    White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo​​​​​​​ | Conversation Starters

    The New York Times best-selling book White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism explores the reactions that white people have when their personal assumptions about race are challenged. DiAngelo observes that when their reactions are challenged, they maintain racial inequality.
    DiAngelo is an anti-racist educator and she deftly illuminates in this book the phenomenon of white fragility. This book allows the readers to understand that racism is a practice that is not restricted to ‘bad people.’ She discusses the defensive moves that white people make when they are racially challenged. White fragility appears in a range of emotions like fear, anger, and guilt. It also appears to include silence and argumentation. These behaviors reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent further meaningful cross-racial dialogue. DiAngelo explores white fragility, how it develops, how it gets triggered, how it protects racial inequality and how we can engage people better. 

    The New Yorker says that White Fragility is an “irrefutable exposure of racism in thought and action and its call for humility and vigilance.”

      You don't need to be conservative to find BS in this book. The author doesn't need to white wash any of the American History to say all these. For example, she was basically saying that America had become more racist than the Jim Crow era, based on the quote "In some ways, racist's adaptations over time are more sinister than concrete rules such as Jim Crow". How the hell did this become NYT Best Seller?

      Very genalized and lacks evidence or citation. is more of an opinion and if you do not read it or like it you are therefore, racist. I would like to learn more about this topic but this is not the book!

      Poorly written, full of baseless ideas and opinions, not sure why its listed under science fiction but it's certainly fiction.

      Premise unproven, unfalsifiable, strips people of individuality, casts racial groups as antagonistic stereotypes, and of course the solution is to buy her seminar. ?
