CoBRAS as a predictor of attitudes toward redistributing resources to improve predominantly black schools Research supports the use of the Color-Blind Racism Attitudes Scale (CoBRAS) as a measure of color-blindness, but relatively little is known about whether it is predictive of policy attitudes. This study adds to that literature by investigating the extent to which CoBRAS predicts attitudes toward resource redistribution as a method of addressing the Black-White achievement gap. Structural equation modeling performed on data from 215 participants revealed that CoBRAS is a useful tool in predicting attitudes toward redistributing resources to benefit predominantly Black schools, even after controlling for social dominance and attributions for 'the gap.' Researchers are encouraged to continue exploring the properties of CoBRAS to achieve a thorough understanding of its empirical potential.

"Color-blind" society The idea of a “color-blind” society is one response to the question of how a society with peoples of diverse races can live together in justice and racial harmony. More specifically, a color-blind society can be defined as a society where racial differences among people would be largely irrelevant with respect to both the laws that govern people in that society and the judgments that members of one race make about those of another.
