Duke University sociology professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva says white people are as racist as they’ve ever been, it’s just modern, more insidious forms of racism have taken over the more overt forms of racism common in America’s past, The Dartmouth reports.
Bonilla-Silva made his argument Thursday in a guest lecture at the Ivy League Dartmouth College.
Bonilla-Silva argued when white people say things such as “some of my best friends are black,” or “use the election of President Barack Obama to support the claim that America has moved beyond its racially tense past,” or say they didn’t personally own slaves – they are just denying their own internal prejudices, what the educator calls “sincere fictions,” Bryn Morgan of The Dartmouth reports.
“We must fight white supremacy,” Bonilla-Silva said. “The only way to remove racism in America is to remove systemic racism.”
The North Carolina professor talked at length about his covert/evolved racism theory, claiming America is ”not post-racial … this ideology is suave but deadly.”
The title of the lecture was “The Color of Color-Blindness: Whites’ Race Talk in ‘Post-Racial’ America,” according to the Dartmouth College website.
“Post-racial arguments did not emerge in 2008 with the election of President Obama,” a description of the guest lecture on the website states. “White America has believed a version of post-racialism since the early 1980s. … The bulk of the talk will revolve around the examination of ‘color-blind racism’ or whites’ race talk in the contemporary period.”
Bonilla-Silva, on his faculty Duke University webpage, states: “In all my work, I contend that racism is fundamentally about ‘racial domination,’ hence, racism is a collective and structural phenomenon in society.”
The Dartmouth College lecture was cosponsored by the African and African-American Studies Program, and the Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies Program.

So..is this guy Hispanic Ku Klux Klan...or Black Ku Klux Klan...or Both? Could not figure out with the article
There’s no getting around it...people like the good professor are the enemies of this country. May he fall into a deep and sticky pit real soon.
while I understand your sentiment- I am betting what you really mean is you are more strongly against certain racial groups who TAKE ADVANTAGE of the system and then call YOU names...
Not the same.
Because I am betting you would NOT feel that way about all members of certain groups, especially good conservative ones like Walter Williams and Ted Cruz and Thomas Sowell
There is not a good word for hating all liberals... yet
I only became a racist in the last 5 years.
ok, then.
NBA is racist.
All about racial domination
A spainard calling someone racist. Let me guess he’s not a history instructor is he?
I think Eduardo would be a lot happier living in a Hispanic country somewhere. The dang crackahs in this country are making his life a living hell. He can’t get a good “job” or nothing.
Is “Bonilla” Eddie’s maiden name ?
I bet the professor is making some good coin pimpin’ the racist message.
The only thing about racism he cares about is race bating. Nothing that happens will ever change anything with these people. I don’t do anything different when I’m talking to a black man and don’t give crap what they think about racism. There will always be a percent of minorities who will use this as a excuse for being failures.....that is what makes them failures!!!
Sociology professors are as race obsessed as ever.
Combine that with the DNC, which has race obsession etched in its very DNA, and you would have to say that yes, among academics and Democrats racism is alive and well (and profitable).
ok, I admit it, I am a bigot. I discriminate a lot based on behavior. But I don’t give a damn what color your skin is or what hangs or doesn’t hang between someones legs.
now that is one bad a%$ graphic
Which white people? Italians? Latvians? Irish? German? Armenians? Don’t tell me this scumbag has grouped them all together! How racist is that?
Bonilla-Silva argued:
“when white people say things such as “some of my best friends are black,””
-I’ve never used that expression.
“or “use the election of President Barack Obama to support the claim that America has moved beyond its racially tense past,””
-So, the fact that a black guy got elected and re-elected as President is not evidence that times have changed from the days of segregation and Jim Crow? Seriously?
“or say they didn’t personally own slaves”
-I didn’t, and neither did my ancestors who came here long after the Civil War.
“they are just denying their own internal prejudices, what the educator calls ‘sincere fictions,’”
-I’m thinking “sincere fictions” would apply to most of this clown’s academic work.
““We must fight white supremacy,” Bonilla-Silva said. “The only way to remove racism in America is to remove systemic racism.””
-Yes, we must give B-S everything he demands for. Anything less is RACIST! /sarc
