Color Blind

“I don’t see color”

The cry for people who live in a “post racial” world

The reason you don’t see color is because you have your eyes closed

Closed to the truth

Closed to the reality of today

To open your eyes would be an admittance of your true self

You have lived in the dark your whole life

Basking in the glory of your ignorance

Blind to the world around you

A world full of people of color

To not see us is to ignore our existence

To say we don’t matter and believe it to your core

When you say, “I don’t see color”

You have willfully erased billions of people from your world

And in doing so you have condoned the atrocities that have happened to them

Until you see color you cannot truly see the world you live in
