Here is why I don't like when someone says, “I don’t see color.” What are your thoughts?

@zhivi @BlackMastodon If someone says "I don't see color" and they also don't see the impacts of, for some examples, Jim Crow laws, redlining, voter suppression efforts, and mass incarceration of black people they are arguably willfully ignorant and only persist in their ignorance due to unearned privilege. If they aren't ignorant, well, then what we have here is an "eyes wide open" racist who would prefer not to see color, as that benefits them. (Looking at the SCOTUS majority.)
