Taylor indubitably brings up various scenarios/instances where racism is ubiquitous. However, his central motive behind this chapter and consequently this book resides in the fact that he is attempting to state that all oppression is intertwined - everything from immigration, exploitation, to exceedingly imbalanced incarceration of blacks (especially men). A quote from bell hooks comes to mind which encapsulates Taylor’s main premise behind this chapter/book. She states, “Until we are all able to accept the interlocking, interdependent nature of systems of domination and recognize specific ways each system is maintained, we will continue to act in ways that undermine our individual quest for freedom and collective liberation struggle. The ability to acknowledge blind spots can emerge only as we expand our concern about politics of domination and our capacity to care about the oppression and exploitation of others.” The inauguration of President Obama is indubitably a triumphant occurrence. However, linking this to post-racial beliefs, it simply provides a “justification” for our colorblind and “post-racial” society.  Taylor mentions in chapter 4, that Latinos are now dominate paid domestic work, like African Americans once did (144). When analyzing history, the dominant white supremacist, capitalist, and patriarchal system has always oppressed or exploited the “inferior” minority.  It is no coincidence that illegal Latinos are the new exploited group in the United States, taking the place of African Americans, who “gained their rights” (186). Thus, minorities (i.e. non-whites) have been and still are among the most exploited groups in the world. Taylor states, “The post racialist concludes that we have put race behind us and embarked on a new phase of human social relations” (184). However, race does matter – and as Michelle Alexander eloquently stated, “it is time for us to wake up from the slumber of colorblindness.” Although one’s skin color does require acknowledgement, an individual possess more layers than simply what is visible in the exterior - a person is more than simply than the pigment of their skin. Combating thoughts dominated by post-racial ideologies requires the realization that being a human means to see humanity in us all.
