"The ideal of a color-blind society is a pale imitation of a greater grander ideal: where our skin will be neither a badge for undue privilege nor a sign of social stigma. But we can strive for a society where each receives his or her just due, where the past in all its glory and grief is part of the equation of racial justice and social equality. Then we won't need to be blind to color, which in any case is a most morbid state of existence. Then we can embrace our history and ideals with the sort of humane balance that makes democracy more than a distant dream."
-Michael Eric Dyson

Thanks for that. Really needed to read it this week in particular.
