Racism in our society has structured a pattern of normality that naturalizes racially unequal relations established in the social production of space. We are a country of colonial formation that has been historically structured by racially unequal relations. The purpose of this article is to understand the relationship between racism and necropolitics as devices that generate the extermination of the black population and culture in Brazil. Our hypothesis is that the silence of the debate on the Brazilian racial issue in tackling social inequalities has created difficulties for the construction of anti-racist policies and intensified the black genocide. Thus, we understand that the struggles of the Brazilian black movement are one of the ways of confronting the necropolitical.
