I'm trying (honestly) to understand your position here. Are you saying you used to think "color blindness" (in the MLK sense) was a good idea -- but you no longer do?
If so: what changed?
- falcolas 3y agoI think that colorblindness, as espoused by MLK, is a fantastic concept; I love to see it in reality. However, when someone today claims they're colorblind, I accept that they most likely don't mean it in the same way that MLK did. And too often, I'm proven right.

I guess, two questions: 1) What is different between what MLK wanted and what "those other people" want today? 2) If two people advocate for the same policy but each has different motivations for it, how does that affect the policy (implementation?) itself?
