Abstract
Multiculturalism does not solve the legacy of colonization and enslavement, although it pretends to mask it under the notion of ethnic / racial democracy, policies of positive affirmation and cultural plurality in the Colombian case. To account for the process of segmented inclusion and discrimination of the Afro-descendant population, taking as a source of information the investigations and diagnoses that describe the economic, geographic inequalities and violence facing this population and the territories in which it lives. Starting from the assumption that the patterns of inequality, marginalization and discrimination based on ethnic / racial condition are expressed as socioeconomic precariousness and as racialization of poverty; despite the argument of the authorities that there is no marginalization of Afro-Colombians, given that their living conditions are the same as those of the Colombian population in general.
