Psychology Today describes color blindness as "the racial ideology that posits that the best way to end discrimination is to treat individuals as equally as possible, without regard to race, culture or to ethnicity". Very often people use it as a way to feel more comfortable when approaching a conversation about race, completely discrediting someone's background to make themselves feel better about their own discomfort around the topic. This idea is often used by feminists, meaning they attempt to reduce and devalue the race of other women and to reject their problems as women of color and instead pursue their goals as white women. While this idea of ​​everyone being seen as equal and treated equally, regardless of race, seems ideal, the fact of the matter is that by downplaying their heritage they make themselves feel better about their white privilege while ignoring the issue of racism. and white supremacy. Bell Hooks pointed out in her novel “Feminism is for Everyone” that “for years I have witnessed the reluctance of white feminist thinkers to recognize the importance of race. I witnessed their refusal to strip away white supremacy, their unwillingness to recognize that an anti-racist feminist movement was the only political foundation that could make sisterhood a reality” (Bell Hooks). If white women continued to practice colorblindness, it would only drive the movement further apart, if they were to address the racism embedded in gender, it could make the movement as a whole much stronger.
