if kim kardashian ‘doesn’t see color’, how did she date so many black men?

For those of you who haven’t been paying any attention whatsoever “colorblindness” isn’t a thing. And worse, when people claim it what they’re really doing is denying responsibility for changing racial dynamics as they exist today.

Colorblindness is only a good thing if you think that racial color is a bad thing. There’s no positive reason to claim not to visually see and consciously acknowledge parts of someone’s identity. And doing so only allows the colorblind to forfeit responsibility for understanding the complex issues and experiences other people face because of race.

White women like Kim Kardashian who profess colorblindness (inconsistently, at that) while simultaneously surrounding themselves with black men and black cultural as if to enshrine themselves in a negrophilia paradise, are fetishizing blackness while using colorblindness as a scapegoat for their racism.

It’s not a coincidence that of the six Kardashian-Jenner women, five of them are in relationships with black men “Why are you wasting black people’s time talking about the Kardashian’s at all?” Because whether you like it or not, Kim Kardashian and Ko. and their affiliation with black men and their reputation of stealing from black woman business owners, is relevant to the black community and it should be called out. And, frankly, it’s downright disturbing that in doing so they express no interest in using their platforms to support the black community while we’re in the midst of a global civil rights movement.
