Perhaps reflecting a desire to emphasize the enduring power of rigidly constructed racial categories, sociology has tended to downplay the importance of within-category variation in skin tone. Similarly, in popular media, "colorism," or discrimination based on skin lightness, is rarely mentioned. When colorism is discussed, it is almost exclusively framed in terms of intraracial "black-on-black" discrimination. In line with arguments highlighting the centrality of white racism, the present paper contends that it is important for researchers to give unique attention to white colorism. Using data from the 2012 American National Election Study, an example is presented on white interviewers' perceptions of minority respondent skin tone and intelligence ( N = 223). Results from ordinal logistic regression analyses indicate that African American and Latino respondents with the lightest skin are several times more likely to be seen by whites as intelligent compared with those with the darkest skin. The article concludes that a full accounting of white hegemony requires an acknowledgment of both white racism and white colorism.

The system of apartheid in modern South Africa is in large measure camouflage for the maintainance of white supremacy. In the first place it entails the division of the South African population into what are euphemistically known as 'national groups', which.in practice come down to racial segments: white, the so-called 'coloured' - those of mixed race, and the descendants of the Cape colony's slaves - Indians and the Blacks. The last group, the indigeneous inhabitants of most of the land area of South Africa, form a vast majority of the country's population, but, with the so-called 'coloureds' and the Indians, have been systematically excluded from any real share in political and economic power. The official policy has stressed that what is intended is the creation of separate zuiien, or pillars of society. According to the ideology, South Africa is now a plural society, to such an extent that the title of the ministry formerly known as 'Bantu Affairs' is now 'Plural Affairs'. In hard reality, there is geen spraak - no question - of equality between the various groups, but rather a rigourously maintained hierarchy. The whites are vastly more prosperous and control almost all sectors of the economy, through their exclusion of other races from the processes of political decision making.

Acclaimed author E. R. Braithwaite (To Sir, With Love) chronicles the brutality, oppression, and courage he witnessed as a black man granted "Honorary White" status during a six-week visit to apartheid South AfricaAs a black man living in a white-dominated world, author E. R. Braithwaite was painfully aware of the multitude of injustices suffered by people of color and he wrote powerfully and poignantly about racial discrimination in his acclaimed novels and nonfiction works. So it came as a complete surprise when, in 1973, the longstanding ban on his books was lifted by the South African gove

Overview of the US electoral campaign with a specific focus on the racial basis of Trump's representation of America. ; Il fenomeno Trump si è nutrito di risentimenti razziali e paure economiche – fenomeni che hanno messo in crisi la stessa identità del paese per molti suoi elettori. E gli anni di Obama hanno fatto da incubatore per un vero "white backlash". Il prezzo è la disgregazione dell'elettorato repubblicano. Sul lato democratico, Hillary Clinton incarna un establishment incerto sulle ricette economiche, che non ispira grande fiducia. Nell'insieme la politica americana compie una virata nazionalista.

Applies Foucauldian theory of the "regime of truth" to the surveillance of blacks, particularly men, & the purpose it serves in maintaining a "white" social order wherein blacks are abnormalized. To illustrate the regime of truth & knowledge, the conflicting verdicts of the OJ Simpson criminal & civil trials are drawn on. Blacks are often seen as disturbers of the social order; they are portrayed as highly sexual, drug users, or criminals, & the media overrepresents the instances in which these stereotypes seem to be proven true (eg, the sexual harassment charge against Clarence Thomas).
