“White Fragility” is one of the worst books I’ve read in a long time. Peering into the psyche of professional managerial white classes and their haphazard attempts to alleviate their psychological tension around race through endless performative deprication makes me sick 🤢
Not to mention the book is written by a corporate diversity trainer who makes a killing from convincing guilty white liberals that racism is original sin that can only be appeased through endless and expensive £££ self work! Neoliberal individualism.
This kind of stuff only causes more racial resentment and if I was a White person who had to sit through my exploitive workplace environment attempting to dig inside my psyche, I’d probably react badly too.
This haphazard racial awareness, neoliberal, individualistic mode disgusts me to the core of my very being. It’s wellness culture for white liberals, it’s the deepest indulgence of privilege mascursding as progress.
