"I'm Not Racist...I Don't See Color"

Stop.

That's such a bullshit line.

Unless you're legitimately colorblind, I hope you can see color! My best friend is black. I am just as aware of the fact that she is black as I am the fact that I am white. I am a white human being. She is a black human being. I notice Asian human beings and I also notice Indian human beings. I notice all skin colors and types and all of that.

The difference is I do not discriminate against people for these things.

Why would I deny the fact that my best friend is black? It's not like she doesn't know she is. Me stating a fact about it isn't going to come as some shock to her.

Okay, I'll admit, I did forget once that she was black when I was in dire need of cover up but that was an emergency. I also remembered two seconds later when she started laughing at me for asking.

But that's the thing, we all notice peoples' colors...AND THAT'S OKAY. It's okay to be aware of the color of somebody's skin. The problem is when you have prejudice or discrimination towards that person for such things.

So let's cut the bullshit. I know you're black. You know I'm white. We both see it.

Let's just start accepting each other and stop focusing so much on sounding so advanced and so accepting by saying these things.

If you're ACTUALLY an accepting human, people will know. Trust me.

Moral of the story: just BE accepting. Stop trying to state how accepting you are.
