  1. @MontgomeryGator I would highly encourage you to read the rest of the posts I've made on this subject tagged #WhiteFragility . By minimizing the problem to class alone you are being reductive to the issues people of color face every day. In fact, it's one of the things that #RobinDiAngelo quotes in the video I linked earlier.

    "I know people of color. [...] The real oppression is class. You misunderstood me. [...] If you knew me or understood me, you'd know I can't be racist. This is not welcoming to me. You're making me feel guilty."

  6. I can choose it. Don't want it. Got it. And it's actually incredibly transformative and liberating to begin from that premise so that you can begin to think,
    "Well, how is it coming out in me?" so that I might be able to stop that or ameliorate that rather than, "It's not coming out in me."
    [...]
    And yet the worst fear of a white progressive is that we're going to say or do something racist, but, "By God, don't you dare say that I just said or did something racist," rather than, "Thank you. I didn't see myself doing that, and now I can do something different."

  11. i want to bring up a quote from #RobinDiAngelo from her talk on her book, #WhiteFragility.

    As a result of being born and raised as a white person in this culture, I have a racist worldview. I have deep, racist biases.
    I have developed racist patterns, and I have investments in a system that has served me very well and is very comfortable for me, and it really helped me get over sexist and classism that I struggle with. And I also have investments in not seeing any of that, for what it would mean for my identity and what it would require of me in action, right?

    "Yes, but at the human level..." when we make that move, right, get race off the table, and let's position some kind of shared universal experience. There isn't one in this physical plane that we live in, in a society deeply separate and unequal by race, right? So I call these color-blind because they basically say, "I don't see it, and if I see it, it has no meaning."

    "#ToniMorrison uses the term race talk to capture “the explicit insertion into everyday life of racial signs and symbols that have no meaning other than positioning African Americans into the lowest level of the racial hierarchy.” Casual race talk is a key component of white racial framing because it accomplishes the interconnected goals of elevating whites while demeaning people of color; race talk always implies a racial “us” and “them.”"
