White Fragility

By Leo Gura - August 30, 2024

Robin DiAngelo gets a lot of criticism, but everything she says in the following talk is true. DiAngelo reveals many sneaky, self-deceptive ways the mind is racist. This is important for everyone to learn.

The reason DiAngelo gets so much shit is because people do not want to confront the fundamental truths of racism. Yes, racism is way more subtle and sneaky than just, “I hate black people”. Conservatives are in deep denial about this, which is why they troll and raise a stink. Conservatives would rather distract with drama than do inner work. We can learn valuable insights from DiAngelo without going on an all-out SJW crusade. You should be mindful of racism without being obsessive about it.

As part of your consciousness work you should introspect about your subtle racist biases. I certainly have them. It would take a lot of work to get rid of them all. And there are certainly racist biases within your community, sub-community, and culture at large. To deny this is self-deception.

It’s amazing to me how much political drama and noise people create just to avoid development. There should be nothing controversial about what DiAngelo said in the video above. This is just basic, basic consciousness work. Stop whining about “wokeness” and just do the development work.

I love that racism is so subtle, sneaky, and intelligent! All self-deception is beautiful in the eye of a sage.
