#3 My Colorblindness and Common Ridicule
Here is part 3 in my 5 part series of things that don’t mix!
It is no secret that I am colorblind. In fact roughly 15% of white males maintain some color issues with Reds and Greens. I have no problem with it, but when I mention it to someone they are baffled and suddenly think that I can only see in shades of gray. It is quite frustrating if you ask me. I assure you that I am quite capable of seeing a red stop light versus a green one. I know when bread is moldy, I am not a freak of nature. At least not for being colorblind.
Below is a colorblind test. You are supposed to see the number 6 within the dots (so I am told) but I can’t see sh*t but dots, Sigh. Please let me know if you suffer a similar problem with your vision so next time it comes up at the bar I can shout, “I am not alone!! (Insert Your Name Here) is just as colorblind as me! I am not ashamed…
p.s. Today is my birthday and I am 28. Funny how I am still learning new things. I hope everyone enjoyed the nice sunny day in Kansas City, God did that for me. If you are anywhere else, I hope he smiled down on you as well.
