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.

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.
