2012, but what has changed?

Some have tried to argue that the election of Barack Obama has ushered in a post-racial society. Others have angrily disputed charges of racism on the part of President Obama's opponents.

 This might be a good time to let the facts speak for themselves, eh?

 Take a look at this post from Mother Jones, and look closely at the two pictures. One of them is an actual photograph of President Obama. The other is the same photo as published by a right-wing anti-Obama group called Vets for a Strong America.

Do you notice any difference?

 Now tell me you think racism has nothing to do with the opposition to President Obama.
