Description
Book Summary of White Fragility Get ready to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Robin DiAngelo wrote this book to interpret the notion of racism in America nowadays. She proposes that racism isn't isolated incidences of violence perpetrated by white nationalist racists, but rather an entrenched societal condition in America used to oppress people of color to this day. White Fragility is that the term she uses to clarify why white Americans have such a tough time admitting that we have a tendency to hold pre-programmed racial biases. Just the suggestion that we have a tendency to participate in systems of discrimination is enough to form America defensive, reactive, and angry. DiAngelo argues that we want to confront and go through this discomfort to precise any real, lasting change in our society. At its core, DiAngelo's statement is this: As White race born into white households in America, we begin our socialization in racial matters on day 1. Regardless of words talked at America regarding racial tolerance, we absorb instead the lessons we see through actions, school, the media, etc. We absorb the values we see reflected in the world around us. The world around us, fifty years when the Civil Rights Movement, remains one during which White people expertise institutionalized privilege and folks of color are consistently victimized, unnoticed, and feared. DiAngelo dismantles all your defensive white arguments. She says it is just not possible to be free from prejudice. It is by denying prejudice, discrimination, and societal racism that we permit that racism to be perpetuated. We have to take a seat with our white fragility, work through the discomfort, and try to make progress in the discourse of race. DiAngelo challenges that if you are not actively engaged in the racial discourse, you are a part of the problem. Refusal to shine a lightweight on the expertise of individuals of alter our country is what perpetuates the dark places we tend to don't wish to acknowledge.
