Hey, you.
Yes, you!
Put your pronouns in your bio!
Yes, even if you’re cis.
Help normalize pronoun sharing and protect trans people from unwanted identification!
Thanks, you

that tells the rest of us to basically erase our experiences and identities because white folk are uncomfortable with the fact ideas/cultures/values are different and shaped differently and celebrated differently.
-
It's hard for me to tell if you think i'm white and it's a statement about me or just a general statement. either way, i think ideas/cultures/values should aim to progress towards something objectively better, no matter where that improvement comes from.
-
It's general about colourblindness. It's a white notion that strips people of culture, experience, and identity no matter who is perpetuating it. Before 1930, Mulattos were an actual legal race. Half black/half white. Our kids were quadroons, our grandkids octaroons.

Mulattos who passed, like myself, pretty much left and started over somewhere new as a white person. There is black turning up in so many families they never knew about because people passed quietly for years. The entire culture, food, music that could have been? Who knows.

well the "one drop" is bullshit and racism(taking your word for it, not versed in it)and while I agree that thinkig about other possible cultures that could have been could be interesting, I don't see how it relates to opinions matter more/less depending on skin color.

It's officially known as hypodescent and is still technically a thing today although I don't think most people know much about it. In the mid 2000s there was a move by http://Mulatto.org to reclaim the word, but it ended up dying out to "biracial" https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html …

I got really into this because I never really understood how me being half of two things did not mean I wasn't something new. Like when I make chocolate milk, it's not half chocolate syrup and half white milk. It's chocolate milk. I guess I wanted to know why I wasn't anything

as I said, yes, everything we do is shaped by who we are, but at the end the most important thing is what we end up saying. and I'm not too versed in us history, but I believe one of the most prominent defenders of colorblindness was martin luther king. wich was black.

https://academic.udayton.edu/race/03justice/justice06.htm … The full article is here: http://racism.org/index.php/articles/defining-racism/143-colorblind-racism/869-justice06-1?showall=&start=1 … I absolutely disagree. MLK's words have been twisted and misused out of context so much to perpetuate this idea.

Colorblindness isn't a white notion. It's just having empathy for other people, everyone can do it
-
Colourblindness only has empathy for people who feel guilty about being racist and it erases and invalidates the rest of our experiences with racism.
-
I think I have different definition of colorblindness. I would say it's to treat everyone the same regardless of race.
-
Exactly. Don't prejudge people based on arbitrary traits. We are literally all humans, one race. Some people trying to combat racism don't see themselves becoming racist in the process. Two wrongs.. look into the abyss.. people who fight monsters.. all that.
