If You’re White, You’re Racist. Period.So says Robin DiAngelo, who proves that whites can be race hustlers, too.Fri Jun 26, 2020 Bruce Bawer 
Torri HigginsonBruce Bawer is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.At a time when violent radicals are attacking America and its institutions as fundamentally and irredeemably racist, Robin DiAngelo may well be the woman of the hour. A 63-year-old professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, she’s a big name in multicultural education and in the burgeoning field of Whiteness Studies, which, unlike other identity-group “studies,†exists not to exalt the group in question but to demonize it. In the words of National Post columnist Barbara Kay, Whiteness Studies teaches that to be white is to be “branded, literally in the flesh, with evidence of a kind of original sin. You can try to mitigate your evilness, but you can’t eradicate it. The goal...is to entrench permanent race consciousness in everyone – eternal victimhood for non-whites, eternal guilt for whites.â€
DiAngelo, just so you know, is white.
In addition to being a professor, DiAngelo is a “workplace diversity trainer.†And she’s not just any “workplace diversity trainer.†As Kelefa Sanneh put it last year in the New Yorker, she’s “perhaps the country's most visible expert in anti-bias training, a practice that is also an industry, and from all appearances a prospering one.†In these days when everything is suddenly about race and when pusillanimous corporate leaders are falling all over themselves pandering to Black Lives Matter, DiAngelo’s services as a “workplace diversity trainer†are surely more in demand than ever.
But DiAngelo isn’t just an academic and an anti-bias trainer. She’s also an author. Two years ago she published a book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism, that has been on the bestseller list ever since, making her an eagerly sought-after speaker. Just a few days ago, in the thick of the current race war, she was interviewed by an inanely fawning Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. Her message: all whites are indeed eternally guilty, for they’re all racists, and all “people of color†are their eternal victims. Don’t think you can escape the racist label by saying “I judge people by what they do, not who they are†or “I don’t see color; I see people.†DiAngelo doesn’t buy into the idea of colorblindness. Nor does she have any patience for Martin Luther King’s sentiments about the content of one’s character. “Individual whites,†DiAngelo explains, “may be ‘against’ racism, but they still benefit from a system that privileges whites as a group,†and are consequently racists.
