John McCain, during his 2008 presidential campaign, stated that he believed that American society was moving towards a post-racial era. He pointed to the fact that he was running against the first African-American presidential nominee, Barack Obama, as evidence of this progress. However, this statement was met with criticism as many argued that it was premature to claim that we were in a post-racial society given ongoing issues with racism and discrimination.
