Kristine’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo

3 notes & 3 highlights

I disagree that individualism means there are no barriers, of course there are barriers, but just means you can't put everyone in a box. not everyone who is black is one way and not everyone who is white is another.

“They run only where there are lights. They don’t say anything but are both thinking the same thing: guys never think about light, it just isn’t a problem in their lives. When guys are scared of the dark, they’re scared of ghosts and monsters, but when girls are scared of the dark, they’re scared of guys.”
― Fredrik Backman, Us Against You
