how is ‘not seeing color’ the solution to racism, when the absence of color is white. reducing someone to a lack of color is essentially making them white. so then, color blindness is not a solution, it is in fact the very definition of racism. there is no such thing as natural ‘color blindness,’ there is only the desire to embrace or ignore. you are making a choice.
No its not a guilty conscious, it me trying to be PC but when the rules are constantly being changed over what is racist or not it is hard to keep up so i end up tiptoing around everyone. Im colorblind and go by "If you respect me i respect you"

Pretending to be color blind is an act of racism. What is and is not racist is not a changing term; the accurate information is being spread which challenges White people’s definition of racism.

I didn’t call you racist I said you were promoting racism; there is a difference.
Color blindness is an act of racism.
Cultural Appropriation is an act of racism.
I told you your racist photo promotes racism; how does that make me “more racist” than you?
Stop exerting your White Supremacy by attempting to tell me what to do.

So do colorblind folks ever try to convince White Supremacists that race is just a social construct or do they only do it when POC have legitimate criticisms of race relations in various countries around the world?
