Only responding to you on this. It comes down to LYING LIARS.

Folks who play the "I'm color blind I don't see color we are all EXACTLY the SAME" don't have to acknowledge diversity because they tend to be from the DOMINANT culture. You don't HAVE to give an inch to how others experience in YOUR DOMINANT culture have experienced it because after all - you are King or Queen shit in America.

Everyone is the same? Really? Tee hee. Try telling that to a white woman (my mom) who had to learn how to do her bi-racial daughter's hair.

Really? We are all EXACTLY the same? So not true. There are Dumb Blond Stereotypes and then the Mammyy Stereotype and the first things that pop to mind in MOST minds are a very distinctive look for those two 'stereotypes'. And the way those two women look are drastically different. And anyone who tells you different is a bold faced liar who has deep discomfort with not only the color of OTHER people's skin - but most likely their own too and it's relevance in American Society.

Off the site - off of DU - next time someone tells you this 'color blind' nonsense - ask them what they will do if they are raped. Seriously. Will they play their "I'm color blind" absolute fucking insane bullshit nonsense or will they 'description up'.

You have to go the extreme with these 'types' because it's all they understand. And trust me - if an Asian robs, rapes, etc. etc. me that's the first effin' thing that is going into that description - Asian Male.

Here's how it goes for the 'color blind':
Not - well - uh - it was sort of well - er um - uh a guy - but I'm 'color blind' so I can't give you more than that!


Color Blinders are effing liars. And the saddest part - They are lying to THEMSELVES. They don't want to have ANY discussions on race or ethnicity because they have LIED to themselves about what they are at their very core and how they benefitted from it in America. They are all around liars and so my friend -

Disregard them. They can't be trusted - because they lie about the most basic realities. If they lie they'll cheat. If they'll cheat they'll steal. If they'll steal they will murder you in your sleep. Wise words my father gave to me about men and people in general.
