White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism
by Robin DiAngelo
White Fragility does a fantastic job of presenting the systemic racism prevalent in our society and the biasness that I don't think will ever go away. As someone that frequently deals with white people and has attempted to speak about race, I feel exactly as DiAngelo has stated. That white people want to shut me up, avoid the conversation, and immediately make the conversation about how they are cool with black people and are not biased. I hate having to downplay that I am offended because I really want to say. "I wasn't talking about you. The fact that you even turned the conversation about you means you have some insecurity that you need to figure out." I have recently attempted to stop bothering. I have also picked up another book: Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge. These are great to read together. I am extremely frustrated with the white people in my life. I would be pleased if this book would be presented in schools. But I think if the school system attempted to even bring it up, it would be challenged to be banned. I appreciate a white person acknowledging there is a problem and seeking to change. That is more that an be said for the average white people in my life. I discussed this book on my Youtube channel.
