Just so you know. I am not disputing your theory of color blindness and not placing judgement and value on color. If a new society was being formed absent history and currently an egalitarian society with the races living as socioeconomic equals, then what you say has merit. However, you can't, after 300 plus years of racism in this nation, and around the globe via colonization and imperialism, all of a sudden pretend not to see race and the different socioeconomic realities of race. Not seeing race does not fix the damage that accrued from 3 centuries of seeing race. Not talking about race and the history then provides no explanation for the observations of different socioeconomic realities between the races, which leaves people to assume that those doing better are "naturally" superior to those races doing poorly.
It goes back to the saying,
"I'm not trying to hide something from you. There is nothing I need for you to see."
There is a difference in
"pretending not to see" and
"finding nothing of use in what you see". There is nothing our history has to offer me in regards to race, that should, or will have any bearing on where I want to go (outside of casting it aside), how I am going to get there, who wants to accomplish the same goals, and what we will find when we are finally shed of your foolish racial desires.
