‘I Am Colorblind’ Is Racist – Opinion

Morgan Freeman famously answered a question about how to eradicate racism. His answer: “Stop talking about it.”

Clearly, institutions aren’t currently of the Morgan mindset.

The nation’s new enlightenment is all about what makes us different — not only in appearance, but power and victimhood. That last distinction is made not by individual circumstance but by skin color.

America was once a melting-pot, and Americans were there long before that.

But now we’re categorized according to “identity” groups, as our leaders pack us into separately-stored bins.

Apropos of our re-organization, the federal government is taking a bold “antiracist” stand.

Per Uncle Sam, an expression of racism is none other than “I am colorblind.”

Judicial Watch reported that it received nearly 50 pages from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Among them: an employee-training PowerPoint presentation titled “Race and Gender-Based Microaggressions.”

The lesson’s stated goals:

• This will help you to identify microaggressions based on race and gender
• This guide will help you to understand the impact of microaggressions on discrimination, harassment and/or other illegal acts
• This guide will help you to understand your role in stopping harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
• These situations can be helpful in determining how you should respond.

What would make an organisation advise someone to be offended.

I can’t imagine any purpose other than to ensure weakness and low morale.

Whatever the case, the training describes microaggressions as “verbal and nonverbal behavior” which “communicate negative, hostile, and derogatory messages to people rooted in their marginalized group membership (based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc.).”

To be clear, a “more subtle” nonverbal indication of something negative related to an identity group can absolutely be “unintentional.”

Know your right response. You should feel hurt.

One section — “Common Race-Based Microaggressions in the Workplace” — addresses the difference between what someone says and what is perceived.

A wall separates a black woman and a white man to illustrate this point.

He announces, “When it comes to race, I am colorblind.”

You could not ask for more than someone who can see beyond your appearance. Evidently the answer is to be non-racist.

The woman is not racist while the man does.

• Denying a person’s racial/ethnic experience
• Assimilate into the dominant culture
• Refusing to recognize the person as a cultural/racial being

Feds: Saying you’re ‘colorblind’ is racist — guys, never interrupt a female colleague.

There was a time when people didn’t want to be racial beings; rather, they wished to be human ones.

Is it possible that this time will ever again come? If so, it won’t likely be soon.

Meanwhile, if not viewing people by race is racist, we’ve got a lot of history to revise.

Consider the case of America’s most revolutionary racial offender:

It has been a pleasure to work with you. #dreamMy four children and I will live one day in a country where their skin color will no longer matter but their content. #character.

It is a dream that I am living today.

To return to training: Before displaying a gallery full of perniciousness based on appearance, the instructor issues a Trigger Warning.

Next slide includes images of offensive stereotypes.

Depicted, per Judicial Watch:

People of color being offered various items such as: someone wearing a hoody and gold chain being offered sports balls; a hijab-wearing girl being offered a lit bomb and a picture of Osama bin Laden; a girl being offered a maid’s apron and a sombrero; a male being offered a guitar and a construction hat; a girl being handed a bottle of Aunt Jemimah syrup; and a girl being handed a spear, a teepee, and a Cleveland Indians baseball pennant.

National pride used to be a concept that was based both on unity and strength.

The more “diverse” we become, it seems, the more the Powers That Be want us fragmented and subsequently weak.

Ich hoffe for a time when our nation will be strong again.

Until our return to vintage vigor, remember the government’s guidance: Whatever you do, don’t deeply injure a white person by giving him a guitar.
