Welcome to a brand new episode of the Michelle Tofoya podcast. We've heard a lot about Ibramex-Kendi and

anti-racism. Well, there's another author out there you should know about. His name is

Professor Andre Archie. He teaches at Colorado State. He's an associate professor of ancient

Greek philosophy and the author of the forthcoming book,

The Virtue of Colorblindness.

The virtue of colorblindness.

That word virtue is very important.

He has a different take from Ibermx-Kendy,

and he thinks we just ought to judge people

by the content of their character.

Sound familiar? He makes a very good argument,

and he's our guest next. It's time for the Michelle Tofoya podcast.

Professor Andre Archie, thank you so much for joining us and welcome. You know, it's funny.

I was watching the Thanksgiving Day parade and Vogue, which was a female group, a trio that was big when I was in college, made an appearance during the Thanksgiving Day parade.

And what I remember striking me about this performance is here, these women are now.

They're older, but they sang their song, Free Your Mind, which the key line is, free your mind,

don't be so shallow, be colorblind.

And I was thinking, that's such a different message from the one that we're getting these

days from the like of

Erem X. Kendi and so forth. And yet you've got this book coming out, The Virtue of Colorblindness.

It comes out January 2nd. People must get this book.

Tell us what your definition of or what the general definition of color blindness is.
