This article deals with the personal and consequently racial relations based on the dogmatism of power that leads to a current interpretation of the correct but cynical judgment, exposed in the narrative fiction of Rio Negro 50, by the Rio de Janeiro writer Nei Lopes. The narrative, when dealing with everyday passages, problematizes the usual and draws attention to the black invisibility, as well as the symbolic violence historically constructed and perpetrated for centuries in the Brazilian imagination.
