Charles Gallagher's article, "Color-Blind Privilege: The Social and Political Functions of Erasing the Color Line" is somewhat of a modern classic in the sociology of race studies. Why you read the article, try to think about examples in your daily lives that reflect what the author is talking about.
1. According to Gallagher, what does it mean to be color-blind and why does he consider color-blindness a myth?
2. Give one example from the article of how race symbols are a "threat" to a color-blind ideology.
3. Give one example from current issues illustrating how race is still relevant.
