I am a white person who has been teaching White Fragility for several years. It's not revolutionary, by any means. But the incredible amount of pushback I get when presenting this simple idea suggest it's doing (or has the potential to do) something important in the white psyche.
From my limited perspective, I personally believe this book is helping white people do some important soul-searching and behavior-changing. Is it enough? Fuck no. The way to end white supremacy will not be found in a best-selling book.
@nytimes There *was* a candidate whose support was "passionate but limited." That was Mike Gravel (@GravelInstitute). I'm still pissed at what the DNC did to him π
This is a weird way to talk about support for a candidate who has won the popular vote in every primary thus far. Would Bernie need 99% of the vote for @nytimes to drop the qualifier, "limited"? Maybe they would let him squeak by with 95%?
I tuned into the Bernie rally in Houston (live via his YouTube channel) and the biggest applause line was "Our administration will believe in science" π― https://t.co/dYo9Lre1kj
Bernie and I both want the same thing β affordable health care for every person. My plan does just that while protecting union health plans. Bernie's refusal to tell us how he will pay for his plan adds unnecessary financial risk to achieving health care as a right for everyone.
