White Fragility Why It's So Hard to Talk to White People About Racism (Book) : DiAngelo, Robin J.
From: Ghettostone Publications Company, Editor/Chief Michael R. Brown, leader of "THE BEST SELLERS BOOK CLUB" review of author Robin DiAngelo's "WHITE FRAGILITY"; Why It's So Hard to Talk to White People About Racism"....!
"WARNING...!" This book is not meant for pleasure, but self- examination...!
"WHITE FRAGILITY" by Robin DiAngelo is a deep dive into the pyscho-social anaylsis of the inner-workings of White folk's inability to deal with their own emotional triggers associated with being confronted with internal bias. The writer has designed this book for "Whites Only"!
The book dives deep into the psychology of white racism, identifying masked internal feelings, deeply held beliefs, historically seeded attitudes, personal prejudices, and internal attempts to hide behind group assimilation by using emotional evasion! The premise of this study suggests that no white person in America is willing to take responsibility for America's unique "White Racist" problem. The writer works in corporate diversity training helping corporations determine why there is no people of color hires, or why so many minorities leave.
The book is tough. It's harsh. It's difficult to read. And hard to put away. The statistics alone are extremely harsh to review. And the fact that America's history has never been able to put race hatred away... equates to being "addicted to white supremacy"! The proof is established in America's History of violence toward "People Of Color", genocide of the Native Peoples, enslavement of the African, land seizures from Mexico, the establishment of a "Jim Crow segregation laws" and the systematic oppression of everyone who is not "White"..
The truth hurts! According to this study many White People in America are unaware of the harmful nature of "A White Supremacy Society"! More than that many White Americans continue to deny they play a role in enforcement of the status quo, or that they have benefited personally from it, or that America has a entrenched racial systems that disenfranchise People of Color!
This book is not meant for People of Color! It's difficult information and confirms what Black People have suspected and known most of their lives, the socialization and complicit nature of White individuals to perpetuate racial discrimination is inherent in the socialization process of being White in America, a White Supremacist Society!
The fact that no where in the world does a "White Supremacy Nation" like America even exists. Plus the fact that White People can not be "superior" with out the systematic oppression of "the inferior" People of Color...! In other words, the American racial supremacy system implemented through socialization would be impossible, if there were no Black People lived in this country....!
In order to be White in America, there needs to be Black People living in America! If no Black People lived in America there would be no White
ability to be Superior or White Supremacists...!
QUESTION: Can White Americans get tough enough to deal with the harsh realities of their own socialization into a system of institutional "white racism" in order to see how they keep the system in place? Or will America come to some horrible clash or be easily defeated by a Russia, or another nation that uses "white supremacy propaganda" to easily manipulate an already hostile White America in order to destroy Democracy...?
Read the book and find out....! "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo
Highly recommended by "THE BEST SELLER's BOOK CLUB..!
