submit the title of your film, along with a detailed annotated outline that includes the example quotes from film dialogue matched with the frames, storylines, and/or semantic moves of colorblind racism they represent.
You will be analyzing your chosen film from the four (4) Frames of Colorblind Racism – abstract liberalism, cultural racism, minimization of racism, and naturalization. Also, evidence of storylines and testimonies.
You will choose a film, present quotes from each of the colorblind racism, frames, and analyze them accordingly, in a minimum of 6 pages. As your critical-thinking decision-making objective, you should decide whether the societal evidence he/she reviews in the paper (a) demonstrates the typical colorblind pattern that Bonilla-Silva describes in the textbook; or (b) reveals a more progressive and/or minority pattern; or (c) some combination of the above; or (d) some other pattern not discussed in the textbook but worth exploring in future research. You may find that the quotes you analyze deliberately challenge one of the 4 frames of colorblindness in some way, and you can note this in the paper as well. Each paper should consider the implications of the analysis of colorblindness for the future of multiracial society. In other words, how do the representations discovered in your analysis help and/or hinder a society’s progress toward inclusive multiracial democracy?
