Racism is best defined as the belief that the human race can be divided upon ethnic/racial lines. The truth is that race is a social construct, the Irish for example were not considered white in the USA until relatively recent times.
To give some a free pass because of their race is racist in the extreme. It is paternalistic & re-enforces racist stereotypes that blacks are incapable of supporting themselves.
Color blindness should not be merely the aim, but also the method for ending racism.
