TPM Reader BW:

I have always been skeptical of the talk of a post-racial America but when Bobby Jindal spoke and the immediate outpouring of commentary was to compare him to perhaps the single whitest character in America (Kenneth the Page),
the country was clearly seeing past skin color.

If the lesson is that people really are being judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, the Jindal verdict cannot possibly bode well for Republicans.
