White Fragility - Why It’s so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism - Robin Di’Angelo Audiobook

White Fragility
Shared by:Nicety1
In a new book, “White Fragility,” DiAngelo attempts to explicate the phenomenon of white people’s paper-thin skin. She argues that our largely segregated society is set up to insulate whites from racial discomfort, so that they fall to pieces at the first application of stress—such as, for instance, when someone suggests that “flesh-toned” may not be an appropriate name for a beige crayon. Unused to unpleasantness (more than unused to it—racial hierarchies tell white people that they are entitled to peace and deference), they lack the “racial stamina” to engage in difficult conversations. This leads them to respond to “racial triggers”—the show “Dear White People,” the term “wypipo”—with “emotions such as anger, fear and guilt,” DiAngelo writes, “and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and withdrawal from the stress-inducing situation.”
DiAngelo, who is white, emphasizes that the stances that make up white fragility are not merely irrational. (Or even comical, though some of her anecdotes—participants in a voluntary anti-racism workshop dissolving with umbrage at any talk of racism—simmer with perverse humor. “I have found that the only way to give feedback without triggering white fragility is not to give it at all,” she remarks wryly.) These splutterings “work,” DiAngelo explains, “to reinstate white equilibrium as they repel the challenge, return our racial comfort, and maintain our dominance within the racial hierarchy.” She finds that the social costs for a black person in awakening the sleeping dragon of white fragility often prove so high that many black people don’t risk pointing out discrimination when they see it. And the expectation of “white solidarity”—white people will forbear from correcting each other’s racial missteps, to preserve the peace—makes genuine allyship elusive. White fragility holds racism in place.

I bet this is going to be an amazing comment section. Let the butthurt begin!

“I bet this is going to be an amazing comment section.”
Going out for more popcorn.
May 17th, 2020
Maybe because whites are not so obsessed about race. Live and let live, man.
May 17th, 2020
Lol, case in point ^^^^

It’s hard for me to talk about this, but I’m really more of a frangible wypipo (for which I feel
corresponding shame).
Can we now return proceedings to the appropriate level of peace and deference? As I’m more comfortable when withdrawing from stress-inducing situations.
May 17th, 2020
Where are the hordes of people telling on themselves before they think better of it? Oh, the popcorn brigade got here first and pre-mocked them. Doh.

A book for (some) white Americans. I’ve never felt even 1 second of guilt for being born white or for any white racism past or present. Same as I don’t feel any guilt when 1 white man robs another white man. I also don’t take any credit or feel any pride for other white folks achievements & good deeds just because we share the same skin colour. Same for sharing the same nationality. I understand why others do, which is one of the reasons why I never argue or advocate with them (the other is I don’t care either way). I don’t advocate for anything, except for more ice cream. Mmmmmmm Moosetracks.
May 17th, 2020
so this is the 14 word slogan ?
May 17th, 2020
Yeah; always keep the slogans short & punchy.
May 17th, 2020
Like a little light comedy reading in these times. looking forward to the laughs.

Strange how white guilt (unnecessary) manifests itself. This book is an example.
Its not hard at all talking about racism.
Affirmative Action is Gov sanctioned racism, Quotas (now labeled Diversity) are racist against successful white and now, asian male candidates for schools, jobs and promotions. And yet, women, and “people of color” (whatever the hell that means) cannot be racist!!? Spare me the Victim-hood!
The author (Robin J. DiAngelo is an American academic, lecturer, and author working in the fields of critical discourse analysis and Whiteness Studies) is a hot house flower that has never had to truly compete for a job or promotion based on KSA’s.
I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood, immigrant, 1 of 12 children.
Oh, there’s Racism of course. Its just not where you think it is.
This book is commercial trash not worth the time, effort or money. If your a wimpy, fragile, guilt ridden white person, you’ll like this sophomoric substitute for toilet paper.
Hey, white people. I absolve you of all your guilt. Now go on with your life.

Lefty butt sniffer say what?
May 17th, 2020
How about “we are not ALLOWED” to talk about race because non-whites say Caucasians dont have a dog in the race.
May 17th, 2020
What a great book. Get over your fragile egos and read something to better yourselves, snowflakes.

To quote Morgan Freeman, when asked in an interview what should be done by the news media to stop racism, he firmly replied, “Stop talking about it.”
It isn’t that whites are so fragile, or that it’s difficult for them to talk about race; it’s because they’ve learned, whatever their position or opinions, that they’re going to automatically, without debate, be “wrong” — which also automatically translates to being racist. That is then cited as evidence that all whites are racist. So why bother? Just continue to allow people who declare that whites know nothing about blacks, but that blacks know everything about whites — and their motives — to pollute society and the body politic with their specious, caustic reasoning.
When you hear the politically sycophantic news media constantly bombarding their listeners/viewers with the concept that every difference of opinion, every social tension, every conflict between a white person and an African-American is predicated on racism by the whites, eventually you either try to fight against the gross dishonesty of it (which is much like trying to punch a hole in a fog bank with your fist), or you simply realize the futility of trying to counter “reverse racism” and try to ignore it.
However, ignoring it results in the subliminal creation of growing resentment and ultimately, hostility, at being labeled something you very well know is a lie. This becomes a pot of water held at 211ºF, and it takes only an additional spark to boil it over, thus providing the purveyors of “every white is racist, but those of color cannot possibly be” with what they think is irrefutable evidence in support of their arguments. Which, of course, it most certainly is not. You don’t have to be racist to finally become pissed off enough at false accusations to act out your frustration — which of course will also be tagged as racist.
~Written by a clearly racist white boy (or as so many of you will think).
P.S. “user123user” try inserting some intelligence into your thinking instead of just honking like a trained seal.

Lol, Brillo talks about everything but why we are actually frustrated. Look up the philly bombing and learn a new skill aside from public speaking Chad…
May 17th, 2020
Plenty of fragility in the comments thread already…
Maybe when black people can job/work/stayhome/travel without actually risking their lives then this type of education will go away. Until then you, would you kindly shut up and stop blocking progress simply because it makes you uncomfortable… You always want to say it’s over to excuse reality. Reality is ugly, a man would make effort to change it. Your a fraud, you grew up on media about heroes and shirk injustice at every opportunity because it’s inconvenient. We call that being a coward were I’m from.
May 17th, 2020
And since so many Caucasians are interested in commenting… (SOOO contextually ironic by itself) let me ask you a question? We are on an absite with a time-travel tag. When do you think we can “travel” to. The past? 2019? When in the future do you think we’ll be able to look back on this as the “what the crap were people doing” cl_ster_f_ck in time that we do with history now?

i love when people like jsynapses tries to disprove institutional racism by quoting statistics that literally prove institutional racism
why do more white people smoke weed but more black people are arrested, tried, and incarcerated for it?
fragile little white egos, so scared of learning something they’ll just screech about the title of a book
May 17th, 2020
for those of y’all that enjoyed this book, I highly recommend How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi as well.
May 17th, 2020
Hate every fukr evenly…

“why do more white people smoke weed but more black people are arrested, tried, and incarcerated for it?”
Because it is an easy charge that is difficult to refute lacking exculpatory evidence..
Saying a black dude was busted for weed is like saying a fat hypertensive, died from Covid-19.
Police use the charge to deal with anti-social miscreants.
Maybe a take a look at the Uniform Crime Report or something?

“jsynapses 13/58″ F’ck you expect, a cookie you cuckold?
May 17th, 2020

May 17th, 2020
“jsynapses 13/58″ user123user Notice how he didnt answer the question but just had to add his 2 cents nobody asked for. Almost like an example out of the book lol. Worst, our caveman semper fi wannabe senpai thinks hes cute for it, like I said, pathetic.
May 17th, 2020
:-) Now I’m gonna go pop some popcorn.

Top 10 murder cities in America. We’re not talking weed arrests here. Draw you own conclusions. Nature vs. Nurture, poverty, Systemic racism, Lack of Jobs, Lack of quality education.
Lots of theories.

A key tactic of the left is to set up arguments in such a way that you’re a loser no matter what you do. Don’t comment about “white fragility” and your silence speaks volumes. Do comment and you’re commenting is proof of said “white fragility”. You’re better off just not engaging these groveling clowns.
I think it was something like 6% of black slaves were sold to America. Why aren’t we hearing from the country recipients of the other 94%? Only 16% of the population in slave times was black. And you want to tell me every white person was an evil slave owner and that that tiny portion of the population built the entire country?

Yep. This comment section turned out better than I ever imagined.

Amazing how scared some of you are at the idea of reading something that disagrees with you. Talk about precious little snowflakes :P
May 19th, 2020
I just watch the police crime reports. I see the data and statistics of the problems.

SJW is cancer.

Racism and prejudice has been a part of our world since Cain killed Able. The problem with books like this is that they throw fuel on the fire, rather than honoring the fire brigade that are the ones trying to put it out.

shaneleelevin, I hope your popcorn turned out okay, since the intellectual content of your posts would indicate that such an endeavor just may be somewhat overwhelming for you.
Seven reasons why this book is a total fraud:

Not surprised the comment section is filled with white fragility. Seems like this is a good book.

What a stupid book. Niggies account for 13% of the population yet commit 55% of all murders and 70% of all felonies yet we’re supposed to believe they’re the victims of “the system.” What a scam. The rest of us are the victims of niggies.
