11. YES!! "willfully choosing to not recognize a very important way in which I see myself."

I am immensely proud of being black. So when someone (and let's be real - it is ALWAYS a "well meaning" white person that says this) says "they don't see color," I not only view this as 100% unbelievable but I also view this as someone willfully choosing to not recognize a very important way in which I see myself. I WANT you to see that I am black. What I don't want is a whole bunch on nonsense "she must be x/y/z BECAUSE she is black" on top of it.

YES!!! brilliant!!! i think that is THE point about "color blind"!!

we don't need to be "color blind," we need be color cherishing, color celebrating , color adoring!!!

we need EQUALITY!!

we need to end PREJUDICE!!

- to end white privilege



thank you so very much for your kind words, dear Number23
