The definition of racism seems to be an elusive thing. It’s always expanding and I sympathize with White People who always have to refresh their feeds to stay abreast of things that are constantly deemed racist.

‘Oh no, I don’t see color’, I don’t see anything wrong with this phrase. But somehow, it is racist. According to some SJWs, not seeing color is a sign of racism. That means being color blind means you have refused to acknowledge POC as human beings and refused to see their ‘oppression. LOL.

I wonder why anyone takes them seriously.

Not seeing color means that I don’t go about choosing who to relate with because of their color. Doing that would be racist, in my opinion, because you’re discriminating against skin color. But not seeing color simply means you’re not race-obsessed and that you couldn't give two hoots about someone's color. That you want to relate with the human and not the shade of what they look like.

However, these race-obsessed leftists — who are giving leftism a bad rap, by the way — seem to want everyone to see color, largely because it’s what keeps them relevant. They want you to see color because you not seeing color means you just don’t want to view the world through the lenses of race. And I don’t have any problem with that.

Academics like Robin DiAngelo, Afua Hirsch, a journalist, would grunt as you say these words. Don’t get me wrong, I tots adore these women because of their passion for what they do and their amazing fashion sense. But why do they just feel as though they can redefine the boundaries of the word racism?

They play with words and language, a classic postmodernist gimmick. Social objectivism, the idea that there is no truth. So if there is no objective truth then White people, I’m sorry but you guys are fucked, because they have you where they want you. And I’m not trying to sound like some populist or antagonist but the truth is, there is no logic in saying that using the defense of not seeing color is racist.

You can choke on that defence if you think it’s racist. I’m not going to waste my time trying to explain to you that I go about my daily activities easily without considering race as a factor in helping me navigate life.

Racism is outright discrimination against a person on the basis of their skin color. And if that is too hard to comprehend, it’s a your business, not mine. You may be looking for minions to help you in your effort to bolsters political sentiments that’ll help your career, campaign, or just make yourself feel good, but I will not ever succumb to the saying, ‘I see color’, because I don’t, choke on that!
