The men who made these shows, co-developed "colorblindness" with MLK. It was the right thing to do: the human thing to do. Unfortunately only young whites were subsequently raised that way, and blacks themselves en masse re-ushered-in mandatory color-awareness culture (and even enforced segregation), with BLM.
Racism was, is, and evidently always will be, leftist. EDIT: it's too useful a tool to divide voting blocks, so's to play them against each other...
Colorblindness can't work without extremely strong social stigma against using accusations of racism as a cudgel. And the victim classes are never going to give that up.
You're assuming that colorblindness can work only if there is constant virtue-signaling about 'racism'.
As long the common reaction to "THAT GUY IS A RACIST" is a witch-hunt rather than "eh, weird, but what can you do?" you're not in the right place.
Imagine hearing about someone who really hates people with green eyes. You wouldn't try to get him fired. You'd just think it's weird and move on. That's how it should be.
that would be nice but the last 60 years have proven that doesn't work
The fact that it is not what happened does not mean that it "doesn't work". Far be it from me to pretend to know what can happen or what will happen, but I don't think you know either.
liberalism has no defense against it
Maybe the failure is liberalism's and not that of the idea that people should be treated as people regardless of race, which originates not with liberalism but with Christianity, and possibly before.

That's exactly how it should be, if we weren't under the thumb of a progressive anti-racist cult.

either the gay commies have to be "oppressed" or they will grab institutional power and use it against their opponents
