    Default White Fragility.

    A dangerous racist manual is making the rounds as a bestseller during these turbulent times. “White Fragility” is a book written by white professor and corporate consultant Robin DiAngelo. It accuses America’s whites of inherited unapologetic racism.

    The book is the epitome of gaslighting indoctrination. People with pale complexions must now contend with a new wave of groupthink that is essentially a mob that is coming for them. There is no place to run and no place to hide from being criminally white.

    The Black Lives Matter movement is erupting into a powerful political party and US corporations are filled with consternation at the mere thought of national boycotts, domestic terror attacks and anything that even looks like bad publicity. Diangelo’s book is likely to end up as required reading at company seminars and may even be imposed on students beginning in elementary school.

    America, particularly aging white America, is now presented as dangerous and irreparably unrepentant, too obstinate to submit to the amateur pseudo sociology of a non-sociologist. Diangelo is out there spearheading an effort to erode the resistance of the accused with the burden of White Guilt and the contrived sin of White Privilege. The book is a smokescreen to explain away the failures of the War on Poverty and the Great society.

    The deterioration of black family structure was warned against in 1965 by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, an actual sociologist, and democratic US senator. Moynihan acknowledged slavery as a significant contributing factor in black history, but he warned using welfare payments to remove male authority figures from black homes would exacerbate poverty outcomes irrespective of societal racism.

    America never said black lives don’t matter; those words were placed in mouths by people like Diangelo who surf the waves of movements for fame and fortune. “White Fragility” is an unwinnable trial by ordeal so innocent citizens will get spirit-killing re-education brainwashing that is more like something from the People’s Temple or the Branch Davidians than any serious forensic examination of Black problems in America.

    Americans cannot afford to stay asleep at the wheel for much longer even if they mean well. With people like Diangelo out there it won’t take long for educationally and politically incited throngs to come for them and their children. Today it’s monuments and attacks on social order, tomorrow it’s your home. White Fragility is a de facto racist handbook for the left.

    Sounds like the OP is afraid to read it. Of course, right-wingers aren't known to read anything longer than a meme.

    I have read it. My brother is on the faculty of a college in Florida. He sent me a copy some time ago.

    I'm not going to click that link because I don't click links. I haven't read it, and I honestly have no interest in reading it, but I don't believe you've read it when the book's blurb, in addition to various reviews, paint a different picture of its contents that what you've painted.

    And what does your brother being a Floridian college teacher have to do with anything?

    America does not talk. Who said black lives do not matter? It was the police beating and killing them. It was a court system that jailed them much longer than whites for the same crimes. It was redlining blacks out of homeownership. It was facing substandard schools for their children. It was being the last hired and the first laid off. It was a history of extreme racism and lynching. It was growing up with almost no hope to escape poverty and dangerous life. Growing up knowing you are hated for the color of your skin is debilitating. It is voter repression.
    Do you think blacks cannot figure out the message?

    Of course the reviews are going to act like it's not just anti-white garbage.
