White Fragility: Unpacking the Racial Conditioning in America

Quotes of White Fragility book "White people in North America live
in a society that is deeply separate and unequal by race, and white
people are the beneficiaries of that separation and inequality. As
a result, we are insulated from racial stress, at the same time
that we come to feel entitled to and deserving of our advantage."
"I believe that white progressives cause the most daily damage to
people of color. I define white progressive as any white person who
thinks he or she is not racist, or is less racist, or in the
'choir,' or already 'gets it.' White progressives can be the most
difficult for people of color because, to the degree that we think
we have arrived, we will put our energy into making sure that
others see us as having arrived." "I am often asked by white people
how they can challenge racism in their families and communities
without alienating their loved ones. This dynamic is so predictable
that the question is nearly ubiquitous. The answer I give is that
you can't." "White solidarity is not about white people getting
together and deciding to be racist. Rather, it refers to a
consistent pattern in which whites defend one another's racially
problematic behavior out of loyalty to—and investments in—a system
of racial inequality." "Color blindness in the context of a
white-supremacist society means whiteness remains the norm and the
standard, and people of color must assimilate or be pushed into the
margins." "The white collective protects its power and privilege
largely through its investments in and emotional attachments to
white supremacy." "White people are not used to thinking about
themselves in racial terms because they don't have to. Racial
identity is a privilege; it's consistent with the definition of
privilege as not having to pay attention to or think about
something." "One of the most effective adaptations of racism over
time is the idea that racism is consciously perpetrated by mean
people." "Whites often rely on comfort and familiar narratives,
which they mistakenly perceive as tautologies." "White fragility
functions as a form of bullying; I’ll threaten to throw a tantrum
and you’ll back off and leave me alone with my racism." Please note

Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism" is a book
