White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism written by Robin DiAngelo
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I found this an intriguing read. The (white) author is definitely skilled and comprehensive in their desire to take down the current establishment that disadvantages racial minorities. As a person of colour myself, I found it awkward to consider descending to her same depths of challenge required throughout every day life to break the system. I would never support racism, the book almost suggests that by not being actively anti- at all times I’m unconsciously being pro- white supremacy. Certainly good food for thought throughout. And the book is a handy antidote to the – hard to explain – subtlety that troubles me from time to time.
