The Black Conservative Case Against Colorblind Conservativsm

“The message conservatives need to be advancing is that race matters vis-à- vis specific issues.”

"Indeed, race matters; however, two things happen when some conservatives propagate the wrongheaded, politically correct idea that race is obsolete.  First, they make the road clear for liberal sophists to persuade people that race matters in all the places where it does not,

and second, conservatives lose the ability to effectively challenge liberals on the caustic effects of their policies on minority communities."

The fanciful idea of living in a colorblind society is one of the greatest impediments to sophisticated discussions about race in America. If there is going to be a soothing of racial tensions in American society, there first has to be an understanding that race --

.. albeit a social construct based on some biological realities -- exists and matters, and it is not just a vestigial figment of centuries-old white racism."
