You are exactly right. The onus has been on white people from the start to be the ones to “not see color”. Others have used this to their advantage and run with it, because they “see color” with a vengeance, and use it for all it’s worth. Unless we want to remain the scapegoat for all evils in this country, and the whipping boy for the failures of others, we now have no choice but to come together as a tribe and damn the names we’ll be called for doing so-knock-out king and polar bear hunting can break our bones, words can never hurt us.
Someone on one of the FR spin off sites once said something to the effect that, "there is a reason WHY the world shook out like it did". Basically that there is no one more ruthless and clever than the white man. When he decides, collectively, he wishes to survive, look out.
