And that is the school of thought that requires there to never be progress. If society is actually colorblind, racism disappears because everyone gets treated the same. There would be no more boogeyman to point to. It would mean that if some still lagged behind, for whatever the reason, and whatever they may look like, that it is actually their fault. That's silly, of course, because oppression comes in more dimensions that just race.
But race is the key to the game plan for people in that "school." There can be no new dominance hierarchy with colorblindness. Those claiming colorblindness as oppression, are merely those seeking to invert the oppression and get their turn. I once read someone express it as "rather than trying to do away with the jackboots once and for all, they're trying the jackboots on for size themselves."
