What’s the Matter with White Liberals?

Business is booming for Robin DiAngelo, a retired sociologist and the author of White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism. Since resigning from Westfield State University three years ago, DiAngelo has become a full-time “writer and presenter.” What she writes about is the pathological inability of white people to understand their passive complicity in America’s “white supremacist culture,” and whom she presents it to is white people looking for lessons in how to overcome it. “Now breathe,” she instructs her readers. “I am not saying that you are immoral. If you can remain open as I lay out my argument” — here, the argument that she can credibly judge your racism by virtue of your whiteness even if she has never met you — “it should soon begin to make sense.” Like therapy, it doesn’t always go over well: DiAngelo recounts a woman’s bristling after being told that her comments “invalidated” another person’s “experience as a black man.” But that is just white fragility in action.

These are people who think they need a cause for self-fulfillment. The reality is that they are miserable people and will always be miserable regardless of their circumstances.

It really does not start with that. That grows out of an inability to accept the reality that we are all different; that people succeed or fail for a huge variety of different reasons, and the demagogues on the Left use their grievance mongering fantasies to turn people against each other by scape-goating the successful as being the cause of other people's problems.

Throw in the PC suppression of actual analysis of why some succeed & others fail--I mean relatively;--and the susceptible feel they must apologize for qualities, which once inspired positive behavior. It adds up to a systematic production of neurotic behavior.

Footnote On Egalitarian Absurdity

[The Great RJ]

To liberals the original sin is being born white. They must spend their lives expiating this sin showing other liberals especially racial and gender classes that they are not evil whites. Political correctness is one manifestation of their atoning for their whiteness as is their belief in micro agression and bizarre non gender offensive pronouns.

They’re liberals - next question....

[Dick Bachert]

The same thing that’s wrong with ALL libtards.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN THIS NEW 4 MINUTE MARK DICE VIDEO EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!
If the fact that approximately 40% of those you encounter each day are already ‘round the bend doesn’t worry you, that their numbers might soon exceed 50% should SCARE HELL OUT OF YOU!
It does me!
Be afraid. Be VERY AFRAID!!
