This video was all over the place from a clip of a Black man talking about being beaten with a switch by his mother and a clip about a Black farmer traveling through Washington D.C. in his tractor to protest Congress not releasing monies to Black from a discrimination settlement, to a hodge podge of other topics discussed in the interview. Included among that discussion were what I believe were some subtle jabs that Christine Amapour directed against the Obama administration. In my opinion, the subject of color blindness got lost in these clips and in that interview.

Actually, the thing about this video that was most interesting to me was seeing a Black woman with blondish locs (dread locs). At one time, it would have been incongruent to find a Black woman with a natural hairstyle and dyed blond hair. I wouldn't do it, but different strokes for different folks. Nowadays, when it comes to hair, just about anything goes in the USA, including Black woman shaving their hair completely off, though this is a style only a few women are brave enough to rock. Come to think of it, maybe this does have something to do with colorblindness after all, since I referenced the race of women when I noted certain hairstyles, including no hair at all.

For the record, I don't believe that the goal should be colorblindness. I love the diversity of people and skin complexions. Instead of color blindness, I believe that we should be working toward a time when skin color (or hair color, for that matter) has no positive or negative valuation.

I don't think you realize you just defined colorblindness when pertaining to race. Being color blind to race means not seeing skin color as having any significant value, it's just a thing that's there, like eye color.
