And in my view this is a much healthier path towards the ideal of a colorblind society it used to be common sense on the left and in liberal circles that that's what you wanted to do.

So in my book I advocate that people just stop saying that it gives enemies of colorblind as far to easy a target what you should say instead is I try to treat people without regard to race.

And we don't regard, we don't give weight to each other's races when we treat each other.

I had just started my podcast, Conversations With Coleman. I was still in the research phase of my book, which is now finished and has been out for a few months called The End of Race Politics, Arguments for a Colorblind America.

In chapter two, I devote to just a historical examination of where this idea of colorblindness comes from.

So there's been a very successful PR campaign against the concept of colorblindness to the point where you've had celebrities that advocate for it have to walk it back and apologize publicly and so forth.

my goal with this book is to tell the truth about the history of colorblindness, where it came from, to tell the logic behind the principle, why is it such a good principle for a multiracial society? Why is it the only path forward?

The book is called The End of Race Politics, Arguments for a Colorblind America. You can buy it on Amazon.
