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.

how is it that any of these people are allowed to live and work in our country ?
“Systematic racism” is a liberal dog whistle code phrase for “white influence.” It has nothing to do with prejudice or discrimination or wrongful behavior on our behalf per se (although, when cases which fall under those categories arise, it is convenient to the leftist cause).
It is those who complain about “systematic racism” who are the biggest racists in the traditional sense. They cannot stand having a culture other than one defined by their own race dominant within a society. If they lived in Japan, the Japanese would be the systematic racists. If they lived in India, the Indians would be the systematic racists. And so on and so forth.
I have nothing against people of other races. I believe we are all created equal before God’s eyes and, as far as I’m concerned, if they’re willing to adapt to traditional American culture, they’re welcome here. However, that does not mean I will apologize for the nation created by my forebears and I will not be made to feel guilty for embracing and defending that culture I call my own. If such makes me a “systematic racist”, I guess I’ll just have to learn to be okay with that.
Yeah but you're even better looking too.
I’m not a racist, but I AM a moronist - can’t abide morons who are put in a position of leadership over young people. The harm they do is immense.
that makes you intelligent and good looking
not raciss
Yup, me too. I now tell all of my black friends (hardy har) that I am more racist than I ever was in my life. I’m sick of slaving ridiculous hours and weekends, grifted for working hard, and then still getting blamed for every ail. I could still overlook the racism towards whites 20 years ago, but now it’s in our faces every day.

Isn’t that stereotyping?
After all the accusations for the last five years, all I can say at this point is... SO.
I no longer give a fig about it.
And they think we parents should send our teens to this school? Not a chance.
Which is code for Western Civilization.
And so are blacks, Asians and Martians. Oh, and so is Eduardo Bonilla-Silva.
Not this scheiss again. If you’ve been a screw up all your life, maybe you should look in the mirror instead of blaming the evil White Man, the people who built civilization. It’s been long overdue to get rid of affirmative action and cracker jack prize degrees.
Who in their right mind would send their child to Duke? Why would anyone pay more than $50,000 a year to expose their children to these morons and the high crime area of Durham.
You’re correct. “Systemic Racism” to Liberals means a white majority or white people in leadership positions. Neither can be tolerated in New America.
The good professor is also an expert in phrenology and phlogiston.
and let me guess, only white people are capable of being racist?
I know I am... I despise many white people.. and a boatload of blacks as well..
that makes you intelligent and good looking
This seems an awful lot like when I went in for my liver biopsy and the nurse was wiggling my foot whilst the doc stabbed me in the liver.
nothing racist about it...
the more a person tries to appease these arrogant elitist, the more arrogant and elitist they get......so do not play their game....
