Got White Fragility?

White fragility has been coined as “a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation” (DiAngelo, 2011). Let’s help our community members begin to understand how to deal with white fragility and how such shows up daily.
