Friendly reminder that colorblindness is a counterproductive ideology that diminishes the unique differences and experiences of racial groups.

30 years ago today, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech at the time. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.
