White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

“It is white people’s responsibility to be less fragile; people of color don’t need to twist themselves into knots trying to navigate us as painlessly as possible.”
I think this is a valuable starting point for white people struggling with not feeling attacked when it comes to racism. But, this is also a book about racism written by a white woman, so... there are definitely a lot of other non-fic books about racism written by black authors that we could be reading. I definitely think this a valuable read but at the same time, it takes 6 hours for the author to say something that I've seen other people say in 1 short twitter thread in the past week so do what you want with that.
