White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo
Robin DiAngelo Ph.D., a New York Times bestselling author and racial justice educator, fleshes out what it means to be white and why the majority of people in the United States take grave offense at the mere discussion of racism in her book “White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism” (2018). She attributes this to "white fragility," the process of restoring "white equilibrium" as a response to "racial stress." She claims that American society is fundamentally racist, and the stability its people seek is to remain comfortably seated at the top of racial hierarchy. She proceeds to expose racism as a highly adaptive system, which fabricated the "good/bad binary" to appease the civil rights movement – a "moral flaw" where its incrimination calls for defense rather than self-reflection. With this, she advises Americans to "breathe, listen, and reflect" to imbue positive ways to respond as opposed to anger, guilt, and silence that "white fragility" forces upon them. DiAngelo however, notes that creating a "positive white identity" is impossible for racism is deeply embedded in white identity. Instead, she idealizes a "less white identity" wherein one lets go of and faces their internalized racial superiority.
