Its a six page read so be ready... When I saw the title I rolled my eyes. I thought this was going to be a stupid article to guilt trip whites or something. But what I read was actually pretty interesting and it engaged my own perceptions on race and discrimination. Apparently many parents think not talking about race makes their children color blind. When in actuality there is no such thing. Children make associations about the world around them at a very early age but for some reason we try to think that they won't do the same thing with skin color. It's a precarious walk along a tight rope apparently and many parents don't want to give their kids the wrong idea.

I can't agree with everything it says. But I actually agreed with a lot of it. More than I thought I would to an article with a name like that. What do you guys think?
