White Fragility
by Robin DiAngelo

View in Library Catalog



I listened to the audiobook of this. I found it very informative. I know some people are annoyed by some of the things Diangelo says, but she makes a lot of fair points and references a lot of research, as well as combines it with some of her personal experiences. One of the takeaways I have is that you can't break it down to just good and bad. The racist = bad and not racist = good. We can't escape racism because it's embedded in our societal norms. Our laws and rules. All we can do is learn and be better. No one is exempt from racism. Even those who study equity and work to be antiracist sometimes slip up. We (white people, mostly) make inappropriate comments or don't realize that certain things we say or do harm other people. No matter how hard we try to be "good" and not racist, we can't escape the racist ways of this country. All we can do is continue to learn and grow.

This was very interesting. I was able to empathize with the authors family history and struggle with his identify.

I liked how her writing improved as I read the book. My heart absolutely broke for her when she discusses she's HIV positive. Also, her yearning for love and being completely confused by what it is.

I appreciated that the TV series didn't follow the book because I appreciated the character development. Aunt Lydia became a sympathetic villain.

got me to like biographical books and i began to think about the idea that how everyone has a story to tell no matter what. usually we hide things/topics/relationships that hold the most significance or key value for us

Animal Farm

I really enjoyed seeing the how the different animals coincide with current political figures and how we can be like sheep following the pigs.
