After years of being subjected to racial taunts, I knew one thing that I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to see color. Even today, I want to say that I don’t see color. But then, particularly in light of the most recent racial events, this phrase “I don’t see color” has come under fire. Many people accuse someone who says such a thing as denying everything that the color of the skin represents. And some even call them a racist.
