Can you provide a source for this? The Daily Fail article links to the lecture, and I can't seem to find it.

Plus Tea Party signs and slogans that go around conservative circles, even getting on videos...
To argue that there are still a handful of KKK members is a sign of racism still being alive and well is no more valid than noting that the racists in the Congressional Black Congress represent all blacks as racist.

Or your attempt to paint Tea Party members as something based upon some random pics someone has posted on the internet.

Which is why I mocked the headline, which seems to be there just to **** people off enough to read it.

Feel free to read the reference they have in the article if you are that incised.
Can't you tell by now that this poster dosen't have the intellectual ammunition to support their statements??

It was on another news link,see if I can find it. I am in process of trying to find transcript of EVERYTHING he said.Sometimes you need to read between the lines...he claims whites are racist but is not much of a man that he won't come straight out and say it.

After describing various ways in which this ideology is prevalent in today’s society, Bonilla-Silva presented three main points about color-blind racism: the forms of interpreting racism, rhetorical strategies for articulating racism and stories contextualizing racism.
Bonilla-Silva said whites believe that they are not racist and often use the election of President Barack Obama to support the claim that America has moved beyond its racially tense past.
He said these beliefs are “sincere fictions” and countered that blacks and other racial minorities are still behind whites in society, receiving inferior education in “so-called integrated” schools and colleges.





And blacks and other minorities not being able to keep up with white students is the white students fault? Interesting..guy seems to have a case of blame everyone but the actual problem.

Bonilla-Silva said Dartmouth is a place where the new racism could occur because the College is among the “historically white colleges and universities.” Melissa Padilla, a Dartmouth student graduating in 2016, said she agreed with Bonilla-Silva’s assessment. “I thought he was dead on. We push race under the carpet. I guess we’re trying to mask it.”

Guess its not racist to have historically black colleges and universities just white ones...

So no, you don't have anything. This entire train of thought is just a delusional lie.

Like every other bigot your ideas that you are being persecuted because people don't agree are all in your head.

You imagine this crap into his lecture and go nuts. People that lie like this to themselves make me sick.
