Color Blind

I hate the idea of race, the use of race is a separator is an un-evolved rational. It’s an antiquated method of social grouping that was at one time during our evolution was required for our very survival. I can’t stand it, and it makes me very upset. I was us to evolve; I want Color Blindness to become the next social epidemic that plagues the minds humanity that is predisposed racial separation.
In high school I was introduced to implicit test. I recently just re-took the test with a score of “Little to no automatic preference between Black and White people,” this score is by about 17% of the population that took this test. I have scored the same thing throughout the years, except for once if memory serves where I received a “slight preference for Black” assessment. I have taken this test at least 5 times in my life over the years. Here is the link to the test should you want to take it as well. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/user/featuredtasks/relg2009/fdirect.htm
This test made me think in high school, what exactly did this mean in the real world? I had always knew that I really didn’t care about the color of your skin but how come others did? What made them have an automatic predisposition to one race or another? This test isn’t an answer to any of these; in all honesty I think it’s a test to see how cultural influences impact your response to visual stimuli.
Rather than spend and eternity defining the method for which man evolved a sense of racial prejudice, I will simply state, its woven into our minds. You and I have a genetic predisposition to separate and group with people that are like me. Much like the animals in the pound, who under close observation group with similar animals; we human beings evolved to stick alongside those like us. Like the dogs, it was probably out of concern for one’s own safety and wellbeing, you different than us, and you may be a threat. This is a thread in the fabric of our existence, weaved into the core of the reptilian brain we all possess.
This “animal instinct” or learned behavior stored in the memory of out generations past has tempted our cerebral cortex to continue the tradition and pass along this redundant information to those following us. We have learned to cope with these behaviors such as rape and brutality; we have evolved a social structure that looks upon these savage acts as beyond humanity, even though it is literally at our core. We have grown up, and most of us have moved beyond these primal urges that we continue to see in the wild in less evolved creatures. However, racism is still the one abstract we cannot seem to shake.
Ask a blind man what race he prefers is like asking a deaf man what music he likes, there will be no cohesive answer because (had he not been born with sight/ hearing) he would not know the context of the question. Racism cannot exist in a man that sees no color; this animal inheritance is muted and discarded by the upper levels of the brain. If we were all so lucky to have that autonomous mental faculty turn recessive, racism and separatism would disappear. Being color blind would bring the end racial preference, ignoring the fact that one is black and the other is white is as simple as ignoring the color of another eyes, as that color too is perpetuated by distribution of melanin. Tell me, what is the color of the eyes of the person you see mostly every day at work or school? Few would answer this question correctly even about their loved ones. We are blind to the color of others eyes because we did not evolved looking at the color of the eyes of potential enemies, only the color of their skin was clear enough to see before our ancestors began to run, or fight. Just like our forefathers, if we do not see the color we do not register it as a threat, therefor we have no problem with communal relations with those of different color eyes.
Be color blind, stop noticing the difference and accept we all have melanin, mute the part of your mind that sees melanin of the skin as anything different than the melanin of the eyes.
