I am the poster child for trying to "not see color". I never let go of being proudly Black, but I was thinking that racism was dying out and we could all just exist and be equal.
But I have been awakened to the simple fact that EVERY racial group is on average racist against Black people. And for ADOS FBA (I absolutely do not get into diaspora warz but the terms are usefully descriptive) American Black people, it seems that even other groups of Black people are racists against us.
For me it meant dropping everything and moving back to the crib. With my peops. I couldn't stand cheesing with white coworkers and neighbors knowing they truly didn't think I was a full person.
Idris. The ideal would be great but this Earth may never overcome racism. Until there's only one race (after race mixing reaches it's ultimate outcome. All mix back together into one "race". This will be pretty far into the future from the standpoint of one human lifetime).
