Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The academic declining significance of race did not begin with William Julius Wilson’s work in the late 1970s. In this paper we take a broad look at the methods mainstream sociologists have used to validate whites’ racial common sense about racial matters in the post-civil rights era. Our general goal is to succinctly examine the major tactics sociologists have used to minimize the significance of racism in explaining minorities’ plight. Specifically, we survey how: (1) sociologists’ weak racial theory leads to a weak interpretation of racial outcomes, (2) most work on racial attitudes creates a mythical view on whites' racial attitudes, (3) the various demographic indices used to asses post-civil rights' racial matters miss how race affects minorities today, (4) the ethnographic gaze looks at minorities much like anthropologists have looked at "natives," (5) new work on "social capital" tends to hide the centrality of racially-based networks, and (6) the way most sociologists report their results distorts the significance of racial stratification. We conclude by suggesting that work on racial matters will need to be revamped if it is going to have any practical use for those at the "bottom of the well."
