white fragility?
I had to look it up — it’s basically the idea that White people get unhappy if you constantly accuse them of being racist. They take it personally. They don’t think they are. White people are very fragile on this topic.
There is a book out there that tries to convince White People to stop being so fragile, admit their guilt, and basically accept the fact that everything bad in the world is their fault.
Next installment of Critical Race theory, a social model that depends on racial identity but tries to deny it to 45% of the U.S. population.
While I hope that some Freeper can explain in the thread what the term actually means, and have some sort of authority to back up the explanation.
That said, it sounds to me like for the sake of becoming the antithesis of Lake Woebegone they have come up with a victim term that means “white snowflake” and now everyone can be disadvantaged.
This ain’t your Father’s America.
I looked it up.
“Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue.” - Amazon’s summary of the book “White Fragility”
IOW, if you crap on a white guy for being a white guy, and he either gets mad or points out any flaws in your accusation, then....the white guy is at fault again. White men should grovel like ButtyGuy, or “Beto”, and should NEVER argue back with “a person of color”.
“Color fragility”, if this keeps up, will refer to the penetration a 9mm bullet makes when a white guy is assaulted by ROCs - Racists of Color - at an Antifa riot. I’ve worked for everything I’ve got and am way past tired of lazy buttholes telling me I owe them squat. ROCs don’t study hard, work hard or save hard. They then want to steal from someone who did all three.
BTW - my wife is browner than Kamala Harris and came from extreme poverty. She’s been told she has “privilege” as well. She would reply the same as Jim Robinson posted: Our privilege is living in America, where hard work is rewarded and we are free to become whatever we can earn.
Wait a minute - I thought whites were the devil incarnate, but now we’re fragile?
It means the Liberals are STILL whistling past the grave yard
In context I suppose it is white people taking exception to things like intersectionality, not accepting to the infantile race ideology employed by the Left and the race grievance pimps respectively.
It’s may be a way of calling us Snowflakes if we aren’t taking part in / accepting the communal guilt the Left asserts belongs to whites.
