"For these anti-anti-racists, accusations of racism are a greater concern than actual discrimination and prejudice against blacks and other minorities. It's not that they support racism, but that they see it as largely irrelevant to contemporary life. Any problems with minority communities, in their eyes, have more to do with cultural dysfunction, not racial inequality. Moreover, if there's a racial problem in America, it's not against minorities, it's against whites: “Caucasian is not one of the colors getting helped,” said Fox contributor Todd Starnes, attacking the president's My Brother's Keeper initiative.
As rhetoric, anti-anti-racism is popular in the conservative movement. You saw it in Andrew Breitbart's obsession with ACORN and Shirley Sherrod and Fox News' obsession with the New Black Panthers, and you see it in some attacks on Attorney General Eric Holder, alleging discrimination against whites."-Jamelle Bouie

Hello, MM.
As an 'aspiring misanthrope', when considering the big picture relating to our ever-evolving, far too often self-destructive, imperfect human species, often I find it difficult to lay BLAME on a specific group of human beings.
Hopefully, I am not the only American believing our imperfect human species will continue evolving, learning day by day about our human condition and physical world, slowly shedding our human ignorance and adapting as we continue plodding along trying to improve the Quality of Life for all human beings!

Pfft, i move this thread be moved to an area where people can really express themselves, because OP is a racist idiot. Name one thread where OP has created not in the race section. Kinda reveals what's on his mind, no?

Colorblind Ideology Is a Form of Racism
Monnica T Williams Ph.D.
Culturally Speaking
At its face value, colorblindness seems like a good thing — really taking MLK seriously on his call to judge people on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. It focuses on commonalities between people, such as their shared humanity.
However, colorblindness alone is not sufficient to heal racial wounds on a national or personal level. It is only a half-measure that in the end operates as a form of racism.
Problems with the colorblind approach
Racism? Strong words, yes, but let's look the issue straight in its partially unseeing eye. In a colorblind society, White people, who are unlikely to experience disadvantages due to race, can effectively ignore racism in American life, justify the current social order, and feel more comfortable with their relatively privileged standing in society (Fryberg, 2010). Most minorities, however, who regularly encounter difficulties due to race, experience colorblind ideologies quite differently. Colorblindness creates a society that denies their negative racial experiences, rejects their cultural heritage, and invalidates their unique perspectives.
Let's break it down into simple terms: Color-Blind = "People of color — we don't see you (at least not that bad ‘colored' part)." As a person of color, I like who I am, and I don't want any aspect of that to be unseen or invisible. The need for colorblindness implies there is something shameful about the way God made me and the culture I was born into that we shouldn't talk about. Thus, colorblindness has helped make race into a taboo topic that polite people cannot openly discuss. And if you can't talk about it, you can't understand it, much less fix the racial problems that plague our society.

Oh my.. MLK was wasting his time. And you follow moron white people with terminal race guilt. Here's a statement that ranks close to top ten of STUPIDEST academic statements on race I've ever heard.
Colorblindness creates a society that denies their negative racial experiences, rejects their cultural heritage, and invalidates their unique perspectives.
NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T. I don't look at a Black person and "reject their cultural heritage" or "invalidate their unique perspectives". IF I DID those things -- I would BE a racist. They're handing out Race/Culture degrees to morons and mental midgets.
And WTF you listening to white people telling YOU what to think. I thought you rejected and hated white people telling you what to think. Why you listening to HER? She can't even compose 3 paragraphs that MAKE any sense or don't contradict her title/premise.
We could all go colorblind relative to race tomorrow, but the damage created by almost four centuries of abuses will still exist.

And there it is. Your life preserver IF society trended toward color blindness. YOU won't allow it. Whites could wash your feet and kiss your ass and you'd still HATE them and denigrate them for historical wrongs.
So -- any PROGRESS in Race relations is a gloomy day for IM2...

No, that's where you have it wrong. And that's because you are a fucked up right wing idiot. As long as the damage caused by white racism, and it has been consistent not just limited the long ago past like you would love to imagine, is not fixed then colorblind cannot exist. When damages are fixed created by color consciousness and everyone is at the same level, then you can apply a practical belief in colorblindness. You can't just say we are colorblind and race relations has improved when reservations exist you idiot. Whites don't get to determine when race relations improve only by white standards. You want the easy way out of this, "we'll just say we are colorblind, that's all we need." No, it's not that simple. Learn that before you dare issue opinions.

Exactly what I just told you. Colorblindness would lead in the wrong direction for you. It's reconciliation WITHOUT suffering and reparations. It jeopardized the segregation that you encourage. It puts the Race Baiting industry into bankruptcy. YOU can't have that.
It's no different than being "felon blind" or "mental illness" blind for those who have recovered. You won't allow ANY of group to go "into remission"..

No it's what I told you. Whites like you want the easy way out.

In the mean time those damaged and suffering from what whites caused will still be damaged and suffering.
If you believe the crap you typed it proves only one thing. There is only one race bating industry, the white conservative race baiting industry.

Exactly -- I'm just repeating your position... See the post above. But it's NOT what whites WANT.. It's all the stuff you won't accept without white pain, suffering, reparations and such.
Thats why a "color blind" society would make you (and whoever programmed you with your racism) COMPLETELY ------ irrelevant.

No you are not repeating my position you are validating it. You are here saying that it doesn't matter what kind of pain whites have caused to others you want a solution whereby whites don't have to suffer. I'm talking about fixing damages caused by white racists and you call that making whites suffer. Programmed with racism, are you fucking crazy? You make no sense.

This is funny actually.. I WANT a colorblind society -- you don't because it make you irrelevant with all your plans to make ME miserable and pay and suffer. That's RETRIBUTION not REDISTRIBUTION and it's not even a civilized concept. But that's your bar.. And here's the funny part.
I AM already colorblind when it comes to potential and acheivement and my neighbors. So for the most part are my successful well adjusted Black neighbors. We've moved on. BUT -- YOU are COLOR PHOBIC -- haven't even BEGUN the process and blaming me for not wanting to suffer and be leaned on for "damages" and prosecuted as a criminal would be.
Someone DID program you.. Because, not helping your cause. You've BARELY EVER addressed the REAL Black American issues. Not education, not the thug culture, not revving up expectations for CAREERS, not encouraging blacks to integrate out of the cities that mistreat them so badly.. You show little interest in FIXING a damn thing.
You're already irrelevant. Because there's plenty of Black leaders working to make FIXES TODAY. Not waiting for ANOTHER 150 years for some heavy-handed "retribution" to be declared. Whatever radicalized you took you COMPLETELY out of the world of the hard-working, issue KNOWLEDGEABLE folks that are gonna make things better. THEY WORK at it every day. You protest and bleed anger and rage.
