White Fragility by Robin DioBrando

[Anonymous No.19444970]

So I just read this book from the rare stand user Dio Brando, or at least I think. I was really excited to learn more about his cool time freeze ability. I thought that 'White Fragility' was the name of his stand newest ability. I know that Jojo's stand learned more abilities, so why not Dio's as well?

But when I opened up the book, I was disappointed to see it appears to be just CIA psychological operation culture war bullshit. As I was reading, I found this quote:

"Consider a conversation I had with a white friend. She was telling me
about a (white) couple she knew who had just moved to New Orleans and
bought a house for a mere twenty-five thousand dollars. “Of course,” she
immediately added, “they also had to buy a gun, and Joan is afraid to leave
the house.” I immediately knew they had bought a home in a black
neighborhood. "

So this, this is the power of anti-racism. I kneel.

Here is another:

"I decided to do what would retain my moral and professional
integrity and serve as a model for other white people.
As diplomatically as possible, I said, “I understand that you gained
valuable insight from that interaction and I thank you for sharing that
insight with us. And I am going to ask you to consider not telling that story
in that way again.”
When she immediately began to protest, I interrupted her to continue. “I
am offering you a teachable moment,” I said, “and I am only asking that
you to try to listen with openness.” I then laid out what was racially
problematic about how she told the story and offered her a way to share her
learning without reinforcing racist stereotypes, for the same story could
easily be told and the same conclusions drawn without the racially charged
imitation of the mother.
She defensively interrupted me several times but eventually appeared to
be listening. Shortly after this intervention, we took a break. Several
African American teachers came up to thank me, as did one white teacher
who found my intervention a refreshing and much-needed example of how
to break with white solidarity. Several white people also approached to let
me know how upset the teacher was and that she was quitting the group."

So stunning and brave!

How, where, and when you give me feedback is irrelevant—it is the
feedback I want and need. Understanding that it is hard to give, I will
take it any way I can get it. From my position of social, cultural, and
institutional white power and privilege, I am perfectly safe and I can
handle it. If I cannot handle it, it’s on me to build my racial stamina.

If you are reading this and are still making your case for why you are
different from other white people and why none of this applies to you, stop
and take a breath. Now return to the questions above, and keep working
through them. To interrupt white fragility, we need to build our capacity to
sustain the discomfort of not knowing, the discomfort of being racially
unmoored, the discomfort of racial humility.

I appreciate this feedback.
• This is very helpful.
• It’s my responsibility to resist defensiveness and complacency.
• This is hard, but also stimulating and important.
• Oops!
• It is inevitable that I have this pattern. I want to change it.
• It’s personal but not strictly personal.
• I will focus on the message and not the messenger.
• I need to build my capacity to endure discomfort and bear witness to the
pain of racism.
• I have some work to do.

(CNN)If you're a white person in America, social justice educator Robin DiAngelo has a message for you: You're a racist, pure and simple, and without a lifetime of conscious effort you always will be. You just can't help it, you see, because you've been swaddled in the cocoon of white privilege since you came sputtering out of your mother's womb, protesting the indignity of it all. You may be indignantly sputtering right now at this insult to your humanity -- for how can you be a racist? You have black colleagues you consider friends; you don't see skin color; you never owned slaves; you marched in the 60s; you even protest today against the uniformed "bad apples" that use the power of their authority to smother minority lives and minority rights. "How dare you say I am anything like them?" you grumble, as you pull the cloak of your bruised and fragile feelings around you. And there -- with that simple act -- you personify the theme of DiAngelo's best selling 2018 book, "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism."

White fragility triggers
Racial stressors may cause a range of defensive behaviors and emotions. White people may act in certain ways when people of color discuss racism.

Their reactions may include:

anger
fear
guilt
arguing
silence
leaving the stress-inducing situation
By behaving in this way, white people may prevent people of color from attempting to talk about racism with them.

Different sources of racial stress that white people can experience may come from:

a person claiming that a white person’s views are racist
a person of color talking about their racial experiences and perspectives
a person of color not protecting a white person’s feelings about racism
a fellow white person not agreeing with another white person’s perspectives on racism
a white person receiving feedback that their behavior or actions had a racist impact
a white person being presented with a person of color in a position of leadership

White fragility is a term that Dr. Robin DiAngelo invented to describe how white people react to issues of racism.

Dr. DiAngelo has a Ph.D. in multicultural education, and her specialty is whiteness studies and critical discourse analysis.

Why is it problematic?
People experiencing white fragility may not be racist, but their actions, behaviors, and feelings may promote racism. Avoiding the topic of race contributes to racism. By disregarding the notions of white superiority and white privilege, racism will continue to hold its place in society.

Since white people rarely experience racism, they often cannot see, feel, or understand it. Many people of color describe having been prepared to live as a minority in a racist society by their parents.

Due to this absence of understanding and experience, white people lack what Dr. DiAngelo calls “racial stamina.” However, white people can develop racial stamina by having direct experiences with people of color and engaging in sometimes difficult conversations with them.

By building racial stamina, white people may be able to manage racial stressors rather than ignoring or silencing them. Conscious and explicit engagement with people of different races can help break the pattern of fragile behaviors and actions related to race.

This is what happens to Calvinists when you prove God doesn't exist to them. They snap and mutate into something even more guilt-ridden and neurotic. American Leftism is just post-modern puritan schizobabble, plain and simple.

I am very thankful I am not white. This is like pre-Holocaust Nazi writings about the Jews, and it’s the dominant American ideology.

I actually bought a gun because my area started having more blacks move in. A few months later, a black man broke into my house, so I shot him in self-defense.
