ABSTRACT
This chapter is a preemptive reaction to the critics of the nascent post-racial society. The mere assertion of a post-racial society is continually contested within the academic community and wider society. Is this debate about the onset of a post-racial society a reasonable disagreement or something more? Accordingly, it is essential to hear these critics out and answer what we can of their arguments. In The Company of Critics, Michael Walzer defines a critic as a specialist in complaint. Walzer acknowledges, “Social critics are driven by a passion for truth or anger at injustice or sympathy for the oppressed or fear of the masses or ambition for power.” 1 Walzer suggested that criticism takes the form of moral indictments, political censure, satirical comments and skeptical questions.
