White Fragility

Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism
Oct 17, 2018LPL_PolliK rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Diangelo has written a concise and thoughtful book that will certainly give you pause, no matter how much you think you know about the topic of race. The most helpful thing this book does is recognize how we've confused the issue of racism by conflating it with a good/bad dichotomy. Racism, as a system, transcends whether we are good or bad people, and that is a terrific jumping off point for the rest of the book. Point by point, Diangelo does an excellent job of shining a light on our entrenched socialization and helps us face the ongoing work of becoming anti-racist.
