Even the author doesn't believe in racial color blindness¹. This TED Talk is content marketing for his personal brand, his business doing speaking engagements² ($10-20K each), and his forthcoming book, and he's just upset that his YouTube view count shows that few people care what he thinks about the topic.
¹ "Taking that viewpoint seriously — while ultimately refuting it — was the express purpose of my talk."

- i_am_jl 3y agoColeman Hughes does indeed believe in racial color blindness. The viewpoint he's taking seriously while ultimately refuting is that "color blindness is, in fact, a Trojan horse for white supremacy."
- toyg 3y agoI don't know why he'd say that, when he ended the talk literally saying it's the best way to govern a multi-racial society and that we should use it right now as much as possible.
- JamesBarney 3y agoOn his twitter Coleman says that his youtube views were what he was expecting, it's the view directly from the TED Talk website that seemed surprisingly low.
