Race has been an issue in North America for many years. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva discusses the new racism in his book Racism without racists. Bonilla-Silva calls the new racial discrimination color-blind racism. Colorblind racism is then structured under four frameworks (26). Color-blind racism is believed to have led to the segregation of the white race from other minorities called the white habitus. Colorblind racism and white habitus have affected many people, who do not even realize that they are, have been or will be affected. Color-blind racism is an “ideology that gained cohesion and dominance in the late 1960s, explaining contemporary racial inequality. as the result of a non-racial dynamic,” according to Bonilla-Silva (2). To analyze colorblind racism, Bonilla-Silva relies "primarily on interview data (11)" through a 1997 survey of college students' social attitudes and a Detroit Area Study (DAS) from 1998 (12). Bonilla-Silva then breaks down the analysis of colorblind racism into four central themes to explain how white people explain a world without racial problems: abstract liberalism, naturalization, cultural racism, and minimization. Abstract liberalism is “ideas associated with political liberalism and economic liberalism.” » (28). Abstract liberalism is used for a wide range of issues, so Bonilla-Silva gives a few different examples of using this framework. The rationalization of racial injustice in the name of equal opportunity was used when white students were asked "whether minorities should be offered unique opportunities for admission to universities" (31). Most white people will say that everyone should have equal opportunity. These whites "have ignored the effects of past and contemporary discrimination on...... middle of paper ... with other races and it will eventually become second nature." Obviously the government can't make these integrated communities communicate, but I believe that over time neighbors will start talking to each other or, at the very least, some sort of promotion of community block parties, like when I was child, would facilitate communication. process. This is how I remember meeting the neighbors. Community block parties are non-existent these days, but I think they are beneficial for everyone! With a little effort from everyone, we can achieve this, a life without racism! References Bonilla-Silva, Eduardo (2003). Racism without racists. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group.
