Why non-racist whites are racist
« on: August 28, 2020, 12:25:34 pm »


"And since it is impossible for black people to be racist, any white person who is not being racist is committing behavioural blackface. Therefore, all non-racist white people are racist.

In this, I am building on the work of bestselling author Robin DiAngelo, whose latest book points out that any white person who denies being racist is guilty of “white fragility” and is therefore even more racist. This is a brilliant argument, because it means that anyone who disagrees with her is simply proving her point.

As Robin explains: “White people assume niceness is the answer to racial inequality. It’s not.” In order to combat racism, therefore, we all need to stop being nice to people of colour."
