White fragility

This book is rudimentary racism education for white people by white people. That being said, I need many of my white friends and family to read it. While I appreciate that this book is meant for white people that deny their inherent racism, I do not see very many of them picking it up.
The anecdotal aspects of this book where the author described situations she had been confronted with as a diversity trainer were my favorite parts. This book is very small and still had quite a bit of repetition throughout. I will say that it is a good reminder that just because I have sought out education on race it does not mean I am ever going to know everything or be done learning. It is a life-long endeavor to reprogram my learned societal understanding and racism is an oppression that is adaptable and will continue changing.
I will be honest that this did book not give me any new information nor did it give me any new perspectives, though I agreed with all of the points. Unfortunately, one of my friends was forced to educate me about the majority of the contents of this book back in 2013 when BLM first started. I remember responding defensively and immediately tried to argue that they had to have it wrong because I was definitely not racist. It was not okay that I put my friend in that situation, but I recognize how impactful that conversation has been on my understanding of racism and how it affects me, but more importantly how I affect it. I am racist. And I will continue to work on it as I grow and seek out my own education on the ways racism evolves in society. I do appreciate the collection of more resources in the back of this book.
