I don't understand how people can take this kind of material seriously. The anti-racists claim that white people are afraid to have an "honest conversation about race", but they themselves refuse to talk honestly about black crime and the massive IQ differential between blacks and everyone else.

Does talking about black-on-black crime make black people uncomfortable? Does talking about rampant gang violence and the glorification thereof make black people uncomfortable? Does talking about the ubiquitous homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and racism in black communities make black people uncomfortable? Does talking about blacks' vilification of their peers for trying to break the mold and escape their community's own vicious cycle of poverty and self-destruction make black people uncomfortable? Does addressing the culture's anti-intellectualism, decadent consumerism, and shameless indulgence make black people uncomfortable?

It's not about being uncomfortable, it's about sweeping real problems under the rug and ignoring the elephants in the room. Performative white discomfort and self-flagellation has reached a fever pitch in the US. You're willfully blind to ignore this.

I don't necessarily see anything controversial in the book. All of the following points are commonsense:

Yes, white people deflect to avoid talking about racism.
Yes, systemic racism exists
Yes, racism means a system of oppression, meaning only white people can be racist
Yes, everyone had implicit biases towards their own race
Yes, race was invented to justify the oppression of POC
Yes, white people need anti racism training to confront their racism and biases

I know a girl who has books like this on her bookshelf. She is a self-hating white lefty who spends a lot of time on twitter, but never empties her trashcans or washes the dishes until they’re full to the brim. She’s also fat and has framed posters of pithy quotes all over the apartment. I honestly feel bad for her that her life is so shallow, maybe it’s the birth control pills, or maybe it’s her lack of religiosity, or maybe it’s living in Los Angeles. My cousin is also similar, a shaved-headed, Filipinx, nonbinary Brooklyn-dwelling, hate-spewing Twitter fiend. Both these girls are resentful and buying into these safe, socially acceptable revolutionary ideas. Real bummer, but it drives me to run further, invest more money, and build my own life instead of tearing down others.

She just routinely overstates “institutional racism” in the United States. Perhaps because she’s so fucking old
She claims, for instance, that it’s easy and even likely to get all the way through Grad School or Law School without discussing racism.
I don’t even think I got through 1st grade without discussing racism and that was in the 90’s.

It’s like when some smartguy redditor loves to complain how everybody in America believes Columbus was a great guy and nobody knows about the crimes against the indians he committed.
In reality, nobody has been taught that for decades and just because it makes you feel smart to think Americans mostly live in ignorance on the issue, it doesn’t make it true.

Which basically means she’s criticizing the absolute bottom rung of white society. These just so happen to be the people with an actual grievance since they’re excluded from diversity quotas and affirmative action.

>White Fragility also reinforces the belief that the responsibility for racism lies with individual workers’ attitudes and invisible phenomena including implicit bias rather than the policies and practices authorized by employers. If I were an employer, why wouldn’t I want to hire a specialist to train workers to believe that their own identities and unconscious biases are the main sources of inequality, instead of exploitative workplace practices? Simply put, DiAngelo continues to be paid by schools and firms across the country for the same reason that employers pay any professional or manager: it advances their material interests as opposed to the interests of their personnel.
>There’s a more essential problem at play here: White Fragility actually reinforces racist beliefs. Sociologists generally agree with the notion that ethnicity can refer to an identity that individuals or communities assert, but races are labels that are ascribed to individuals. As scholars like Barbara E. Fields, Adolph Reed Jr., and, amusingly, DiAngelo’s fellow-traveler Ibram Kendi, have repeatedly noted, racist beliefs and practices presume and reify the belief that nature produced different types of humans with unique, inborn attributes. DiAngelo doesn’t talk about supposed “racial” differences in skulls or intellectual capacity, but the book is filled with associations of race with physiological differences. Terms such as racial stress, racial [dis]comfort, racial control, racial knowledge, the unavoidable dynamics of racism, racial relaxation, and racial manipulation disturbingly resemble inverted beliefs communicated by white nationalists and commodified by the Armitage family in the film “Get Out.”

It's a one-sided hit piece against White Identity with the continued concept to destroy community identity and replace it with a muttified mindless herd that will be forever enslaved to centralization and globalism until the time comes that the herd is no longer needed and will be culled and/or left behind to wither away into obscurity while the rest merge into the immortality of the Singularity. This book is just another tool in that arsenal. Resistance to that is paramount for the survival of humanity. It's GOOD to be what they consider "racist" (for they have no real clear definition of what that even means to begin with), do not let the herd that uses mob mentality violence of suppression work against you. They call it "fragility" for resistance against them, yet when their own lackeys sperg out it's called "an act of defiance" etc etc. It's all loaded ideologue lies. Marxism is dead, neo-capitalism = marxism in the end as a synthesis of its reality. Without going much further, these people only seek one thing and that is your death or indoctrination.

I haven't read the book yet; it is on my list after a guilty pleasure read. That being said, I'll assume you have read the book and simply address your assertions.

>Yes, white people deflect to avoid talking about racism.
Not intended in a 'what about-ism' way, but all people deflect to avoid talking about their racism. This is a great topic, and a wonderful teaching moment. Unfortunately, once you attempt to focus on one demographic it becomes moot. Most people, regardless of their demographic, turtle because they feel attacked.

>Yes, systemic racism exists
In law in America? Only in attempts to help under served demographics that I am aware of. Look at California's recent repeal of Prop 209 or SCOTUS's ruling regarding Grutter v. Bollinger where the majority opinion opined that "race-conscious admissions policies would no longer be necessary in 25 years". This is a clear indication that racial preference in law is unethical but deemed desirable in some instances. Do I agree with it personally? Not particularly. Unfortunately I do not have a better alternative at the moment. So I will very tentatively state it is undesirable, but it may be the best of the worst solutions available to us at the moment. In non-legal terms? I’ll save that response for your next assertion.

>Yes, racism means a system of oppression, meaning only white people can be racist
I have already shown legal systems of discrimination exist in America but favor poc. In this regard the statement is patently false. In non-legal systems? Yes, but that assertion is messy and without end. There is no end to the number of systems we partake in at any given moment. Just right now in this conversation we're partaking in: societal norms and conventions of grammar, terms of service with 4channel, the social norms governing moral action by whatever subcultures we ascribe to and those subcultures the audience may ascribe to, and (back to legal systems) the laws governing speech in our countries. The assertion that people of color necessarily suffer under this umbrella of unstated social systems is ridiculous. In any given scenario you can likely find various norms that are antagonistic towards them and various norms that are beneficial towards them. In fact, the very assertion that these anonymous systems are always antagonistic removes agency from poc entirely. It asserts that existence is something done TO them rather than something they partake in. The act of placing a demographic in a perpetual position of victim hood enforces a social norm that one demographic (poc) innately requires/deserves special privilege or consideration by the other demographic (white). And once you create a subculture with this societal norm (which is one of those systems we partake in) you are propagating the very initial premise you claim to abhor.

Talking about systemic racism in terms of written law is doable. Attempting to talk about systemic racism in a blanket term of social norms is a self defeating argument. It is simply too broad a topic to so liberally apply such a designation.

>Yes, everyone had implicit biases towards their own race
I’m sure there are exceptions, but I agree with you generally. I would argue the best course of action to fight this is to present the argument towards all people rather than one demographic. The focus on white people ignores every other race that fails this same test of character. We all need to grow here. Also, implicit bias can be overridden. Ever met someone who claims they only date someone of another race? Ever met someone who gives charity to a racial demographic that is not their own? The entire subculture White Fragility ascribes to and attempt to perpetuate propagates this very phenomenon of white people over ridding their bias in favor of poc. I’m not knocking it or endorsing it. But I will point out it only exists as a one way street.

>Yes, race was invented to justify the oppression of POC
Ben Franklin’s antagonism towards German immigrants, the Third Reich’s antagonism towards Jewish people, and British/British descended Americans' antagonism towards the Irish or Irish descended American’s seems to show this is a patently false statement. This is attempting to not only take first place in the Victim Olympics, but it attempts to bar other demographics from even contending. Rather than making it a contest, why not simply acknowledge that tribalism is bad and something we should all attempt to grow past?

>Yes, white people need anti racism training to confront their racism and biases
Because we all need the training. Because we all should confront these issues that we propagate. Because by making the assertion apply only to white people it fails to assert others need to do the same. Because if you genuinely believe only white people need to work on this (no matter your reasoning), you are asserting it is acceptable for non-white people to partake in racism and bias. If the only argument against racism and bias is that it is done to one demographic (rather than that they are inherently unethical or immoral norms at face value) then you are making a value statement of one racial demographic over another. That is racist, and it becomes a self-defeating argument.

American society is in the preparatory phase of an organized campaign of racial violence against whites.

Recently I’ve decided that I will no longer sit idle while whites get harassed, jumped or beaten by feral joggers. I will not only go out of my way to stick up for whites, but also go out of my way to help them when the opportunity presents itself. I am not looking for trouble, and I will not start anything, but if I see a fellow white in trouble being jumped by a pack of joggers, I’m grabbing my bat and I’m fucking up some knee caps. No questions asked. If the nigger was in the right (and I doubt it) then it’s just not his lucky day. I don’t care if the whites were calling the joggers dead mother a nigger, I’m sticking up for them from now on. We need no questions asked white unity and we need it fucking now. I for one will try doing my part by defending whites whenever and wherever it’s needed if I can.

For too long I’ve allowed myself to say things like:
>Well what happened
>What did the white guy do
>Maybe he deserved it

From now on (FUCK THAT). I am changing that habit right fucking NOW.
It doesn’t matter what happened, fuck joggers. It doesn’t matter if the white guy stole the joggers wallet, I’m still helping the white guy. No whites deserve to be left alone to deal with packs of joggers anymore, regardless of the reason.

Here is my new philosophy: if I see anyone in trouble that does not have black skin, I’m involving myself from now on.

If I see any niggers harassing, abusing, or hurting
>Elderly Whites
>White men or women (that aren’t cucks)
>White kids or Teeangers
I’m fucking shit up.

Based black man issues a startling take down of White Memeility in The Atlantic of all places.
I find it aligns with my own take on it. DiAngelo is a pseudointellectual fraudster profiting from from the creation of a fake area of racial expertise. It's chock full of heavy-handed moralism and sparse on scholarly sophistication. It patronizingly treats African Americans as helpless victims. It's planted on a philosophically shallow founding in which racism is an unanalyzable, primordial evil that attaches itself to white people through an ambiguous yet ever-present attribute of whiteness. The books primary ideological function is to make a certain class of educated whites feel good about themselves through ritualized acts of self-effacement.

The invisible system they refer to is a necessary mental construct for them to reconcile the material reality of brown failure coinciding with the most liberal time and place in American history. However, this isn't an indictment of systems thinking generally, or even the concept of privilege. They just apply it wrong. This always happens when strong ideas leak out to the public. Frankly, most books should be burned.

This phrase escaped my notice. This is just another form of racial division. Blaming Jews is just another racial diversion as blaming whites. The only way that truth can be perceived in the matter is by abandoning this effort to offload culpability on a simple an unanalyzable category such as race and viewing it in terms of structure, organization, policy, law, ideology, informed by a materialist understanding of history.

Your language is a bit crude but I disagree. These BLM protests coincide after a pandemic and another round of capital extraction on the part of the ruling classes. The primary goal of this misdirection is to divert attention away from a more complete uprising the closest approximation of which was the Occupy Wallstreet demonstrations. Having plundered the economy to completion they are now throwing it to the dogs, permitting the most backward lumpenproles to rampage in the streets with full justification for seeking social justice.

Why would I, as a white woman, read a book written by a white woman to learn about racism? Especially a white woman who repeatedly insists she is racist and that racism is an incurable ill tantamount to but more enduring than original sin?

Yeah, but using the words failing or not failing implies it's their fault when it reality they are simply the subjects of a system where a very small number of people take decisions that have ramifications for millions of people.

You misunderstand me. The relations of power being such as they are to the elite there is no way they can be defeated without an aggressive overthrow similar to other revolutions of the past. The cards are stacked in their favor.

If the claims made by the authors do not match the material reality, or the well founded statistical evidence, you should ignore them whether black, white, or any race. The only purpose of reading such books is to learn the ambitions of factions.

For example, in these kind of books whites tend to emphasize the guilt and evil of whites (it always become original sin), black author tend to be either very resentful or narcissistic, jews however have nearly always the goals of demonizing collective action of behalf of whites. A good example of the last one is the fictional story of "The Wave", a story presented as truth, where the point is simply that whites who engage in collective action on their own behalf are evil nazis

Uh, no it's not. Liberals say the reason blacks are poor and overwhelmingly working class is because of the history of white supremacy and liberal race hucksters produce books like DiAngelo's to further this fraud, and right-wingers either say it's because blacks have a bad culture that doesn't make them want to succeed in a capitalist society, or they say it's just because they're low IQ animals.

Regardless of which of those narratives you like and want to believe is true, the hierarchy persists forever. And the reason is that the hierarchy isn't produced by ideas, it's produced by capitalism and its relations of production.

I don't view it as an alliance, but the record of donations to BLM shows that capitalists are willing to paw off some bribes to keep fueling it. I'm reminded of the classic 1976 movie The Network. At first, many different interest groups attack the renegade TV personality for breaking with the script when he goes off on a diatribe against it. One group, a black radical group, then shows itself to be complicit in it, with it heavily implied that they are just in it for the bribes without actually caring for advancing the causes they presume to support. I forget the detail but it's a very relevant movie, watch it.

Just Network, seen it, good stuff. Capital absorbs discontent and makes it work for it. I just don't think BLM ever really opposed capitalism, it opposed the "capitalism" of empty headed SJWs, which is just normal White people honoring non-monetary, pre-capitalistic values like law and order, politeness, high trust communities, the family, etc.

The low doesn't know it's allied to the high. BLM, and SJWism generally, is capital identifying what threatens it--Middle American populism--and telling the proles "it's capitalism! Go smash it!"

Right. The critique goes far beyond BLM and implicates the women's pussy hat marches that have been seen in recent years and LGBT stuff too. These are all instantly coopted by major corporations, who are eager to divert attention to side-effects of the main problem.

Is it just me or do you guys find niggers ugly inside and out? While I do despise nigger culture, dark brown/black skin just seems unattractive, very plain and dark, lacking features, they all look very similar ironically and lack diversity. On the other hand white people come with different hair/eye colour combinations, it is creative and diverse, and white skin is plainly beautiful, it glistens in the sun and turns a red hue in winter. Why would you ever want to breed with a nigger and throw all of that away? I don't think I could ever see myself with a nigger, they're just not for me.

If they truly were they would reject the money. Those are just the donations that have been made public, which establishes the assumption that it's all that should be made public. Already there are surely members who claim to be influencers of the movement who are working out pecunious arrangements in order to fit and constrain the revolutionary potential of the movement to the boundaries accepted by the media. Otherwise it will just continue to devolve into undirected and displaced violence, to be met with an increasingly authoritarian response. Maybe useful idiots think that BLM carries genuine revolutionary potential, but it's definitionally limited by its basic premises. You can't found a sustained revolutionary movement on the premise "we are the 13.4%!" Many involved hope to just cash out when they can and leave things to the general course of events.
