Can’t be colorblind and see me

As a future mother of a biracial child and as black America I get insulted when someone says they don’t see my color. Unless you’re legally blind, my race is an attribute (like hair and eye color) but it is also my heritage and has helped to build parts of my identity. When you deny the truth, no the beauty that can be found in everyone’s hue and story, you lessen them to objects.
