I am an activist, independent researcher and I wear many other hats.  Above all, I am in pursuit of social justice.  So, on this site, I share with you solid research, good reads, and thought-provoking ways to combat the overwhelming threat of color-blind thinking.  Believing, or at least pretending that we are beyond racism, because we are a civilized world.  Right now, we are struggling with the civilized part.  And that’s where this site steps in.  We need to talk about race in a personal way.  You might think we’ve been talking about race FOREVER.  We have, and we haven’t.  Perhaps we have not had the right conversations.  This has left many of us exasperated.  I talk a lot about what we need to do.  I present a lot of good information about racial dialogue.  I call out the color-blind lie and expose its destructive power.

The photo above says a lot about how we make sense of racism today, how we make sense of each other (or don’t).  Justice is not blind.  But we certainly are.  At least, when it comes to really learning who we are – in the context of our dialogue about race and understanding our polarity.  This website takes the blinders off.   For decades, color-blindness has increasingly given us license not to see each other.  It is not as easy as looking at social media, turning on the news, or even opening a good book.  Those alone are complicated, divisive endeavors these days.

Finally, can we really feign ignorance?  For the person who relies upon color-blindness to express disbelief that things are actually as bad as all that – again look to recent news to prove the point: Starbucks.  News gets out there.  Not all of it, and not to all of us, but in a time when we are so connected, it is difficult to hide behind the claim, I didn’t know.
