Awakening to Change is designed to help unify our community by developing a shared understanding of the history, policy, and experiences shaping contemporary discussions of race. We tackle a new topic each month, sometimes reading books, discussing films, or learning from articles. All are welcome to join! This meeting’s topic is White Fragility.
Coined by Robin DiAngelo, ‘White Fragility’ refers to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged by race and/or racially charged conversation. Anger, fear, guilt, argumentativeness and silence are just some of the identifying signs of ‘White Fragility’ ultimately preventing any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. Discover where you are on the ‘fragility’ scale.
