I assume you are referring to blocks as the areas delimited by street segments.  In that case, the only "real" geographic entities you have are the streets.  You cannot select "blocks" because they do no exist in their own  polygon layer. 
 
One potential workaround is to convert the streets in your region of  interest to Areas, and then import the resulting layer to your map. After that, you will be able to select individual "blocks". Be advised not to convert the whole US street layers to Areas; due to the huge file size you may encounter a number of problems during the conversion
 
Cheers

and give them one color, do the same with a seperate set/color?
