I& #39;m seeing a lot of comments online from well-meaning but tone-deaf people saying we& #39;re "one community" and that the goal is to "not see color." Here& #39;s why being colorblind isn& #39;t possible--nor it should be something anyone should try to achieve.
To say u "don& #39;t see color" trivializes + dismisses the real struggles Black folk are experiencing at disproportionate rates. People do not suffer and hurt in equal measure. And that IS because of race. White, white-passing, and non-black PoC must sit in that uncomfortable truth.
We must acknowledge the ways in which we perpetuate anti-blackness and work to be anti-racist. Because of the way our society is constructed and the ways in which our inherent biases come into play, there is NO SUCH THING as a colorblind society.
Instead, work to be a better ally: listen to what the Black community is telling you, recognize how much physical and emotional labor it costs them to do so, and educate yourselves (it& #39;s not all on PoC to educate u!), and don& #39;t get defensive about how your intentions were good!
Because intentions don& #39;t matter when the harm is done. I wish I could say this a 1000x more. It doesn& #39;t matter. It doesn& #39;t matter. It doesn& #39;t matter. What does is engaging in the conversation. Keep learning, keep listening, and keep working. Here are some books I found helpful.
