between Obama and Dr. King, I do think Obama’s election represents a very significant step towards the realization of King’s vision for America. However, watching the post-election news coverage I began to get concerned about a phrase I kept hearing: “A Post-Racial America.” This phrase, dubious to sober-minded individuals even back in 2008, seems even more far-fetched today given the current state of affairs.
A Post-Racial America” is an impassioned reality check on the phrase many have used to describe the era of Obama’s presidency. In Part 1, Wade Waters deconstructs the “Post-Racial” mythology over an upbeat soundbed provided by GMJ. Part 2, in contrast, crafts a vision for empowerment and progress over soulful instrumentation provided by Terem and features singer Devin Jones.
