Robin DiAngelo, whose “white fragility” theory has become one of the most influential ideas about racism in America, is on a mission to reeducate you and your children. She wants everyone to talk about race -- teachers, students, parents, children -- everyone. And when she says “talk” about race, what she means is for people to willfully accept the toxic tenets of modern antiracist ideology, which teaches that America is an inherently racist society steeped in white supremacy culture, a country that is illegitimate because it was founded on slavery and murder.
“Talking” about race also means dividing entire groups of people into dualistic camps such as white oppressors/non-white oppressed, and stereotyping entire races of people as “privileged” or “targeted,” as being “anti-black” or suffering from “internalized dominance.” Those who identify as white are taught to confront their “whiteness,” because according to antiracist dogma, whiteness is inherently racist, oppressive, and provides unearned privileges to whites at the expense of people of color.
Get ready, America. DiAngelo’s Marxist lectures are coming to a school near you.
As she writes in her seminal paper on white fragility, “Whiteness Studies begin with the premise that racism and white privilege exist in both traditional and modern forms, and rather than work to prove its existence, work to reveal it,” making it clear she’s more interested in forwarding her narrative about the oppressive nature of whiteness than in using the scientific method to prove it. In her Author’s Note to her bestselling book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism (currently #2 on Amazon as I write this), DiAngelo admits that it’s “unapologetically rooted in identity politics,” and that we as Americans “have yet to achieve our founding principle,

This will be like common core but more deadly for your children. She needs to be held up and demoralized, parents need to pay attention to what will be happening if and when they open the schools. This is well on its way to being mainstream
She’s free to head home to Italy.
We left Europe 300 years ago because of nut jobs like her.
Constantly talking about race keeps it in the forefront, makes it an issue. Constantly talking about race is toxic, and racist.
"If what the author says is true, then aren't her own machinations also tainted by racism? If so, why are you asking us to consider them? If not, why are you forcing these ideas on some for whom they may not/do not apply, given she clearly stands as an exception to her own ideas and, therefore, other exceptions likely exist, as well?"
If you demand conversations about race with people that are not interested then you are the racist.
Who would have imagined America becoming an anti-white country?
“DiAngelo admits that it’s “unapologetically rooted in identity politics,” and that we as Americans “have yet to achieve our founding principle, but any gains we have made thus far have come from identity politics”
We Whites are getting slaughtered by not engagibg in the identity politics game. We are the only group who refuses to join that game and is demonizing the moment any of our members do.
We either start organizing, promoting and defending our group’s interests as a group or our race will go the way of Neanderthals.
Sadly and disappointingly some of our worst enemies are self-loathing pathetic WHITE losers like this D’Angelo bitch.
So white people are guilty of supremacy and fragility at the same time??????
Substitute “Jew” for White and this book could easily have been written in 1930’s Germany.
If we are what they say we are, why do they still exist? It’s because we are Not what they say we are, yet it seems they might be exactly what they say we are. So tired of this insanity. I’d rather be American then anything else, each and every American should see themselves as ethnically American not some racist point of view that separates Americans into melanin groups.
Despite calling for a conversation about race, the LAST thing they want is an open, non-curated discussion involving persons NOT race-obsessed. You know, regular blue collar folks who actually work side by side with other races and who casually insult each other with humor and comraderie. That sort of dialogue makes their heads explode because what they really want is a frightened dialog between self-hating white elites and college-degreed Affirmative Action blacks. We’ve been hearing that droning conversation for decades and it is boring.
DeAngelo’s bizarre book shows that she is a cult leader. If you don’t believe her and trust her to lead you out of your sin, then you are an even bigger sinner for your disbelief.
Which boils down to "Black Lies Matter".
Take it one step further: all of these ideas and concepts are being articulated by White people.
So if white people are inherently racist, these concepts are to be cast out and let them come up with their own ideas.
