Colorblind is racist, apparently

Recently, TV host Wendy Williams made some offensive comments about the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Historically Black College and Universities

It all started with her response to Jesse Williams’ BET Awards acceptance speech:

“Jesse Williams speech was very poignant. On the other hand, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically white college. We have historically Black colleges. What if there was the National Organization for White People, only? There’s the NAACP.”

It's true that the HBCUs were started when blacks were mostly barred from other colleges but in this day and age it seems a reasonable aspiration for them to replace that black identity with a non-racial identity.  Some whites do already go to them but there have been instances of them encountering unfair treatment there.

And the NAACP is explicitly racist.  Is the cure for racism more racism?  The NAACP did have a point early on but it is just a Leftist political organization now.
