From Racism without Racists by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva
Bonilla-Silva explicates an ideology of racism--"color-blind racism"--that is widespread in contemporary American society. Based on four frames-- abstract liberalism, naturalization, cultural racism, and minimization of racism--color-blind racism is a way of appearing normal, moral, and reasonable while propagating beliefs that serve to reinforce the legacy of white racial privilege. The hallmarks of color-blind racism are its pliability, seeming sensibility, and fairness in judging minorities and policies that are appropriate to addressing racial inequality in life-chance opportunities.
-Why, according to Bonilla-Silva, is color-blind racism negative for racial minorities?


A) It does not properly address the legacy or contemporary nature of racial oppression
B) It fails to address black racism
C) It creates biased affirmative-action programs
D) It allows minorities to become lazy.
