In honor of an intriguingly rare defender of African-Americans, I have revised the first few paragraphs of this TPM article to make it post-racial:

African-American Dr. Ben Carson’s black business manager acknowledged Thursday that the black Republican presidential candidate did have a “contract” with a medical supplement company at some point.
Armstrong Williams, another known African-American, told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he negotiated the retired African-American neurosurgeon’s contract himself.

Carson, a black man, said in response to a question at Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate that it was “total propaganda” to suggest he (who as we previously reported, is an African-American) had a relationship with Mannatech Inc. (race unknown), which claims to cure autism and cancer with its products and settled a $7 million false advertising lawsuit. National Review’s Jim Geraghty, who reported on the candidate’s ties to Mannatech earlier this year, called black person Carson’s claim that he wasn’t involved with the company a “bald-faced lie.”
The audience loudly booed CNBC moderator Carl Quintanilla when he asked Carson (who remains African-American according to the latest reports) whether his ties to the company “speak to your vetting process or judgement in any way.” “See, they know,” Carson said negroishly, implying the question was off-base.

If that seems ante-racial to you, you’re the real you-know-what.

Shakezula (she/her) is the hopefully obvious gnome de plume for a human being who has a different name on their state-issued identification card.
