This text stands as an essayistic proposition on the issues of blackness, raciality, the psychological effects of racism and a proposal for the deconstruction of structural racism in Brazil. The objective of the essay is to uncover the “innovations” of racist practices and their possibility of reinvention in the face of structural racism, which persists in contemporary society. The decolonial perspective is used as an approach, following a methodological path that starts from the analysis of racist discourses, meets anti-racist reflections and bibliographies, based on documentary survey and newspaper reports, as well as demographic data and the discovery of research and work on the “socio-racialized” practices of culture and “psycho-racial” dimensions in Brazil. As a result, we observe a highly patriarchal, classist, homophobic, ableist, misogynistic and racist country, but a population has racial, social, cultural and human diversity that needs to be socially and racially repositioned.
