When people focus on not seeing color, they may also fail to see discrimination.” The reality is that those who do not see race cannot see racial disparity. From Eberhardt, the truth is that “the color-blind approach has consequences that can actually impede our move toward equality. Looking over the scope of his entire life and thought, we see that King was not color-blind.Īnd for good reason-new research shows that a color-blind approach has precisely the opposite outcome than what we intend.
is the role model most frequently referenced by color-blind disciples, based on his dream that his “four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” However, to assume that King was color-blind (as we understand it) on the basis of one sentence from one speech is to take his words out of context. Of course, as disciples of Christ we also have Christian role models that we have looked to as color-blind exemplars.
