White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism by Robin DiAngelo
reflective
slow-paced
2.75
I listened to this on audio book because I kind of expected how I would feel about it.
Quick note about the audiobook version, the voice actor has a very clear voice but wow it really does feel like Alexa is hosting an HR talk and that does make it difficult to stay focused the whole book.
I don't think this is a useless book, but it is absolutely the bare minimum. Yes there are a ton of white people who need to read it but this it absolutely should not be the last thing you read. It's quite redundant, and I really wish she would have used more examples from the perspective of bipoc folks but it at least gets the important basics out of the way in a clear and unarguable way.
