The black board is the space traditionally used by teachers, to transfer what they know to their students, contributing to the construction of knowledge. Unfortunately, though, it is also used to disseminate many kinds of judgement and racism, under the speech of a common ground of teachers that are not well-prepared and under too much influence from the television. In this work, the black board brings important informations, statistic data from IBGE and from International Amnisty regarding the black Brazilian population, that report the structural racism and the large social inequality recurring from it in Brazil, now.
