    1. In this book I focus mainly on systemic racism's harsh reality as itoperates in and through what I call the white racial frame-the dominantracial frame that has long legitimated, rationalized, and shaped racialoppression and inequality in this country

      Another thing I learned in my other class on race and ethnicity is the term "white habitus", coined by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva. This is where white people grow up in a neighborhood with mostly other white people, which results in them only interacting with other white people. This affects their worldview unconsciously, which can reinforce racial divisions. I think this might help with the white racial frame that is mentioned since in the eyes of a person who is only used to being near other white people, they might view themselves as the dominant group, and not take into account other racial groups.

    2. Systemic here means that the oppressive racist realities have from the earlydecades been well institutionalized and manifested in all of this society'smajor parts.

      I am taking another class on race and ethnicity, and one thing we've discussed is how important it is to understand racism at the macro level. Racism has been built into our society through government policies and institutions, but many theorists discuss racism as though it is only an individual issue.
