We are asking 250,000 people — African-Americans and concerned allies of any race — to make a commitment. Can you imagine if the words “white-Americans” replaced African-Americans?

Eizo Announces 24-inch LCD for Colorblind Users
2007-11-27 13:26:00 For most computer users who spend many hours working on a computer each day, a large screen LCD display is very welcome. However, for some users -- particularly those who are colorblind -- working on a computer can be very difficult.According to the Color Universal Design Organization in the U.S. and Europe one of every 10 to 12 males have color vision different from ordinary people and one of every 200 females does as well. Globally over 200 million people are believed to be colorblind.For colorblind people the colors that they have the most difficulty recognizing are red, green and yellow along with other hues that are similar. The inability to distinguish between certain colors for colorblind users can make a typical large 30-inch display like the Gateway XHD3000 uncomfortable to use. Gizmodo is reporting that Eizo has a new 24-inch LCD display called the FlexScan SX2461W-U that is aimed directly at users who are colorblind.The SX2461W-U uses Color Universal Design technology tha...

On Being Colorblind
2007-05-26 23:47:00 I often wonder I'm missing. It sucks to be colorblind. I see pink, purple, and orange. Is that right?So last night was the final night of the Taste of the Mariana Islands.

Never Truly Colorblind
2006-12-16 16:11:01 FOR SOME REASON it is most common to refer to blacks and whites when talking about race. Certainly many groups are left out of the race conversation when we think about these two races. I have been thinking about whether America will ever become colorblind. The answer in short is no. And, maybe in fact it shouldn’t be colorblind. There are many ways that we’re reminded of the existence of racial differences in our culture. Every year February is Black History Month. Is it reasonable to celebrate the accomplishments of one race for one month? And, if we do remember African-American contributions to America, are we doing this to the exclusion of other races? Should it be pointed out that a business is black-owned? What does that mean? I know what it technically means, but what is someone trying to say by pointing out the owner’s race? Would this label still be used if just as many blacks owned businesses as whites? Is race something to be proud of, kind of like someo...
