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.

Gang of 88 idiocy ping.
I’m with you BHF and it’s growing from where none has been.
Was he wearing his Brown Power tee shirt?
Big difference between racist and “so sick of the bs over the past 5 years that I no longer give a damn”.
Eduardo, you moron, if the caucasians were racists, you wouldn’t be a professor...you be mowing my lawn.
I could have been a tenured Ivy League professor if I was a little dumber.
What constitutes academia these days is just stunning.
So, basically he’s saying get rid of all the white people and everything will be hunky dorky
So, what does it mean when a liberals says “I have a friend who is muslim”?
So are most Affirmative Action Mexicans.
Pray America is WAking Up
Race relations will be markedly improved when we can criticize a crooked black politician without being accused of racism. Until then it is effing hopeless.
“when white people say things such as “some of my best friends are black,””
-I’ve never used that expression.
This expression was a joke in the 1960's ... FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Dunce....
This idiot professor is in the race baiting business because it pays well - and the media make stars out of them (Al, Jesse, et. al).
How soon before this jerk gets his own show on MSNBC??
Irony is truly lost on some people.
So never then because whites will always be accused of racism. That’s the excuse minorities use to cover for their failures.
The biggest racist at Duke University is Eduardo Bonilla-Silva. No one else even comes close. He’s the Grand Dragon of the American University of Anti-White Fascists (AUAWF). They wear black sheets and burn swastikas and Muslims icons on the lawns of white people everywhere and organize lynch mobs, as they did as Duke against the LaCrosse team. This man should be tried for criminal conspiracy, tried, and sentenced to death by firing squad in front of the Duke Chapel for inciting racial hatred.
Barack Obama had an opportunity to be greater than Lincoln and King combined with respect to race. He chose instead to be a leftist hack.
