She's just a gnostic guilt reliever for corporations. An alternate perspective could be that she collects protection money for the social justice mafia and corporations are provided cover for equity discrepancies in return. Meanwhile (and there are studies on this) apparently everywhere her practices and others like hers go, they leave companies with substantively worse internal race relations.

Ms Diangelo has marketed biogotry and promotes its instutionalization. Her use of generalization to "prove" her thinking was formally belittled when talking about persons living in crime ridden neighborhoods.

[@MamaLeague20]

Everyone has been generalized, but when it is on the other foot there is a problem. Instead of listening to respond, try listening to understand. And yes, generalizing was belittled when talking about black people (I said it for you) because of the resulting stereotypes that actually affect our very real lives. If an employer believes the prevailing narrative that “all black people are late,” can that not affect a black person’s chances of landing the job? That is racism. A system that spreads false, narrow representations of people that become ideologies (beliefs) of everyone in that society, and then are repeated throughout society until they become the norm, is a system of racism. Blacks are lazy, Mexicans don’t have papers, all Asians eat rice…, these are all racist ideologies that have been absorbed in the society around us. It is not intentional, however because of how White people have been socialized, they refuse to even consider that society might look different from the perspective of a person of color. They have been, subconsciously, convinced that their experiences are universal, when they are not. The way things are experienced from a White person’s view are not the same as everyone’s else’s. That’s why they cannot, or will not, consider views that are separate from their own. It is not conscious. It is a result of socialization. If you do nothing else, please look into the meaning of socialization. Not the definition, but the meaning. I do not mean this with any malice. I believe we all should learn at least one new thing everyday. If you haven’t learned anything new yet, here’s your chance. :) I make it a point to share my knowledge with others if I know what I am familiar with the topic. It’s not being a know-at-all. It’s knowing and wanting to share it all. Have a blessed night!

"I am," is the most honest thing she's said. I wouldn't have a problem with Robin DiAngelo if she just talked about trends and self-examination. Or even ways we may unintentionally cause harm. The problem is her projection of 'If I'm like this, other people in my racial demographic are like this because they're like me, and this being a social trend somehow lessens the moral responsibility'. She's not a CRT scholar, but she does build off a lot of CRT concepts and of systemic racism, which is why she tends to get lumped in with the ideology. But I agree she does them badly and is an example of toxic application. It is human to react when being called out on your faults or shortcomings. But her approach to "diversity training" is very antagonistic and kind of racist, so I'm not surprised she has people walk out or not listen.

If white people of the north didn't willingly fight and die, emancipation might have been delayed a hundred years or more. You need allies, like it or not. No group if they are a minority can do it by themselves. That's always been true.I personally don't believe Robin DiAngelo is an ally to African-american people, but if you reject all people of good will speaking on your behalf then you have quite the climb ahead of you. An unnecessarily difficult climb at that. It is also logical to look at both sides. Oppressor/oppressed is a simplistic paradigm that ignores so much. It shows how saturated your thinking is with CRT modes of thinking. It neglects various factors that contribute to minorities slowness to advance economically.

to say, simply that "racism exists" and to say "it is infused across all of our institutions" are two vastly different claims

[@MrDoudini]

If racism in America exists, where did it come from? Where did people my age (late 30s) learn it from? Why is the current school curriculum not seen as a type of critical race theory seeing as though it teaches exactly what people claim CRT teaches? The history books I grew up with taught us that white could and blacks couldn’t. It taught white supremacy from cover to cover. So in many ways it is engrained in our society just from this aspect alone. I can pull out at least three other ways we have all been manipulated to believe one thing about a particular race through our systems and institutions.

Yes, that snowflake doctrine of yours is called individualism. Though it has been under attack from all sides of the political spectrum since its conception, I would argue it's at the heart of the exceptional humanity (note that exceptionality is a relative term) of Western culture today. The great liberation movements of the past which included first the woman (the white woman in America) and then (in America again) the black man and woman into the conception of the individual capable of exercising its liberties, which prior to that had centred around the (white) man, are so valuable because they extended the reach of individualism, not because they conceived of the world in oppressors and oppressed. You apparently cannot fathom that others can or at any rate would like to be able to perceive the world as consisting of individuals, not (social) groups that determine individual action. I would say that this is also at the heart of the divide between the illiberal and the liberal left today.

[@deponensvogel7261]

Going a bit into detail: You claim that DiAngelo is actually describing racism proper. In this sense, a racist is someone who is, in fact, incapable of discriminating between members of a different (perceived) race; i.e. the white man perceives white people as individuals and black people as a monolithic blob. Consequently, if you turn that thing around (that is you are incapable of discriminating between white people), as the first commenter has accused you of, that is obviously triggering. A quite trivial observation of yours, I must say. Racism tends to be.
