    What makes it difficult to discuss racism with white people?

    The book’s title bears the answer to that question: White Fragility. White Fragility is a term coined by the author. It describes the defensive responses that white individuals often exhibit whenever they are confronted about their racial acts and statements. Most people might not even realize it, but one of the pressing factors why racism continues to prevail at this day and age is the refusal of whites to come to terms with their racially biased perspectives and voluntarily work towards reshaping their unbecoming viewpoints.

    DiAngelo provides a simplified yet in-depth explanation of how white fragility acts as an instigator in racial stereotypes, particularly in the present-day American society. She likewise includes viable suggestions on how white people can work on their own racial prejudices, despite the hard challenges coupled with it. The book’s objective is to show readers how a seemingly embedded system of racism can still be deconstructed and reformatted in order to embrace a more open-minded perspective and acceptance of the diversity that surrounds us.

    Pick up a copy of White Fragility now and feed your mind with hard-hitting truths of the racial structures that continue to divide us. Another New York Times Best-Seller from Robin DiAngelo!

      Racist. This is a an example of the delusional state of academics, and academia; I am a former professor; I could no longer stomach the arrogance of my peers. My peers in academia were good students, who never left the comfort of the praise they received their entire lives, for nothing more than listening and repeating. These are people who have never left school, essentially. I took a different path. I lived in the real world, not a world of theory. I struggled, was broke, and had many ups and downs academically. I took risks, failed, succeeded, felt the heartbreak, disappointment, and bounced back, more times than I can count. Not the author of this book. She is a coward and is projecting her own racism, onto every white person, she has never met, knows nothing about, and never bothered to ask. This is so vile, and sick, I can’t believe someone wrote a summary. It is sickening. I was also, for the record, the most highly evaluated faculty in my department, at every college where I taught, including the last one, GWU in DC, a job which I quit, recently, in protest of this very kind of sanctioned bigotry.
