You do not understand the genetics  of color blindness. 

The gene for color blindness red-green,is passed on the X chromosome. Since
the source of the X chromosome is alway the male, the disorder is only
passed on through the male side of the line in most cases. 

http://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/causes-of-colour-blindness/

If you do not understand this odds are you passed the gene onwards to any
of your own male children.

And very stupidly, you just named yourself as "son of Satan".  You are just
stupid beyond belief.. I wonder where did that defect come from?
