The concept of “colorblindness” is anathema to contemporary progressives — they claim that by not seeing race, one cannot see (and thus, combat) racism.
The new head coach of the New England Patriots sees people’s race; he told the media just this at his introductory press conference last week, directly contradicting team owner Robert Kraft.
Progressives especially despise minorities who believe in colorblindness; several academics recently worried in Salon.com that the colorblindness (or “race-blindness”) of GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley and former candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is furthering … white supremacy.
