The status quo in the United States is racism, 'White Fragility' author Robin DiAngelo says, and and for white people, that's comfortable. 'We've got to start making it uncomfortable,' she says. 'Because the forces of comfort are quite seductive.'

On asking white people to have humility

Most white people live segregated lives. Most of us don't really even know black people. Most of us go cradle to grave with few, if any, authentic, sustained cross-racial relationships and no real sense of loss about that. And yet, we have these opinions that we feel are equal to people who have, you know, studied and struggled and worked on these issues for decades.

This book is trash, so is the author.

Horse shit. This is collective blame & hate aimed toward a single race of people. Blaming one race for the all the problems of other races is disgusting, abhorrent & racist as hell. Stop it.

Do these conditions seem comfortable to you?

She's a psychopath taking you lot for fools. Totebags for brains over at NPR

White Fragility. Find out The Truth.

It certainly helps your cause to call all white people racist or fragile. Whenever you call somebody racist, he immediately apologises and agrees with you. Right?

It would be extremely useful if during the interview the assumptions of the interviewee were questioned, challenged, even once. Collective accusations of racism are extremely dangerous, more if they go unchecked. arishapiro

Absolutely despicable, typical NPR garbage.

This woman is a joke, as is NPR.

Complete bullshit.

Why did you tweet this out? To continue the narrative that white people are racist? Wow. There are racists of all colors. NPR constantly pushing discord and encouraging strife. I know thousands of people and 2 are racists. Not friends, industry related. Terrible people

Identity politics from the left has done nothing but set racial tensions back into the 60s levels. Nice job NPR. You must hate black people. I will not be made uncomfortable by lawless criminals looting and burning their own nests. Fk em. They don't deserve a Walgreens or CVS.

So what are we to do?

Your headlines are a disgrace.

Negative Public Radio continues digging to reach new depths...

No. The status quo is not racism. Stop trying to create divide. Why do tax dollars fund this garbage?

If you are morally compelled to actively participate in the opposition to the oppression of one person or group of people, you are morally compelled to actively participate in the opposition to oppression of any and all people. As a result, everyone, everywhere, is guilty.

So you don’t want “equality” just “inequality” where anything goes so long as it’s based on certain skin color that no one can control

DefundNPR

Making assumptions about someone's character based solely on the color of their skin is RACIST by definition. GTFOH with this made up nonsense.

Glib and self-righteous

Is NPR inciting violence?

It’s really not.

This author is apparently too stupid and too arrogant to see that this premise is in itself based in racism.

'Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.' ~Elie Wiesel RacismInAmerica

DiAngelo is racist. She wrote an entire book to make herself feel comfortable with her own racism by claiming all white people are also racist. Confront her.

Interesting how we went from a case of police brutality without a shred of evidence Floyd’s death was racially motivated to protests about ‘ racism ‘ and how we’re a ‘ racist ‘ society. So racist in fact, that millions of POC would do anything to be able to come to America.

Heeeeeeyah check out Something for your cultural show!

Then the country needs to split up.

why should we pay for this crap?

It's always amusing to watch people deny the existence of white fragility while simultaneously displaying all of its symptoms.

This last two weeks was good for Robin DiAngelo book sales. And nobody else.

Notice the crowds are thinning out

I'm done being a 'nice white person.'

Why does our tax money to go them? Like PBS too!

racism - defined: the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Nazi

If whites work on their acceptance skills, it will give protesters time to work on their arson skills. :)

Drivel.

racist - defined: a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

white fragility - defined: discomfort and defensiveness on the part of a white person when confronted by information about racial inequality and injustice.

The only way you aren't a racist is if you agree with my pseudo philosophical BS and logicsl fallacy argument 100%. Oh, also be sure to buy my book...

Очень круто
