Racism presents two central features: persistence and adaptation. Considering social and political changes of Brazil nowadays, it is hypothesized that acts by attributing blame to minorities for the existence of racism itself, in a logic of revictimization. This article proceeds the construction and validation of a Revictimize Racism Scale (RRS). Two studies were carried out. The first (n = 121, 50,4% female, mean age = 25,3, SD=10,2) dealt with the RRS construction, based on racist content the analysis of Internet. The second (n = 104, 54.8% male, mean age = 22.9, SD=7.2) proceeds to convergent validation with modern racism and discriminative with authoritarianism, such as Factorial Confirmatory Analysis and correlations with internal/external motivation to respond without prejudice. The general results allow us to conclude that the RRS is less obstructive than that of modern racism and has satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity.

Keywords : validation study; racism scale; secondary victimization; conservatism.
