Robin DiAngelo Advises People of Color to ‘Get Away from White People’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Robin DiAngelo, the author of the bestselling antiracist book, White Fragility , insisted that racial minorities should separate themselves from white Americans.
“People of color need to get away from White people and have some community with each other,” DiAngelo chuckled during a webinar entitled, “Racial Justice: The Next Frontier,” hosted on March 1.
Later on in the panel discussion, DiAngelo went on to suggest that people who do not concede to antiracist teachings do not belong in modern workforces.
“In 2023, we have to see the ability to engage in these conversations with some nuance and some skill as a basic qualification and if you can’t do that, you’re just simply not qualified in today’s workplace,” DiAngelo said as the panel of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultants nodded in agreement.
“What I want to do is create a culture that actually spits out those who are resistant,” DiAngelo added.

The once-obscure American academic rocketed to fame in recent years after coining the term “ White Fragility ” in 2011 to describe, in DiAngelo’s own words, “a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves.”
Oxford Dictionary shortlisted the word in 2017.
The following year DiAngelo wrote a book of the same name, which spent nearly three years on the New York Times bestseller list and became popular following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. During this time she began charging as much as $15,000 for speaking engagements.
Among the book’s most highlighted sections for readers, according to Amazon, include passages such as: “People of color may also hold prejudices and discriminate against white people, but they lack the social and institutional power that transforms their prejudice and discrimination into racism; the impact of their prejudice on whites is temporary and contextual.”
Another is: “It is white people’s responsibility to be less fragile; people of color don’t need to twist themselves into knots trying to navigate us as painlessly as possible.”

"segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"
What's old is new among progressives.
If you ever wonder why race relations have taken such a disastrous turn the last 20 years, the acceptance of this nonsense into mainstream thinking has a played a large role.
This will not end until we eradicate white guilt.
oh look, common ground. we should eradicate white people guilty of racism ...
Start with the one who stole caturd's avatar
devangelical's avatar is a gif available for free at tenor.com.
Probably where your Gab friend "catturd" got his.
I have never spoken to the individual who is one of the most popular people on Twitter.
Actually, some 'white people' should get away from some 'white people'.
For safety sake, some Black people should get away from other Black people if they only could.
At the current homicide rates, almost 5% of black males will commit a murder during their life. Seems like that's an issue worth resolving.
We are going to need a link to verify that.
I guess the anti CRT crusader/grifter Rufo isnt bright enough to see that the lady was playing on the language used by the Dilbert guy.
This seed is a yawner.
Its flabbergasting that we have people on this seed denying that the US has historically been a racist country. The evidence, over the course of 300-400 years is overwhelming and extremely well documented.
Who has denied that?
And yet you never can never define or explain what you mean by "racist country"
Does that mean every white person is racist? Is the US a racist country today. Is there systemic racism now?
As usual, for supposedly being well read and educated, you make very little sense
It's amazing how short minded these idiots really are. In the 60's they fought to end segregation and improve civil rights; now they are trying to go back to it. How stupid are these people?
