Racial identity

Quote:
To be honest, I want to live in a colorblind world. I want race to simply not matter anymore.

But as one black woman in class pointed out, "If you don't see that I'm black, you don't see me."

But she sees me as a white person. Can I see myself that way? What would it mean if I did?

Whites with racial identity
The only identity whites are allowed is that of oppressor of non-whites.

Is that a fair assessment?
