    Sorry to all the Ignorant (And to some of you really trully nice!!!) People who posted, but I have to go here in order to answer truthfully.)"Color-blindness" is an option that only exists for those for whom Color never has been and never will an obstacle. And the ramifications of your insinuation that "Race doesn't matter" are actually more damaging in this day and age than the Idiots in Hoods. Think of it this way: "Race doesn't matter" in France either, so, Gee what were all those Brown people upset for?? There's nothing wrong with only having White news anchors, for instance or with umemployement among Colege Graduates of Color being far above the national average. THAT has nothing to do with race! Ok, Thanks for listening.

    To answer the question: The truth is people become most racist when it comes to the taboo of sex, and even worse, when it comes to having a 'real' relationship.

    Actuallly, the bigger problem will be the covert racism and assumptions about Black women. Especially if you're attractive. In my experience, there are plenty of men of many races who want to 'date,' i.e. 'sleep with,' 'waste time' with me, but would never consider a long-term relationship with a Black woman (as a concept) or for whom I would be some sort of exception they're making, or who would carry alll their racism, in its MANY cloaks, into all our interactions.
    You've got to realize that some people WILL want to date you too, and just like in dating anyone else, it will be for all the wrong reasons. They're the ones to watch out for. A good rule of thumb is if they feel (especially if it's unprompted or comes up in a general discussion about race or racism) the need to explain how much they like Black people and how they came to feel that way and/or if you're the first Black woman they've dated long-term, get out of there fast! Also claims of "color-blindness" are a sign that they need an education, if nothing else. For instance, how will their "color-blindness" help you raise your bi-racial children??? Or combat their (or your)jackass relatives???
    Duh!!!!!to all the angry ignorant people protesting this answer right now.
    And PLEASE STOP MISUSING THE WORD RACIST. Racism is a system of oppression, built on beliefs created by the need for White People to assuage their consciences against their brutal, inhumane enslavement of Blacks and other People of Color. Wondering if White People as whole or majority are racist has both historic and contmeporary basis in truth. Plenty of studies BY White People in plenty of research facilities, Goverment-sanctioned and Private, in THIS DECADE confirm it. If you don't believe it, look it up before you post in reply to my answer.Tim Wise is a good source to find other sources and so is a book called "Lies My Teacher Told Me." If you need someone White to substantiate my claims. Otherwise, there are even more sources to back up the obvious.
