Occurrences like these make me sick to my stomach. What's worse yet is the fact that this justice, Keith Bardwell, claims that he is not racist. No, he's just worried about the influence of an interracial marriage on the couple's children. I'm working on a paper right now discussing the dangers of colorblindness ideology in the United States. By encouraging that we all just ignore race and its influences, society is ignoring major systemic problems and issues that must be addressed. And, it allows people like Bardwell to make racial statements without "being racist," instead citing any other reason--like concerns for children--to justify race talk.
