According to Bonilla-Silva, how can whites protect themselves against charges of racism when they state positions that may be interpreted as racist?

Answer and Explanation:

Eduardo Bonilla Silva explains that racism is no longer obvious as is seen with common attitudes and actions towards other racial groups but has now become endemic and structurally ingrained into the social system.

According to him whites protect racial status quo by preaching and trying to institute what he calls a colour blind ideology. This colour blindness ideology is fostered in four ways: naturalisation, abstract liberalism, cultural racism, minimisation of racism frame

By cultural racism frame the whites preach that non white individuals behave in certain way example that Mexicans are more criminally inclined

By abstract liberalism, the whites try to institutionalize the notion that there is freedom of choice and liberalization and therefore they cant be held accountable for any racial discrimination claims

By naturalisation they preach that individuals of America color and rave naturally want to be together and act collectively

By minimization of racism frame there is the belief that discrimination is no longer an issue but the failure of racial groups to utilize opportunities given to them

for the united states of america, 1945 to 1964 was a time of high economic growth and general prosperity. it was also a time of confrontation as the capitalist united states and its allies politically opposed the soviet union and other communist countries; the cold war had begun.
