White fragility

Robin DiAngelo writes about White Fragility, a term coined by her. DiAngelo is a diversity and racism consultant for businesses and individuals. The book is largely told through her experiences and what she has learned through her work. Wonderfully written and a great place to start recognizing racist behaviors and the reality of living in a racist system.

Quotes:

“If we block out other realities by not discussing them, we can pretend that they don't exist.”

“Stopping our racist patterns must be more important than working to convince others that we don't have them. We do have them.”
