This selective «colorblindness» is a mighty convenient approach to race in America for white people, for it allows us to paper over America's
troubled (and decidedly anti-Christian) history, to discount
racism as a thing
of the past for which we are no longer responsible, and to ignore persistent racial injustices like mass incarceration, police brutality, voting rights
issues, white flight, and economic inequality, all while consistently benefiting from an oppressive system we claim we can not even see.
