On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his most notable speech. He proclaimed to all that would listen, “I have a dream! I dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin... but by the content of their character!” This statement introduced the colorblind ideology to the American people. Dr. King's revelation is based on the premise that there is no profiling of an individual based on skin color. This ensures the avoidance of superiority and inferiority and enforces equality. The problem that arose following the statement of the speech is the issue of applied social color blindness. Although King explicitly states that we should not assume a person's character based solely on appearance, this has been misinterpreted to mean that we should completely ignore race, ethnicity, and culture when recognizing people entirely. Ideology is defined as the representation of the imaginary relationship of individuals with the real conditions of their existence. This creates an air of false consciousness that hides the truth, controls class conflict, and maintains the status quo. Ideological state apparatuses, the institutions in which ideology operates, impose a designated role, or forms, on individuals and limit their ability to transcend those objective roles. Since human beings cannot recognize themselves outside of their assigned ideologies, they must acquire their identity by seeing themselves through the perception of others. (Althusser ISA) Supporters of the colorblind ideology share the idea that the best way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to end any form of discrimination on the basis... at the heart of the paper... minorities, resulting in decreased cognitive performance (Holoien et al., 2011). Given what is at stake, we can no longer afford to be blind. It's time for change and growth. It's time to see. The alternative to color blindness is multiculturalism, an ideology that recognizes, highlights, and celebrates ethnoracial differences. It recognizes that every tradition has something valuable to offer. He is not afraid to see how others have suffered due to conflict or racial differences. So how do we become multicultural? The following suggestions would be a good start (McCabe, 2011): Recognize and value differences, Teach and learn differences, and Promote personal friendships and organizational alliances. Moving from color blindness to multiculturalism is a process of change, and change is never easy, but we can't afford to stay the same.
