Columbia Professor John McWhorter took Robin Diangelo’s NY Times bestseller “White Fragility” to task in a recent article.
McWhorter wrote,
DiAngelo’s outlook rests upon a depiction of Black people as endlessly delicate poster children within this self-gratifying fantasy about how white America needs to think—or, better, stop thinking. Her answer… entails an elaborate and pitilessly dehumanizing condescension toward Black people. The sad truth is that anyone falling under the sway of this blinkered, self-satisfied, punitive stunt of a primer has been taught… how to be racist in a whole new way.
