On becoming colorblind.

I like it that America is becoming less and less white. A blending of many races and ethnic groups. We Americans are darker-skinned than we used to be.  I’m whiter than most. Blue-eyed, too. But I’m very comfortable with the darker hues. Doesn’t bother me a bit if I’m perceived as a minority.  Because color should never have been a big thing. I like all kinds of color. Contrasting colors.  Really, shouldn’t make an iota of difference. Whether I’m black or white. Or purple, for that matter. Guess I’ve become more or less colorblind. –Jim Broede
