As a Black woman, I think this woman and people who think like she does are complete basket cases. I had to tell a coworker who confessed her guilt about being White during this time, that she shouldn't be guilty for anything she personally does not contribute to. She then told me that she feels guilt for her family members who are racist. I told her that It's not her place or responsibility to apologize for the racism expressed by others, family included. Adults are to be held accountable for THEIR OWN actions and words. Children are to be taught compassion towards others with love and patience. I and most Black people I know do not blame White people or expect White people to atone for the actions or words that they had no part in. They are not their racist family members or neighbors. They are individuals who should be held accountable as such. Just judge everyone by their own expressions and not those of others. If we all did that, this society would be much better off.

[@N.i.E.M.O]

His statement was more along the lines of; constantly putting a spotlight on race and racism will only keep racism alive. Things such as 'Black History Month' were created with good intentions, but in the end, it only serves to keep racism at the forefront of our conscience. When 'SJWs' insist on bringing up, accusing, and reminding everyone about race and racism, it will result in society being unable to ever get over it. It can only set race relations back. Hell, many on the Left are even in support of bringing back segregation, only this time, 'white people' (straight, cis, white men, specifically) should be the ones discriminated against. Because straight white men deserve it, apparently.

Jordon Mason - I didn’t think it could get more racist than suggesting that objectivity and individualism are white constructs, values black people could never organically embrace or embody. Then she really, truly wrote that a black man who expresses sympathy for a white woman in tears is doing so out of racist or sexist conditioning. Not, you know, because he sees her as a fellow human being; or perhaps sees in her his mother, sister, daughter if she were in distress; or perhaps sees himself in her; or has an admirable sense of chivalry. He couldn’t just be kind or thoughtful. It’s racist and sexist conditioning and nothing else. Apparently, to her, a black man is black and virtually nothing else.

[@sheenamarie832]

​@@nicocas3583 I understand what you're saying. I think you might be simplifying the message though. I have read the book so I'm happy to discuss this. The point is not that noticing another person's race and commenting on it is racist. Actually this is the opposite point of the book because the book is saying we should do that. And it takes it further by encouraging people to notice how we may unconsciously say things that lend itself to a sense of superiority of one race (or if you don't want to use the term race then ethnicity or culture. Though the book does argue on the importance of the term race itself which I personally am not sure I agree with). Perhaps your son's inquiry was based on curiosity if his family and most people he was exposed to were not black. This in and of itself is not racist. Merely pointing out race is not racist. An act of superiority based on the foundation of race is though. This is confusing though and it's normal for a lot of people to confuse the message of this book with meaning what you are describing. Previously racism was interpreted to mean overt acts of hatred, but if you look up the definition in the dictionary it says discriminatory acts of prejudice towards other races based in a belief of superiority. The root of the debate is encouraging people to reflect on if their actions or words are based in a foundation of whiteness being superior. It's something we take for granted a lot of the time so we don't even notice it's there. It's unconscious unless you actively look at it and are open to hearing from the perspective of people who do not operate from that paradigm. The point of the book is to encourage white people to be open to this. Though I did find the book to be in a tone that was inherently attacking, I mean even the title of the book is hard to take in. It makes white people feel attacked and it doesn't offer much support along the way. So I don't think it's the best book personally but it's a start. I just am noticing that the intention is being misinterpreted by a lot of people.

Really? I had a lot of his classes and I loved him as a professor. I didn’t agree with him on everything and sometimes he would cross the lines with what he said at time. If anything I think people are complaining since his classes weren’t easy, he made you earn your grade and I know a lot of students hate when a class isn’t an easy A

I as a black man enjoyed this book white fragility and agree with a ton of it I’d love to read this book “White shaming” as well....Shapiro is way off in his interpretation of what she is saying in almost all points against it, the only chapter I agree with and thought was stupid was the chapter “White woman’s tears” lol I get what she was getting at but it was a wasted chapter but Ben even misrepresented that as well 🤔

"Hating someone based on their race" is not the "simple definition of racism, *it is the definition of racism*

[@____________7035]

WRONG! everyone knows racism is just disagreeing with the left. get with the program

[@lessevdoolbretsim]

My favorite moment is when Ben works himself up to the point where he actually says bu**sh**.........twice. 23:43 They did unfortunately go back and bleep it. It was great to be able to hear it raw tho. The subject matter richly deserved the language.

Can you add time codes? Pretty plz

Racist people generally think racism is okay. People are typically uncomfortable if they do or believe something they find morally repugnant, so it only makes sense that racist individuals don't think it's a sin. They aren't in denial of their racism. You should believe those who earnestly insist they are not racist.

[@sjoerdvermeijden]

"Why it's so hard for white people to talk about racism", maybe it's because if you say something a liberal doesn't agree with you're immediately called a racist. That might have something to do with it

[@toughfff712]

How do you talk about something that has an evolving definition, which doesn't make sense.

[@djcdubb]

Just don’t be racist. Not hard.

[@finchborat]

Pretty much. The left will shut you down and run you off. They think they're 100% right, when in reality they aren't completely correct. In some areas, they're correct. Other areas, not so much.

[@richardsobeck583]

@@djcdubb But we are finding out, per folks like DiAngelo, that everything white people do is racist. Their existence is racist. I hear on the news eveyday someone who is speaking for civil rights making some new thing up that is racist I didn't know before. Calling the police when your house is being broken into is racist according to the Minneapolis City Council! It all sounds actually pretty racist to me! Absurdity aside.

“Identity politics bringing people together by segregating them into smaller and smaller groups” -Jonathan Pie

[@hellogoodbye8762]

@William Hall You might be the only rational human in this entire comment section full of people who are OBSESSED with rationality. lol

[@zachseidle1171]

@William Hall what you just said is a very superficial way of looking at people. Instead of segregating community issues and assigning them based on a person's appearance, maybe then you can see that they are human issues that humans need to solve. I dont see the reason why you seem to think or anyone seems to like that the best way to help out a community problem is to categorize them as a black, white, asian, or Hispanic problem. The only thing that will accomplish is blocking people into groups based on color and projecting negative stereotypes in to them that kids will then grow up learning and never will be able to look past them.

[@lorentacla9740]

@William Hall Ayn Rand once said that "the smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minority rights." In other words...Identity politics and intersectionality theory out will eventually segregate the world into individuals; since you like identity politics so much, perhaps the best way to view the world is as interactions between individuals...

[@JACathcart5181]

This reminds me of the scene in "Monty Python's Life of Brian", where Brian denies being the messiah. Someone says, "it is prophesied that the messiah will deny his divinity!" Exasperated, Brian says, "Alright, I am the messiah", to which everyone begins to cry out, "He is the messiah!" With Diangelo's circular illogic, she creates a no-win scenario for anyone who disagrees with her. Absurd.

[@az_3kgt714]

YOUR A RACIST!! why ? BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!

[@contumelious-8440]

Great Analogy, Mr. Cathcart.

[@FoxIord]

It's like if someone accuses you of never admitting you are wrong. If you say they are wrong, you're confirming their statement as much as if you agreed with them.
