Abstract
Race relations in America have reached a crisis point. Yet, there is a move toward color-blind policies. The assumption underlying the move is that race is neutral and policies that allow for race as a selection criterion are flawed. A philosophical approach is used to discuss the notions of race and identity. Differentiation is made between group or social identity versus individual identity. This differentiation serves as the basis for the argument that discussions about affirmative action should be couched in terms of equity between groups rather than rights.
