The chapter features a debate on the effectiveness of colorblindness versus race-conscious policies in combating racism, with proponents emphasizing the need for class-based approaches. Quotes from influential figures supporting colorblindness are highlighted, and the hosts express appreciation for the respectful discussion and audience engagement.
During Black History Month, we reflect on a debate that confronts America’s complex history with racial and social inequality. How can we ensure fair treatment for all in the workplace, on campuses, and in our personal interactions? Is it possible to imagine a future beyond race? As we honor this month of remembrance and celebration, we revisit a conversation that confronts the challenges of our past and the promise of a future that aspires to secure equitable opportunities for all.
