A Color-Blind World

Illumination

Inspired by John Ross: Is it OK for White People to Post Photos with African Children to Support Black Lives Matter?

Image by Annelise Lords

My whiteness affords me the privilege to pick and choose when to do this work, their blackness doesn’t.

When did our world get this way? How long has it been allowed to be like this? Can we stop it? How?

We need a color-blind world, With color-blind boys and color-blind girls With their color-blind hearts and color-blind souls Color-blind minds in color-blind roles With a color-blind leader, uniting all With color-blind words that unite, not ignite We need to make color-blind laws, color-blind decisions For color-blind people on color-blind missions

We must have color-blind schools With color-blind teachers teaching color-blind youths Color-blind churches praising a color-blind God A Color-blind preacher, this is not odd Preaching a color-blind gospel from his color-blind bible To color-blind people, with or without a title

We need color-blind doctors Because diseases don’t care What is the color of your eyes, skin or hair We must have color-blind courts With color blind judges, issuing color blind verdicts From color blind juries We need color-blind lawyers To defend our color-blind sons and daughters

Color-blind swimmers need color-blind beaches Because sharks don’t care if you preach or snitches Children need color-blind playgrounds and color-blind parks But not too young to understand what color-blind ask

Open color-blind restaurants and color-blind clubs Accommodating color-blind people enjoying their grubs We need color-blind stores, Where color blind people are opening doors For color-blind shoppers, going from store to store Spending their hard-earned color-blind dollars galore

We must have color-blind workplaces Where our skin and our faces Isn’t a part of our resume Because Tetrachromacy people will assume That race is a requirement For this job of affluence Not paying attention To my education Whether Harvard or Princeton Because being black takes away my option We need a color-blind world to give and get equal rights and attention.

They say dogs are color blind. Dogs don’t care who you are. You give them kindness, they never forget you and they give you back unconditional love. Maybe we should exchange humans with dogs? What do you think? Lol

Thank you for reading this piece. I hope you enjoyed it.
