"White fragility functions as a form of bullying; I am going to make it so miserable for you to confront me—no matter how diplomatically you try to do so—that you will simply back off, give up, and never raise the issue again. White fragility keeps people of color in line and “in their place.”
Social power is not fixed; it is constantly challenged and needs to be maintained. We might think of the triggers of white fragility as challenges to white power and control, and of white fragility as the means to end the challenge and maintain that power and control."
"Whiteness is a location of structural advantage, of race privilege. A ‘standpoint,’ from which White people look at themselves, others & society." "Whiteness is conceptualized as processes and practices rather than a discrete entity (i.e. skin color alone)"
I am not looking for a fight, a nationalist or concerned about anything personally.
I am very happy that many Western governments are beginning to take racism seriously, despite the efforts of those socialized to resist change.
“Stopping racist patterns must be more important than convincing others we don’t have them”
I know racism will be defeated, I am sure of it.
