Description
White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism The reactions of ordinary white people when confronted with their unintentional racism - anger, fear, guilt, denial, silence - serve only to silence people of colour, who cannot give honest feedback without provoking a dangerous emotional reaction. This phenomenon, coined by Robin DiAngelo, is a system of white supremacy that can only be challenged by acknowledging and taking responsibility for our own racial privilege. To create a more honest and open conversation, we must listen to each other better and react to feedback with humility. This book, written by DiAngelo, offers practical insights and knowledge gained from decades of running racial awareness workshops, showing us how to start making a difference at a granular level. By taking responsibility for our own racial supremacy, we can begin to dismantle the systems of oppression that have been in place for so long.
