Being colorblind does not mean you deny the humanity of people with a different skin color.
It does not mean you think that racism is dead.
It does not mean that you are a racist.
Being colorblind means you recognize that having a certain skin color does not change the fact that everyone is God's children.
It means that you see people as individuals and do not categorize them into arbitrary groups.
It means that you don't use race as an excuse for bad choices.
It means that you hold people equally accountable.
It means you know that anyone can be racist because racism is prejudice or discrimination based on race, not "prejudice plus power".
It means that you believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.
It means that you recognize that hate cannot drive out hate, but rather love.
It means that you are aware that it is okay to be white, black, or any other skin color because at the end of the day, all lives matter equally.
"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
-Martin Luther King, Jr
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
-Galatians 3:28
For more information on why colorblindness will end racism and why fighting racism with racism won't end racism, watch these YouTube videos (note that there is swearing involved):
