I think he's half-right...

Our current situation leads to crap like this:

Now, where I do think he's right, is the fact that Dr. King's colorblind society has morphed into something unrecognizable. The only way for that to work is to go back to the melting pot of America. Every color is equal. There should be no special programs for people based on skin color, national origin or ethnicity.
That's not human nature, though. One of the reasons the Bible still resounds through the centuries, is that human nature has not changed. Humans will invariably seek advantage, be it through skin color or anything else. In this case of preferences based on color, the solution is easy, the execution is unbelievably hard.
But if we want a better society, that's what we have to do.

I was called white once at work by a progressive white female. The one who indoctrinated her 9 year old son to the extent that the kid cried at the results of the 2016 election. A story she would then relay to others as proof of how bad Trump was. We were sort of friends and close coworkers at the time, and I think she thought she was educating me rather than scolding me. I don't quite remember the context of the conversation, only what felt like an accusation. It wasn't a term of endearment, that is for sure.
That same progressive white woman could often be seen 'working with' one of the few black scientists, a younger female, in the office. They would prominently sit hunched over a laptop in the break room. I always had the sense that the interaction was necessarily a patronizing one, and one in which the white woman felt she was being charitable and fighting the good fight. Gross.
