Why Colorblindness Is a Virtue
Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass were both dedicated to bringing about an America that was colorblind, Andre Archie says, but their work is being undermined.\xa0\n\u201cWhen I say colorblind, it's not naive at all,\u201d says Archie, an author and professor at Colorado State University. \u201cIt speaks to a tradition that we find with MLK, with Frederick Douglass, with the Founders, right, in principle. We also find it in the Western philosophical tradition; so, my goal is to rehabilitate that.\u201d\n\xa0\nIn his new book, \u201cThe Virtue of Color-Blindness,\u201d Archie explains how what he calls the \u201ccult\u201d of diversity, equity and inclusion has harmed society and is contrary to the vision of America\u2019s greatest civil rights leaders, and what can be done about it.\xa0\nArchie joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to explain the role conservatives must play in restoring\xa0a vision of a colorblind America.\xa0\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
