I can't believe I'm agreeing with Eveningstar here, but we should strive to be colorblind

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.

We can achieve that.  But I enjoy looking at a crowd of people of many races -- I like the variety of colors we come in.

I'm just talking about colorblindness in the law

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.

One hit you just dont get it! No one here wants WET awards..We just don't want the BET awards either. You have no argument. Its redundant, pointless, you are talking just to talk. Find another blog where your points will make sense........
