This research based on the theoretical and methodological reference in <oscovici (1978) and Jodelet (2001), Gomes (1995, 2006), Coelho (2006) and Silva (2006), to analyze the social representation, with the first and the others about racial relation and formation. The research is descriptive and it was used as data collect instrument: official documents, questionnaire and focal groups and among them six teachers taught in basic education in 2008. The results of the study show that teachers have knowledge of racial relations, believe the racial relation in Brazil and everybody are equal: white, black and Indian. Infer that racial prejudice appears to be of tacit form, in Brazilian society, which contributes to the dissemination and ratification of the prejudice and discrimination in various social sectors even in school. We bounce as conclusive approaches that the initial and continued formation of teachers represents a crucial moment to the formulation of a Pedagogy that works with the culture diversity.
