Color Blindness

Coleman: The idea of being color blind is now widely attacked in intellectual circles as a form of either naive idealism or a way of ignoring racism and white supremacy rather than dealing with it. In matters of ethics and politics, your race does not and should not matter. Coleman: Race consciousness is the opposite of color blindness - we have to first acknowledge that race really does matter. We shouldn't be considering a politician's skin color when deciding whether he or she can vote for him or her.
