Robin DiAngelo’s book, White Fragility, is deservedly under fire. As Tweeted by “The Woke Temple,” Diangelo’s book is merely a continuation of her articles, including Beyond the Face of Race: Em-Cognitive Explorations of White Neurosis and Racial Cray-Cray, by Cheryl E. Matias and Robin DiAngelo, Educational Foundations, v 27 p. 3-20, Sum-Fall 2013. The Woke Temple offers this graphic to feature some key quotes (and proposed responses) from DiAngelo’s bizarre paper:
I have really wanted to read this book because of how ignorant everyone I am reading and listening to have said but I have limited reading time and don’t want to waste it on trash. Glad you have confirmed what I had heard. And now she has a best seller…..
The most important take-away: You can’t fix stupid.
