Institutional racism imposes itself and sustains itself through individual and structural racism

Abstract

From the experience of institutional work with adolescents, most of them black and poor, in a state public agency, I realize how racism blocks the development of a project that could have been designed based on racial inequality, as it forces the program to comply with the mechanisms used by white supremacy and the capitalist system, finally labeling it as welfare while covering only the socioeconomic issue. The whole project was crossed by structural racism, endorsed by individual and institutional racism.
