Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

What the hell does "racial colorblindness is still racism" mean?
it's mostly a problem in the situation where a person goes "Racism is over, you shouldn't complain"
You can't dismiss the power that race has in people's lives to this day because institutional racism still exists, and the consequences of the more overt institutional racism of the past are still in effect.
When you say something like "I don't see color" or "I don't see race", you're actively dismissing an immutable part of a person's identity, which is insulting. You can acknowledge and appreciate someone's race without treating them differently because of it.
No that's ridiculous. Not seeing something is in No Way actively doing anything. It is by definition passive.
No it's not, it's actively dismissing someone's race. The passive thing is to say nothing about it.
So I'm neuro divergent and I don't see people in terms of race. I guess I'm racist now. Who knew. You freaking people are why the right thinks we're insane. Blind people are racist too?
Here is me actively dismissing. I see your skin color and I make a conscious decision to omit that fact.
You are saying if someone doesn't actually notice the color of people when we see them we are racist. That's exactly like saying people who are deaf are rude for ignoring you when you speak. Ridiculous.
We're not expecting you to see people in terms of race. That would be profiling. You're being far too literal and not making a point in good faith by trying to equate visual impairment in this context.
Please look up the difference between equality and equity, and why equality isn't sufficient and can in fact still be exclusionary in today's reality. That's the point we're trying to make here.
Forgive me for thinking words mean what they say. This is part of the problem the left has in general. You guys are too lazy to have long discussions so you keep making up labels and words that no one knows what they mean then you go around calling people who aren't even fighting you racist. The entire tone of this thread has been beyond stupid. Don't get me started on how many letters have been added to LGBTQBBQWTF when the Q was supposed to be the end of it as a catch-all. It's like you guys WANT to be misunderstood.
The colour blindness of children is what you're thinking of. They're the only ones untainted by the racism they will inevitably be exposed to later in life.
You'd have to be incredibly innocent, ignorant, or obtuse, if you got to adulthood without being aware that a person's visible race will affect how others (like racists) will treat them.
It's easy to be aware of a fact in a moment and lose sight of it in practice it a complex scenario. As I said, I'm neuro divergent, and my closest friends who know me well would liken the naive or innocent way I view things to be similar to childlike naivete. Maybe their not the only ones as untainted as you think. I've grown up experiencing very little racism while being brown skinned, so I just don't think about it in my day to day view.
If there's two different forms of racial colorblindness, and it's ok for kids to be one and adults can't be the other one, I don't know it just sounds like dumb nonsense labels purposefully designed to start arguments. Almost sounds like troll language.
