Why all white people are racist, but can't handle being called racist: the theory of white fragility

Robin DiAngelo was right out of college when she started thinking about it. She'd landed a job leading workshops on racism. And she met a man who became very angry, and pounded on a table. He said white people are the target of discrimination, white people can’t even find jobs anymore.

DiAngelo looked around the office and she saw nothing but white people, all of them with jobs.

"It was unnerving," she says now. "It was like, 'This is not rooted in any racial reality that is happening, in this room, in this workplace, or in this man’s life.' And yet, these feelings are real. His rage is real. How do we do that?"


Meaning: How do white people see themselves as the victims of racism, when the world around them shows something totally different?

DiAngelo worked for years doing racism workshops, wondering this. Eventually, she developed a theory.

"I started thinking about how fragile our sensibilities are when it comes to race," she says.

Her theory is called "white fragility." You can read her original paper on it here. She also wrote about it in a book, called What Does it Mean to be White. .............

cacs gon cac.... They see others having their hands in everything when its always been some or other white men at the top controlling things... they can't deal with reality so they blame others... even when they have a head start so when the see a black guy with a little something more they get jealous about it too...
