If you\\u2019ve ever engaged in a dialogue on race or attempted to invite someone in on their racism, I would bet my favorite pen that you\\u2019ve heard some variation of these.

Hey. I\\u2019ll up the bet.

I\\u2019d wager my favorite pair of headphones that more likely than not it was one of us white folks who uttered said phrases too.

All jokes and bets aside, phrases like \\u201cI don\\u2019t see color\\u201d\\u2014while good intentioned\\u2014derail efforts towards anti-racism.

Rather than being egalitarian, they are actually racist.

Now you might be saying to yourself, \\u201cWhat the hell, Tom? How is this racist?\\u201d
