💜 #Repost @p22mountainlion (@get_repost) ・・・ Another great photo of my handsome self by my homeboy @ordenana4 and with an important message. From Miguel “This recent P22 Mountain Lion of Hollywood photo perfectly captured a facial expression that has become too common in our household these days, after months of my family being with each other 24/7. My “strong-willed” daughter regularly gives me this look when I interrupt her play time to make a sad attempt at homeschooling. But seriously, it’s great to have access to #griffithpark again and be able to check in on P-22 with my #cameratraps. However, it’s concerning to see so many park users without masks, the lack of social distancing, and so much mask litter on the trails. Even if you are confident that you are healthy please set an example for others so we can protect ourselves and the most vulnerable communities. Griffith Park is unique by offering a variety of recreational opportunities, which serves L.A.’s diverse population very well. I’d especially like to remind everyone of this park’s importance to visitors who come from park poor communities in search of a more accessible (close, affordable, familiar) version of Yosemite. Let’s use this forced time away from @lacityparks as an opportunity to reassess the unique value of nature TO EVERYONE, and how we can coexist better with each other and wildlife. #recognizeyourprivilege #natureforall #savelacougars @latinooutdoors @outdoorafro @blackafinstem @blackgirlstrekkin @friends_of_griffith_park @natureinla https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRpTvyhp-W/?igshid=x7ow2fptsb30

I don't usually post political things on my business page or even my personal page. I try to keep it off social media but this time I can't stay quiet. I have missed opportunities to speak up and educate those around me, when they are speaking from a privileged view. I've stayed quiet because who wants conflict? Not anymore. I'll be having those hard conversations and sharing resources. In person and heck, even on here. I'm still learning and learning how to help. If you have feedback for me I'm totally open to it. #blacklivesmatter and we can't stay quiet about it. This violence and racism needs to change. Resources and more info will be posted in my stories. #blm #dontstaysilent #changeyourmindset #recognizeyourprivilege // On a different note. Here is a photo of a lovely couple that is getting married next year! They are pretty rad! #hawaiiwedding #gettingmarried2021#love #weddingphotography (at Sandy, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_K2hHnXMK/?igshid=inh3a16j4vzc

Voting gives you an active role in participating in the #present and the #future. Not voting creates this mythical #belief that what you are not presently satisfied with will transform on its own. The idea that if I #ignore it; it will go away. Ideas of #social change or better #choices doesn't decrease the time and energy we must spend on #maintenance to create a platform for the future. Failing to exercise your voting privilege rarely aligns with creating #empathy or #safety for people whose identities and lives are threatened by the system on a daily basis. #vote #ghost #stories #election #right #duty #election2016 #dontbooVote #selffullfillingprophecy #civicduty #privilege #recognizeyourprivilege

Criticism of "color blindness"

In 1997 Leslie G. Carr published "Color-Blind Racism" (Sage Publications) which reviewed the history of racist ideologies in America. He saw "color-blindness" as an ideology being promoted to undercut the legal and political foundation of integration and affirmative action. Stephanie M. Wildman, in her book Privilege Revealed: How Invisible Preference Undermines America, writes that many Americans who advocate a merit-based, race-free worldview do not acknowledge the systems of privilege which benefit them. For example, many Americans rely on a social and sometimes even financial inheritance from previous generations. She argues that this inheritance is unlikely to be forthcoming if one's ancestors were slaves, and privileges whiteness, maleness, and heterosexuality.

Critics allege that majority groups use practices of color-blindness as a means of avoiding the topic of racism and accusations of racial discrimination, and thus hide their true racial views, and that color blindness is used as a tool in attacking group legal rights gained exclusively by some minority groups.

Critics assert that color blindness allows people to ignore the racial construction of whiteness, and reinforces its privileged and oppressive position. In colorblind situations, whiteness remains the normal standard, and blackness remains different, or marginal. As a result, white people are able to dominate when a color blind approach is applied because the common experiences are defined in terms which white people can more easily relate to than blacks. Insistence on no reference to race, critics argue, means black people can no longer point out the racism they face.

Critics of color-blindness argue that color-blindness operates under the assumption that we are living in a world that is "post-race", where race no longer matters, when in fact it is still a prevalent issue. While it is true that overt racism is rare today (Bonilla-Silva, Eduardo.; 2006, p. 25), critics insist that more covert forms have taken its place (Bonilla-Silva, Eduardo.; 2006, p. 25). Eduardo Bonilla-Silva suggests that racial practices during the Jim Crow Era were typically overt and clearly racial, whereas today they tend to be covert, institutional, and apparently nonracial.[13] Another criticism is that color-blindness views racism at the individual level (e.g. Lines of reasoning such as "I don't own slaves" or "I have very close black friends" to defend oneself) without looking at the larger social mechanisms in which racism operates. In an article in the journal New Directions for Student Services, Nancy Evans and Robert Reason argued that color-blindness fails to see the "structural, institutional, and societal" levels at which inequalities occur
