A seletividade social e o racismo estrutural sob o aspecto da necropolítica no Brasil

Abstract

Advances in genetics studies and the contribution of anthropology, the concept of race among human beings became invalid and is currently in disuse in the social sciences. However, this concept is still used, in a wrong way, by the common sense of a certain social category, to maintain its false status of domination, in real social throwback, with the historical hierarchy among Brazilians. Hierarchy, while social, economic, political and legal aspects, is structured by the non-recognition of identities and citizenship of certain social groups, and its causes and effects are formalized, at the presente time, by the practice of racism, constituted in new forms of domination in different ways of the exercise of power, directed more frequently to black people, having its endorsement by the parameterization of conditions related to poverty, precarious health, low level of education, unemployment or underemployment, criminality, etc. The effects of structural racism are perceptible in the exercise of necropolitics, which results in the deep maintenance of social inequality, engendered and undertaken in the division of races, in the maintenance of the cycle of symbolic, material and secular perpetuation focused on racial and social segregation in Brazil.
