It is entirely possible to see people as individuals and not be “colorblind” at all.
It’s called seeing reality as it is.

Funny, she looks just like I figured she would.

How do libtards manage that?

They want us to be racist to cover their racism.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

A white person lecturing non-whites on how they feel ....doesn’t get any more racist than this.

What if you are White and Blind?

Just askin’...

Buddha teaches to treat everyone identically
And in fact as if each and every person was your dear mother in a former life
In life there is no race. Just who you are. Looks are not it even 10%
That is the grand lie of hollyweird

We have a near relative whose wife can be giddy and warm one day and mean as a hornet the next. He shrugged after one episode and said There are no rules; you never know when she’s going to blow up.
Collectivists have no rules.

I think Professor Robin fell out of the nest and landed on her head. Otherwise, how do you explain her being a birdbrain leftist mysognist.

[Secret Agent Man]

Treat people differently, liberals b1tch.

Treat people the same, liberals b1tch.

Not a big surprise, really. I wonder why so many things liberals want to do have to be forced onto others or destroy what others overwhelming voted for. #ireallyknowwhy

White Fragility

White people in the U.S. live in a racially insular environment. Because our racial perspectives are so rarely challenged within this environment, we have not had to develop the stamina needed to tolerate racial stress. Dr. DiAngelo conceptualizes this lack of stamina as “White Fragility.” White Fragility triggers a range of defensive moves including: argumentation, invalidation, silence, withdrawal and claims of being “attacked” and “unsafe.” While these moves are effective at blocking the challenge and regaining our racial equilibrium, they are also damaging to people of color and prevent us from developing the skills we need to create a racially just society. Dr. DiAngelo will overview the socialization that leads to White Fragility and provide the perspectives needed for more constructive cross-racial interactions.

About Robin DiAngelo

Robin DiAngelo is a dynamic and provocative speaker addressing the highly charged topic of what it means to be white in a society that proclaims race meaningless, yet is deeply divided by race. Speaking as a white person, DiAngelo clearly and compellingly takes her audience through an analysis of white socialization – what she calls white racial illiteracy. She describes how race shapes the lives of white people, explains what makes racism so hard for whites to see, identifies common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular white narratives that work to deny racism. With remarkable skill she helps participants to see the “water” that obscures how racism works in our daily lives – the miseducation about what racism actually is; ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; defensiveness; and the tendency to protect (rather than expand) our worldviews.

DiAngelo’s scholarship and research in Whiteness Studies has been concerned with the challenges of an increasingly white teaching force and an increasingly diverse student population. A former associate professor of multicultural education, DiAngelo was twice honored with the Student’s Choice Award for Educator of the Year at the University of Washington. In addition to her academic work, DiAngelo has been a workplace diversity and racial justice consultant and trainer for over 20 years. In this capacity she was appointed to co-design, develop and deliver the Race and Social Justice Initiative anti-racism training for the City of Seattle.

DiAngelo has numerous publications and just released her second book, “What Does it Mean to be White? Developing White Racial Literacy.” Her previous book (with Özlem Sensoy), “Is Everyone Really Equal: An Introduction to Social Justice Education” received the Critics’ Choice Award by the American Educational Studies Association. Her work on White Fragility has appeared in Alternet, Salon.com, NPR, Colorlines, Huffington Post and The Good Men Project.

WHAT A CROCK OF THIS WRITE UP IS.

These are the kinds of logical backflips that are intentionally designed to move society toward race wars and race-based genocide.

I regard those who spout such lies as demons impersonating humans.

Such entities need to be dislodged and their mouthpieces destroyed.

Leftists hate white people, even white leftists. Leftists would steal from you, imprison you, or kill you if they could. Since they can not and get away with it, they are using the concept of government to try and accomplish all three against white communities.

I equate white leftists to jewish people who were prisoners in the concentration camps but given special privileges if they policed and turned in the other jewish prisoners for breaking prison rules.

A black man is a lot safer in a white neighborhood than is a white man in a black neighborhood. Frankly, a black man is generally safer in a white neighborhood than in a black neighborhood.
