About the Original Book: In White Fragility: Why It’s so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, Robin DiAngelo explains how white people misunderstand the concept of racism and therefore, refuse to talk about it openly. She uses her experience as a diversity trainer to explain how America is inherently racist and that all white people must be courageous enough to see their complicity in the racist system. White Fragility digs deep into white culture and history to reveal some hidden facets of white society that many wouldn’t openly expose. DiAngelo’s goal is to teach white people how racism works at an individual level so that they can understand just how damaging it is to society as a whole - and hopefully, so they can fix it.

Interesting ideas, lots of generalizations
Some great food for thought here. Just be prepared to mentally transform the generalizations (“white people do ...”) to something with less certainty (“many white people...” or “white people tend to...”).

Another review
This is the second review of white fragility that I listened to. For the price you should do both reviews you get something that was missed in the first one. Narrator did a great job and got to the point with no biasis. Reading the full book next.

I bought the book after this Zip Read
It’s seems like a good synopsis. I’ll let you know after I read the book. Made me reflect on my own behavior. I can’t say if the author is 100% right but there is a lot to think about. If she is right we have a long way to go because according to her white america is finding ways to avoid the topic while appearing engaged in the resolution. It must really irritate black people the author suggests can see right though this dodging tactic.
