Abstract

It deals with an exploratory research with the purpose of investigating how society manifests itself on the black in the social network Facebook. For this, the theoretical framework on the current digital culture and also on racism was contextualized. The methodology was based on the use of software called NetVizz, which interacts with Facebook's Application Programming Interface (API), allowing the extraction of data for analysis. Among the six different types of NetVizz modules were chosen two of them: Page data and search data. The data were analyzed using the Bardin content analysis methodology. In view of the pre-established criteria, the page '' 30 Days Without Racism '' was selected for analysis and the research was divided into four categories: racism; Institutional racism; Reverse racism; Racism and racial insult. As it is extracted from the research, the social networks have great power of propagation of message and of social interactions. He verified that social actors use the network as a way to educate other users about racism and about the importance of combating prejudice and discrimination against blacks, generating diverse debates on the subject, among them what would or would not be framed as a crime, of Racism or racial insult.
