I can only wryly smirk every time I hear the expression “White Fragility.” First, Robin DiAngelo is a grifter, nothing more. She is also the highest paid speaker in race relations in the entire country. So, essentially, you’re promoting a White woman to speak on the topic of race relations over every non-White speaker. And also helping her to remain the country’s premiere speaker on race relations.

Second, the term “White fragility” is so laughably ironic. Basically her premise is that when White people are confronted on instances of their supposed racism, they aren’t allowed to respond in any way accept to admit that they are racist and everything is their fault. They aren’t allowed to question, challenge or refute anything, not even in instances of objectively incorrect information.

So, White people aren’t allowed to defend themselves from being maligned in any way, yet it’s White people who are fragile???

In a word, no. There are many, many instances of bad faith actors. You will never attain the utopia you seek where allegations are made against White people and aren’t allowed to be challenged.

Wesley Michel is a liar.

Jonathan Butler is a liar.

Bonita Tindle is a liar.

Jussie Smollett is a liar.

Tawana Brawley is a liar.

Crystal Mangum is a liar.

Alexis Briggs, Asha Burwell and Ariel Agudio are liars.

The list goes on. And as long as there are bad faith actors (on both sides) no White person should ever be silent in face of racist accusations. We all have the right to speak in our own behalf. There’s no exception made for White people being accused of racism.
