I was scanning my IG account, and saw someone post that they “don’t see color” when they look at a person.
Someone responded that that was a horrible thing to say… but, I get it. I was born in the early 60s, and, after the assassination of MLK, that’s where the nation turned - to the production of a “color-blind society” in the US, where a person would be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. What happened to that concept?

I had an Army Drill Sergeant give a memorable speech to us at boot camp. “I don’t wanna hear no racist s***. Y’all ain’t white. Y’all ain’t black. Ain’t no brown. Ain’t no yella. Y’all’s all GREEN! And y’all’s on the same team where your life may be in somebody’s else hand and then you gonna focus on living, not the color of somebody tryin’ to keep you alive. So knock that s*** off now.”

"I don't see height," "I don't see gender," would be strange, wouldn't it? Erasing something about a person that does have an influence on their life experiences. I do see color, but that doesn't mean I see it as less than or more than.

While you can't really ignore color, you can't use it to determine what it says about their lives.

Welcome to 2025, where racism is so widespread and pervasive that we have to pick apart innocuous common phrases to find it. Back in the 1960s, we weren't so illiterate that we didn't understand the meaning behind the statement. But, because the societal stupidity quotient has increased 235%, we've decided to take it literally and say it's "erasing" people's identity.

We've also got the race-baiters who actually want the opposite of what is meant by "colorblind." They want race to be the first and most important thing that people focus on. By now we've all heard the famous Morgan Freeman "60 Minutes" quote. We do get it. We understand. People just have to stir shit up.

mhs2- completely agree

People with ethnic sounding names do not get hired as regularly as people with white names. That is why there were some things in place in more reasonable times.

Isn't that what the antiDEI is all about?
