Whether Americans know it or not, they live in, and are shaped by, a racist society long dominated by white men and the white-centric worldview they promulgate—that was the premise of two presentations and a workshop held in the Wood River Valley last week by best-selling author Robin DiAngelo.
DiAngelo, a white woman, knew that her premise, and the arguments she would build off of it, would be controversial, and that some in the mostly white crowds would find them upsetting. The 90-minute presentations last Wednesday and Thursday, as well as a three-hour workshop on Thursday, were condensed versions of her new book, “White Fragility,” which debuted in the top 10 on The New York Times’ bestseller list this summer and remained there for seven weeks. The book addresses why it’s difficult to discuss racism with white people, especially those who believe they are not racist.
