Abstract
In Transition 41 Pierre van den Berghe presented an analysis of recent Black militant protests in the United States under the title of Neo-racism in the U.S.A. According to van den Berghe neoracism is a brand of racism fostered by Afro-Americans against Whites. The goals of this article are to refute that argument; to raise questions which van den Berghe avoided; to provide as much information as possible within the limited space in order to correct the erroneous picture which the non-observer of the American race scene was offered; and to provide some of the existing plausible explanations for the upsurge of racial and ethnic consciousness in the United States. It is important to bear in mind that the complexity and dynamism of American society only permits the more modest types of explanation at the level of plausibility rather than of probability.
