Sociologists call this “colorblind racism”. The idea here is that racial inequality between whites and people of color exist and the move to not see race (i.e. be colorblind) benefits whites because they are allowed to keep their racial advantage while pretending that race isn’t important. This is akin to finding out at halftime that the referees in a football game are being paid to throw the game for one team and then this wining team suggesting, “Let’s just get new, fair refs for the second half and keep the score 43–0. Ok?” Ignoring inequality and advantage doesn’t make them go away.

Ron Paul Can’t Be Racist? (via sociolab)

I regret to say that I used to be colorblind, thinking that it was the solution to racism. But upon understanding privilege, and how I am quite privileged, I woke up to the realities. This analogy is perfect. Acknowledging race is not inherently bad. We must acknowledge our privileges and make a level playing field to make any progress.
