"Colorblind" has not been seen as an ideal for a very long time, for the simple reason that we all see color. The issue is not seeing color, but valuing all colors. The term "colorblind" has become somewhat offensive in that it advocates blindness, never a good idea.
As to guilt, no one advocated guilt, and this issue is not about guilt. It is about understanding, which I don't think you do yet, as you are refusing to consider the information in the article.
This article, which you really should read, talks about unconscious biases that create more subtly racist interactions, ones where liberal whites deny the life experience of black people as being true and real.
I can see them sprinkled all through this thread, and I honestly see your contribution as another example of that in your refusal to consider the arguments in the article, and instead start talking about guilt.
