White Fragility: a book review

With the race industry in high gear, you have probably heard of the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. It is all the rage among leftists these days, because it is supposed to be the authoritative analysis of white racism. I generally do not read books such as this, because I know, just like in a Hallmark movie, how the story is going to end. However, I decided to take the plunge and endure the six hour audio book. I was not impressed. DiAngelo is a guilt ridden white leftist academic who is steeped in identity studies who gives seminars, and provides employee training on racism. It doesn’t take much imagination to know what that training is like, or what the book is like.

There are other reviews that dig into some specifics, such as DiAngelo’s ignorance of history. However, my review will be a big picture review that looks at her theory of white fragility and how she promotes it. My review may sound hyperbolic, but if you read the book yourself, you will see that it isn’t, because the book is just that shallow. It is a testament to the fact that some of the stupidest things uttered on planet earth are said by elitist academics with PhD’s.

The main theme of the book is that the entire system is racist and that all whites are racist.  Furthermore, if you are white, it is evidence that you are a racist if you try to deny that you are a racist.  According to DiAngelo, whites who claim not to be racist do so because they do not want to relinquish the racist white power they have in the racist white system. She is quite the mind reader. This mind reading ability of hers is something she does throughout the book, in which she plays out hypothetical interactions between a black person and a white person, and then proceeds to explain what the thoughts and motivations are of the white person. She can be correct only if all whites think the same, which if you were to say that about any other race, you would be called a racist. DiAngelo lives in her own little world with her own little book which is her little bible authored by her which establishes all of the rules, and according to the rules she has established, there is no escaping your racism if you are white.

Psychoanalysis is a common tactic for leftists to engage in, because they have done the same thing when it comes to climate change. They are so self-consciously supremacist that they cannot understand how anyone can disagree with them. So they use the appeal to authority by conducting these psychoanalyses by supposed learned and authoritative individuals to make it appear that those who disagree with them have some kind of a mental defect.  

I do recommend that that you read the book, because it may well show up in a back pack near you. This book is apparently being pushed upon children across the country, so it is important to know what’s in it so you can tell the school board what they can do with it. This book is a threat to both white and black children. It is a threat to black children because it tells them that there is no hope. It is a threat to white children because it drenches them with guilt for being racist and mean persons, and places on them the burdens of slavery and Jim Crow. DiAngelo attempts to place all responsibility on whites for race relations. However, relations means just that, relations. Relations only work if everyone works together. One side doesn’t get to continuously beat the other side up and expect a good relationship to be the result.

Do you want freedom or tyranny?

As the old saying goes, elections have consequences. We have an election coming up, and there is a clear choice to be made, and that choice absolutely is between freedom and tyranny. Totalitarianism is the word of the day and is defined as a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state. Does that sound familiar to anything that is going on right now here in America?

The antifa and blm domestic terror groups are right now attempting to terrorize Americans into complete subservience. They do this with the complete support of Leftist politicians across the board, and the main stream media which is more properly known as the Democrat Propaganda Ministry. While the antifa and blm terror groups wreak havoc in the streets, Leftist politicians at the State and Federal levels are moving to destroy America’s history and legal system, and this is all being reported by the Democrat Propaganda Ministry as peaceful protestors pushing positive change.

Leftists cloak their tyrannies with sweet words such inclusiveness and tolerance so that anyone who opposes them is anti-inclusive and intolerant. Many who don’t want to be seen as anti-inclusive and intolerant, and don’t know how to defend themselves simply sulk away and cede the battlefield. This is exactly what these leftists want so that they can have their way. Kind of like the rapist who beats the woman into submission. These Totalitarians tell us every day with their words and their actions what their exact intentions are, and the antifa and blm enforcers will do their part to ensure compliance and ultimate completion of their agenda. Let’s consider law and order, which is currently being transformed into lawlessness and disorder.

Is there any doubt where these Leftists stand when it comes to law and order, and what life would be like under their control? They have shown no regard for the safety and security of law abiding citizens while showing complete regard for the lawless actions of antifa and blm by referring to them as “protestors.” The death, destruction, blackmail and extortion antifa and blm as the enforcement arm of the Democrat party have wrought on this great country are staggering. Now these Leftist loons are demanding the defunding of the police, and state politicians nationwide are in many cases willful collaborators, while others are fearfully complying with these demands.

They in fact have placed the well-being of criminals in all their forms ahead of that of law abiding citizens. They have released violent criminals back onto the streets who then roam the streets like wild dogs to create a much larger cache of victims. They refuse to punish criminals for all types of abhorrent behavior while rushing to punish those who are forced to protect themselves from these animals, such as the white couple who were accosted by three racist black women, threatened with violence, and then the black women attempted to prevent the white couple from leaving by standing behind the vehicle while it was backing up.

The white couple clearly were trying to de-escalate the situation during the entire encounter while the black women were trying to escalate it. It wasn’t until the racist black women tried to prevent the white couple from leaving by standing behind the vehicle that the white woman jumped out of the car with her pistol demanding to the black women that they back off. The white couple in this circumstance conducted themselves appropriately at all times, and did not respond forcefully until their freedom and safety was in doubt. They did this while the black women were doing everything in their power to escalate the situation and were simply looking for trouble. The black women no doubt were emboldened by the fact that thugs such as them face no legal consequences for their criminal behavior while the victims of their terrorism are faced with assault, battery, and death.

We have seen this scenario play out over and over and over. Law abiding citizens trapped in their cars or their property and fearing for their lives. At that point it is just them and the thugs. What exactly are they to do? Well, apparently according to the LEFTIST authorities, they are to allow these thugs to have their way with them or face criminal charges for protecting themselves. Is that the America you want?

The second part of complete totalitarian control is through our electoral processes. They want to undermine the election processes by flooding America with illegal aliens, giving them the right to vote, and then buying their votes with government largesse. That worked well for FDR, why shouldn’t it work now. They want make D.C. a state when in fact D.C can’t be a state because it is the capitol of the United States. They want to eliminate the Electoral College which was put in place to ensure that every State mattered in national elections.

They want to eliminate all controls designed to ensure free and fair elections such as using mail-in ballots on a wide scale that were mailed out to dead persons. No wonder they have always fought efforts to remove dead persons from voter rolls. Every election is a process that must be controlled in order to prevent fraud so that the vote of every person who takes on the responsibility of voting will not have their vote cancelled by a fraudulent vote.

There basically two types of political philosophy, freedom and tyranny. Those who seek tyranny will never stop in their efforts to achieve it. Those who desire freedom will lose it if they do not resist these forces of tyranny. It is time for the silent majority to stop being silent. Don’t just sit around the house talking about how these left wing loons are running amok and that something should be done about it. You have to do your part to do something about it. Speak out, write letters, protest, run for office, never back down, and never allow others to make you believe you are a bad person. Freedom is not free, and those who want to take it are always motivated, and are not afraid to get dirty. We can’t watch the fight from the cheap seats, because the fight has broken out in the stands and is coming to a seat near you. We must get into the ring for the future of this great country depends on it.

Does Anthony Fauci have a clue?

It seems to me that Fauci simply bends with the Kung Flu wind. Early on he said we weren’t in any jeopardy and no reason to be alarmed. Then when the cases and deaths increased he said we were all going to die. Then when everything started dying down he said it was time to start reopening the economy, and then when cases started to increase again he went back to the we are all going to die scenario.

He also made an extremely stupid and telling comment the other day when he said that we do not have the Kung Flu completely under control. When have we ever had a virus under complete control? This comment gives us a deep insight into what lengths he is willing to go to in order to achieve that unachievable control. One very important thing to know about Fauci is that he is not a epidemiologist, he is a immunologist. If he were an epidemiologist instead of the immunologist that he is, he would understand that there is no way to control a virus.

I enjoyed very much the comments by the Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick when he said Texas doesn’t need Fauci’s help, and that they will use their own experts. I think that is an excellent idea. It’s time for Fauci to go. President Trump needs to send Fauci back to his sandbox, and bring someone in who understands epidemics.
