The use of the previous discourse illustrates how fragile and ill-equipped most white people are to confront racial tensions. In conclusion White Fragility is ultimately a white problem and steps to understand racism would be to start from the micro level of analysis than macro.

Children since pre-school receive little if any instruction regarding the predicament they are too face and how to resolve it. Instead they experience or learn about racial tension. Whites usually tap into the classical discourse that people of color are violent and dangerous

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

There are tons of factors that help create the phenomenon of white fragility. These are segregation, universalism, individualism, the entitlement to racial comfort, racial arrogance, racial belonging, physic freedom, and the constant message that we are more valuable.

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

They all do! Along with other many other triggering experiences.

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

Which of these options trigger experiences of white fragility amongst white people?

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

While there are many other defensive ways in reacting to white fragility, the last one I will highlight here is the concept of fleeing. This is used to help one get physically get away from the problem.

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

Another type of white fragility that we fail to recognize is the changing of the subject when talking about racist issues.

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

One way that people can react is through argumentation, where they simply deny their experiences.

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

There are multiple ways that one can defend themselves in a reaction to white fragility. Pay close attention.

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

I can't believe how prominent white fragility is today. Where a man can be so blinded from reality that he can't see that literally no one in his workplace is colored, yet he thinks whites are discriminated against...

[Fake Robin DiAngelo @DiangeloFake]

My idea of White Fragility is that racial stress towards the white race becomes so intolerable triggering a range of defensive moves.

Thankful that my work has reached @NewYorker!!!!!!

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

In “White Fragility,” Robin DiAngelo sets aside a whole chapter for the self-indulgent tears of white women, so distraught at the country’s legacy of racist terrorism that they force people of color to drink from the firehose of their feelings about it. https://t.co/FsU3ufP1n2
