"White fragility"

A dangerous racist manual is making the rounds as a bestseller during these turbulent times. “White Fragility” is a book written by white professor and corporate consultant Robin DiAngelo. It accuses America’s whites of inherited unapologetic racism. The book is the epitome of gaslighting indoctrination. People with pale complexions must now contend with a new wave of groupthink that is essentially a mob that is coming for them. There is no place to run and no place to hide from being criminally white.

The Black Lives Matter movement is erupting into a powerful political party and US corporations are filled with consternation at the mere thought of national boycotts, domestic terror attacks and anything that even looks like bad publicity. Diangelo’s book is likely to end up as required reading at company seminars and may even be imposed on students beginning in elementary school.

America, particularly aging white America, is now presented as dangerous and irreparably unrepentant, too obstinate to submit to the amateur pseudo sociology of a non-sociologist. Diangelo is out there spearheading an effort to erode the resistance of the accused with the burden of White Guilt and the contrived sin of White Privilege. The book is a smokescreen to explain away the failures of the War on Poverty and the Great society.

The deterioration of black family structure was warned against in 1965 by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, an actual sociologist, and democratic US senator. Moynihan acknowledged slavery as a significant contributing factor in black history, but he warned using welfare payments to remove male authority figures from black homes would exacerbate poverty outcomes irrespective of societal racism.

America never said black lives don’t matter; those words were placed in mouths by people like Diangelo who surf the waves of movements for fame and fortune. “White Fragility” is an unwinnable trial by ordeal so innocent citizens will get spirit-killing re-education brainwashing that is more like something from the People’s Temple or the Branch Davidians than any serious forensic examination of Black problems in America.

Americans cannot afford to stay asleep at the wheel for much longer even if they mean well. With people like Diangelo out there it won’t take long for educationally and politically incited throngs to come for them and their children. Today it’s monuments and attacks on social order, tomorrow it’s your home. White Fragility is a de facto racist handbook for the left.

It's nice to see that members on this site are in 100% agreement with the statements in this OP. That doesn't happen very often.

It's fun watching members on the site declare victory when nobody responds to a post. That's really not how it works...but ok.
 
All Whites are racist.
All blacks are racist.
All Orientals are racist.
All Arabs are racist.
All Hispanics & Latinos are racist.
All jews are racist.
All Indo-Persians.
Even mixed-race people are racist.
Everyone is racist. Because everyone -- EVERYONE -- naturally, instinctively, in their DNA -- cares more about their own than about others.
There are degrees of overt expression of that inherent, biological racism. Some people are more honest about it than others.
Inside, regardless, no one can not be racist any more than they can not breathe.

Interesting essay.

Let me ask you this; if you were black and you saw repeated instances of police brutality, hyper aggressive behavior, and even outright murder of black people, how would you respond?

I'm referencing the Floyd affair, I'm referencing the Amber Guyger incident, I'm referencing the Sandra Bland incident, I'm referencing the Walter Scott shooting.

I point out the acts of officials in law enforcement because they are sworn to protect all persons. This doesn't even remotely touch on the political actions of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville where actual neo-nazis nearly beat a black man to death. I'm not even referencing James Fields; but members of the Atomwaffen who were there and, sadly, you are echoing in your post.

Police killings are 50% white and 29% black. What systemic racism?
 
I was responding to the essay.
And in your reponse you asked about certain black people. Why only black people in reference to police brutality?

No, you tell me why you are perpetuating the notion that police are systemically racist and killing black people for racist reasons. The numbers do NOT tell that story.

That's an interesting interpretation of what I wrote. Woefully incorrect but interesting none the less.

You can ask someone what they'd think if they were black and were subject to the propaganda that the system is putting out that blacks are being hunted and subject to systemic racism. They'd say I'd be outraged and act out.

Now what have you got Kristy? What was the point of the question?

What if a black person asked themselves, "Is this true?" Then they'd look into the numbers and find out that it wasn't. Have you looked into the numbers?

I regularly watch Frontline (and seen the extraordinary decline in the quality of the documentary show) and happened to watch the show you linked to. There in the end was not much there. The numbers few and the ability to raise up a Nazi movement non-existent. It was a boogie man story with a boogie man of few teeth.

I really don't know what any of that was supposed to mean...but whatever. I'll let the person I addressed tell me what they think and we'll go from there.
