Tonight, Barack Obama formally accepts the Democratic nomination for president. As the first African-American to head a major party ticket, many black and white Americans are celebrating this moment. Some commentators are even suggesting that Obama's candidacy means we are entering a "post racial" period, meaning that in the future, race won't matter.
