A two-year old boy walks into a toy store with his mother by his side. He watches eagerly as his mother gestures toward the toys he can get. Narrowing down the options, he decides to get a toy truck. “Which color do you want young man,” the owner asks him politely, looking down at the boy. On the upper shelf, lies a series of shiny, lustrous, and beautiful toy trucks ranging from orange to blue. The boy gazes up and looks confused, staring blankly at the shelf of toys. There are barely any colors to choose from. It’s almost like he is seeing the same colors, only in different shades and “the blue one,” he says while pointing to the purple truck. The owner seems confused, assuming that the boy still doesn’t know his colors, crouches down at eye level with the boy, and tells him “This truck is blue.” The boy is adamant and replies that the truck is blue and that he knows all his colors, but the continues his attempt to tell the boy the act color. Yet, the problem isn’t that the two-year old boy doesn’t know his colors rather, along with 8 percent of males, he suffers from color blindness.

Clara, the quiet beautiful girl with brown eyes and black hair, was a pure joy. At eight years old, she was finishing first grade with excellent results, helping with house chores and making sure that little Chaim was not up to his mischiefs. The blue-eyed Chaim, with his unruly blond hair, was a handful of problems. He had little interest in toys; rather using his endless energy, he followed his father everywhere. His favorite place was the basement; chosen toys were father’s tools.
Seeing
The experience of seeing for Annie Dillard (author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek) is not taken for granted. She fully understands the value and depth sight provides. To Dillard, “Seeing is of course very much a matter of verbalization.” She builds on this by saying, “Unless I call my attention to what passes before my eyes, I simply won’t see it.”

Color-blindness, the belief that a person’s race and/or skin tone does not matter. This is a philosophy of ignorance, found in the supposed ‘post-racial’ society of America. Touched upon in her essay, “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, Patricia Williams utilizes personal anecdotes, allusions, the double standard of race, and the personification of social issues to expose society’s attempts to brush racial problems under the proverbial rug.
Throughout her social commentary, Williams targets the people who state “‘I don’t think about color, therefore your problems don’t exist’”

Alexander raises questions against the idea of colorblindness, she argues that, “The colorblindness ideal is premised on the notion that we, as a society, can never be trusted to see race and treat each other fairly or with genuine compassion.” She writes that the idea of colorblindness makes issues like mass incarceration in which race plays a hefty role nearly invisible. I also support Alexander in her argument that the idea of colorblindness has made society blind to racial discrimination. Race is something that an individual uses to identify themselves and by saying that you’re a being colorblind is also imposing that you do not care about that individual 's culture and their cultural history. “King recognized that it was this indifference
