Color Blindness

The color of blood remains unchanged, flowing for eons in the stream of time evolved, as the ancient singular ethnic ancestor etched the diverse footprints of humanity on the globe. The splayed common heredity thriving insulated, flourished into different lineages of humankind, the physical traits diversified to get typified, while melanin played with color on the skin. Born to breathe the free air of the blue planet, equality pines under the shroud of deprivation. The unkind human history gets modulated with the misplaced sense of superiority. Evolution produced physically distinct groups, the construct of race isn’t grounded on biology, but is a socially invented concept used to exploit the people of color who are not less human. In the egalitarian framework the critical paradigm recognizes the banality of racism afflicting social norms. People born under the free sky deserving equity like to see the human race becomes color blind. July 18, 2021 Contest : Critical Race Theory Sponsor : Anthony Biaanco
