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.

He needs to take a peek at the FBI crime stats.
They are probably self hating whites.
I’m not racist, I just hate feral dirtbags.
I don’t care what you say. I am not racist, beaner.
anybody, like this cockroach, who goes out of their way to label millions of people they don't know as racists is most likely an stinking racist him or herself as well as being a deeply disturbed individual.
Forgive me, PROFESSOR Beaner.
Blacks and muzzies are still dealing in the slave trade. But they won’t look in the mirror.
I have run across a few Blacks who were so nice and kind and even intelligent that I didn’t feel worthy of being their friend but thankfully they became one any way.
On the other hand a majority of Blacks, and a large majority of those living in certain areas are about as sorry as it gets.
One of my Black friends went to Baylor. This kid was from Ghana and was named Kofi but neither fact meant anything. He was not kin to Annan btw. He told me his Black American roommate spent his entire time trying to figure out some evil thing to do. He told me the guy was just evil.
Just a bit hilarious. Angry Reconquista trying to point fingers at the people who beat his ethnicity in war, politics and economics.
And we're the racists? Coming from a Spaniard??
Whatta laff.
This is another one of those “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” pieces.
All I can do, every day of my life, is what I’ve been raised to do: treat everyone openly, honestly, and without pre-judging them. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, one time.
I’m sick and tired of being called a racist, just because I vehemently disagree with the current Pres—ent and his communist minions.
Be assured, I would hate this schmuck even if he were transparent...
I’m sure that’s why obama has sent out the signal to beat the $#!T out of all those racist old men, old women, students, and children.
They cain’t be raciss if they’s daid, yuh know what ahm sayin?!!
/s
good god the guy wants job security when the racism is gone.
mexicans like hanging out with mexicans. blacks with blacks. asians wiuth asians. whites with whiutes. we intermingle in schools and work and daily interactions in the world, but all groups like living in an area where lots of people around them, look like them. it’s just inherent in all races. that isn’t racism.
No one has ever demonstrated to me why I have to like scum, crooks. thieves, liars or Democrats (but I am redundant) because they are not “white”.
I like people for who and what they are. And I dislike them for who and what they are.
Real racism demands that I genuflect to America hating socialists and fascists because they are not white.
Real racism demands that I NOT judge a man by the content of his character.
The more I am threatened by oxygen wasters like this clown, the more I will resist.
According to the liberals you can only be a racist if you are a member of a superior race.
Mull that one over.
Some of my best friends are blacks. And if they ain’t around, I go eat frybread with my Indian friends on the rez.
