This article analyzes the social representations present in contemporary society, in order to understand what differentiates the representativeness associated with the possibility of expressing ideas, decisions of a given social class. We seek to understand how society is structured in relation to racism, and how this is fundamental for the construction of the child's identity. The methodology was configured by the qualitative approach of the bibliographic type, from authors who discuss the theme Moscovici (2015), in the field of Social Representations and Almeida and Ribeiro (2019) , for discussion on Structural Racism. The analysis reveals the relevance of Social Representations given the contextualization of its concept. We interpret several situations that can be observed the structural racism impregnated in society. Moreover, it was possible to perceive how black representativeness is necessary to construct the child's identity, evidencing the importance of this work for the discussion and analysis of racial discrimination.
