Now all you need to do is apologize to [your] fellow white folks for lecturing them about 'stuff they often get wrong', otherwise you'd still be treating people

Now all you need to do is apologize to [your] fellow white folks for lecturing them about 'stuff they often get wrong', otherwise you'd still be treating people different based on their skin colour.
Why not just drop the whole subject of separating people based on the colour of their skin or hair or whatever other innate property (gender, sexual orientation, laterality...) and treat people as... people? Don't talk to 'your fellow (people_of_whatever_colour|gender|laterality|...)', talk to people who share a political opinion or religion or field of interest.
- SwellJoe 10y agoI disagree with that assessment, based on reading a whole lot of people of color's writing on the subject of solving racism. I'm doing the best I can in the time I have on earth to undo racism and the harm it causes. I don't always get it right, but being colorblind is not always the right answer.
