I’m surprised nobody has said that they’re “color blind” yet.
Yeah another ridiculous thing. Now it is racist to for one to say they are “color blind”. That used to be a positive thing to be, now it is racist.
It’s not racist, per se, but it’s not helpful.
why isn’t being “color blind” helpful? Isn’t it the direct opposite of being racist?
Race is still a huge problem in America. Notice how almost all police shootings target black people?
I don’t know how true that is, I do know whenever there is a police shooting of a black person that is in any way suspicious, it makes headlines. I can’t say the same for police shootings of white people.
btw, notice how the officer is almost always presumed guilty by groups like Black Lives Matter?
Warbler, your spot on here. Being color blind is what we should strive for in a fight to end all racism. And I cited some eye opening statistics a few posts earlier than yours about how there is not nearly as much discrimination when it comes to police brutality towards blacks as the media may want you to believe.
Jesus Christ. How are we supposed to solve racism if we don’t acknowledge race‽
I mean to say that we should not acknowledge the race of someone when evaluating them for college or a job. Those positions should be judged purely on merit and not at all with race. I hope that clears up more on what I think it means to be “color blind”. I can easily understand how you can interpret it to mean something else and want to make sure we’re on the same page.
