The book examines how color‑blind rhetoric perpetuates racial inequality through framing, language, and segregation practices in contemporary America. It aims to explore whether racial stratification will persist or disappear in the United States. The authors conclude that color‑blindness, while seemingly harmless, remains a powerful and deadly force that sustains racial inequality.
