The Confessions of A Systemically White, Color-Blind Caste Member.
.
When I was Republican white boy woke, I almost noticed something missing from before. I was seeing our color-blind caste system with new eyes. There, right in front of me, was the strangest and most unknowable sight. The outlines of something called racism, which no liberal can see in a conservative’s heart or mind, so we cannot be considered racist.
.
Seeing no color, due to being blind from it, I could hardly believe what I was not really seeing. In every instance where racist data pointed, gathered by liberals, there were problems in our society. Most conservatives like myself said, those white culture discrediting data discoveries are merely remnants and residue from Technicolor images of the past, which we whites can no longer see.
.
I wish it was easier to explain away. Explaining away is such a cherished feature of the white color-blind caste. White of course means normal, not something aberrant, like other colors we cannot see. Not seeing colors makes a caste system impossible, except if it is a color-blind caste system, which sees no color to avoid seeing the negative aspects of life, seeing color discovers.
