“There is a long historical backdrop of black men being tortured and murdered because of a white woman’s distress... Our tears trigger the terrorism of this history...”
― Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility
So excited to dive into her book!

The austerity loop
-Defund government so it fails, then point at the failure as proof it doesn't work.
-Starve schools, then say they're failing to educate our children.
-Cut transit, then say nobody rides it.
-Defund the VA, then say vets choose homelessness.
White America doesn’t hate racism enough; it hates being called racist. That’s why Black pain gets treated like a debate and white discomfort gets treated like an emergency.
