#WhiteFragility

2025-11-29

I've been watching another Karen show, All Her Fault, which has a theme of the unfair burden of the (white) mom having to always be "amazing".

Pluribus utterly destroys that concept, excellently, giving us a female character who's anything but "amazing", and the whites are so much, "no, not like that. she makes us seem bad".

We need more unlikable female characters because women are just as shitty as men.

The graphic forgot Wage Theft.

Contractors who underpay and threaten to call ICE if the worker asks for what was promised at the start of the job. House flippers pretend to be ignorant of this.

But to answer the questions Why the students enrolled just to complain? Aggressive #WhiteFragility, a tool of #whitesupremacy

The only people who have ever told me that I'm wrong about race are people who also chose to explicitly identify as white to me.

I'm not sure what that means, but I'm sure it means something.

Well... that escalated quickly. But quess what, you already changed my mind with your first take. You teached me my limits (you call it ignorance), and | rather have a good laugh with my black neighbours having fun to black music, than listen to random Internet personas sliding into my mentions to dump their bad vibes on me.

@gvs --

Seriously... You should really do this for every one of your comments.

Locate the racist trope(s):

It is not, it is census based fact:

Black kids: 65% without their biological father

White kids: 25%

That didn't used to be the case. And we know fatherless homes lead to a higher chance of crime and
worse economic outcomes. So you want to help any group of kids, ensure their fathers stay in their
lives.

You have provided no facts whatsoever, you just state something and append the word fact and that is
afact. &

{ChatGPT command prompt screenshot}This passage contains several racist tropes and stereotypes, presented as “facts”
1. “Black kids: 65% without their biological father” — broken Black family trope
This repeats the long-standing stereotype that Black families are inherently unstable or fatherless. It ignores systemic causes—mass incarceration, economic exclusion, discriminatory policing, and housing policy—that disrupted Black family structures.
2. “Fatherless homes lead to crime and worse economic outcomes” — cultural pathology trope
This frames poverty and incarceration in Black communities as the result of family failure rather than structural racism, inequality, or systemic discrimination. It's part of the “culture of poverty” myth historically used to stigmatize Black communities.
3. Selective statistics trope
Using father absence data without context (such as incarceration rates, divorce trends across all races, or evidence that many nonresident fathers remain active in their children’s lives) misrepresents the issue as uniquely Black. This is a common rhetorical tactic to racialize a social problem.
4. Dismissal of counter arguments as “not facts”
The final line positions the speaker as “fact-based” and the other as emotional, which is a rhetorical strategy of racial denial—treating systemic racism evidence as illegitimate while presenting cherry- picked statistics as truth.

So so fragile.

Trump Says Smithsonian Focuses Too
Much on ‘How Bad Slavery Was’
The remark, made as the president has ordered a wide-ranging
review of museum exhibits, added to his pattern of minimizing
Black history.

Oh. Want to know why the US is so afraid of using the term #genocide?

Why the US wouldn't use the term during the Nurenberg trials? Why they can't apply it re: #Gaza?

Because US slavery and Jim Crow are #Genocide

#whitefragility means nip it in the bud, any use of the word Genocide.

"The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."

"Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."

This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

"Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."
by Scott Campbell @susurros

“Peace, within an antiblack world, is a fallacy (much like freedom). The metaphysical infrastructure that supports the fiction of the white human is sustained by antiblack violence.”
by Calvin Warren, in Ontological Terror

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."

Global South feminists are reclaiming refugee discourse this 7th July.

Recently, 49 white South Africans claimed “refugee” status in the United States – a move that dangerously conflates white settler discomfort with real exile.

Last month, after finishing Camp Damascus, I decided to pick up my second ever nonfiction book, #WhiteFragility by #RobinDiAngelo, at the recommendation of someone on here. While it took a little while to learn to spot when my focus is drifting and refocus, I've taken to it so much better than expected! I'm about 2/3 through it now and having virtually no focus issues anymore. My problem now is just picking it up every day, since my gaming habit has finally also regained my attention.

We can’t strip O’Leary of his citizenship, but can we at least strongly suggest he never return to Canada or be near a Canadian flag again?

What a corrupt toad. No one with a shred of morality respects this guy.

“Even CNN’s token Republican Scott Jennings sat back and laughed when the Canadian-born businessman went into full meltdown on Tuesday’s NewsNight.”

@GottaLaff we appear to have reached the the bottom of the slippery slope that started when some offended white racist said: ‘but that — insert racialized person — is being racist toward MEEE’
