Yipes - the first is a syllabus of "how to view everything through a racial lens" and the second includes the assertion (challenged and not supported) that colorblindness works great in theory but fails in practice.
Neither of these answered my question: "why should person X care about person Y's skin color?"
There are lots of ways I define myself, but none of them involve pigment. Are you telling me that by NOT defining myself in racial terms, I am either being a racist or perpetuating racism? That would be a stunningly Orwellian example of twisting words...
