[edit] Another Point of View
Sometimes people see race blindness as a bad thing. --71.247.213.232 18:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sometimes people see affarmative action a bad thing. --Zslevi 21:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Quote: White people often adhere to practices of colorblindness as a means to avoid the topic of racism and accusations of racism, and thus hide their true racial views.[5] Color blindness is the most effective tool of conservative movements in attacking legal rights gained by minority groups.[6]
Wow haven't seen rascism and misrepresentation like that in a while. It looks as though it is saying that by denying rascism and promoting Dr. Kings vision of a color blind world, conservatives are rascists. How dare they not divide people by race and color. (Sarcasm)
This article is extremely biased and I am disgusted by it Fuglewarrior (talk) 01:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll echo your sentiment that the long quote is unnecessarily harsh. It implies whites are all racist (but that only some of them try to hide it) and that conservatives are all out to destroy the legal rights of minorities. The "often" there is also highly dubious - I've only known one person who said she doesn't notice other people's race, and she wasn't white. Finally I'll also agree with you that MLK's "I have a dream" speech was definitely advocating a race-blind society, and in the interest of balance this article ought to mention it instead of portraying race blindness merely as the propoganda of the evil white oppressors. 205.175.225.22 (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] move
Are there any objections to moving this article to Color blindness (race)? I think this is the more common term used for the concept. Yahel Guhan 06:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Unbelivable
This is the kind of repugnant, biased filth I have come to expect on Wikipedia. This is not even tagged as violating NPOV when the thing reads like a race-warfare screed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.195.161.155 (talk) 05:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- You are welcome to fix the problem if you have reliable sources to do so. Yahel Guhan 23:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ha!
- Color blindness makes no sense in a society where people are, on the basis of group membership alone, have been, and continue to be treated differently
Should'nt this be "Color blindness does not exist in a society where people are, on the basis of group membership alone, have been, and continue to be treated differently"? It's this sentence which makes no sense. 65.197.28.158 (talk) 17:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
The article still presents anti-color-blindness viewpoints as facts. Citing sources for these viewpoints isn't enough. The article clearly needs an overhaul and I marked it as POV. --Zumbo (talk) 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
