If that's what you both think, then you're both wrong. Colorblindness is not the opposite of racism, nor is it a realistic expectation. Anybody who claims not to perceive another's race when looking at them is lying. But you can acknowledge race without using that perception alone to formulate opinions about others, and THAT is what we should be striving for.
So pardon me for pointing out that your own arguments cancel each other out. Saying "We should be colorblind" in the same breath as saying "The BET awards are racist, I want my WET Awards, WHERE'S THE EQUALITY?" is, in total, just the same as staying mute.
Then you are correct. I feel like some others' idea of "equality" is pretending that all races are identical; that's nothing but a recipe for misunderstanding and further hardship.
