The "Colorblind Ideology"

Explore white privilege from the perspective of Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s book, “Racism Without Racists.” In this influential book, Bonilla-Silva presents a framework for his Colorblind Ideology from a sociologic perspective. Bonilla-Silva suggests that the USA is racially structured and that the Colorblind Ideology that emerged in the wake of the civil rights movement serves the interests of the dominant group and to maintain the status quo of white privilege. Join us for an examination and discussion.
