Cinfhen Darn, I used to own that book but I donated it!! I couldn‘t get into it 🤷🏼‍♀️ 4y
Cinfhen That‘s amazing 23/24 books!!! I might own a few more on my Kindle and Audible but I‘ll be needing to borrow a bunch 4y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen and 12 of them are from the backlist, so that's good too! 🙂 4y

As a white male, I felt like DiAngelo was letting us, progressive whites, off the hook a bit at the beginning. By the end of Chapter 6, that is not the case. This has been eye-opening in my own problematic white behaviors. This has been an incredible guide to exploring and challenging my own racial prejudices. #vote #whitefragility

#WhiteFragility
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All white people should definitely read this and then give it to all other white people you know. Especially the chapter “White Women‘s tears” is enlightening.

#TheFifthSeason
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A new, refreshing fantasy series. What a treat.

Getting ready to start this one today. It‘s my Zoom book group‘s choice for August. And I‘m leading the discussion. Time to get cracking!

#Bookgroup #BLM #blacklivesmatter #whitefragility #antiracist

alisiakae I just finished this book today (working on review now!). It was also my book club‘s August selection, but I ended up missing the Zoom book club. 🤦🏻‍♀️ (edited) 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I actually saw you were reading it. Looking forward to your review! That stinks you couldn‘t be at the book meeting. I am leading our discussion, so I have to make it! (Not until 9/3 actually) 4y
alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage I could have been there, I just completely forgot about it! It was the day I had the house inspection, Meet the Teacher Zoom, new build mtg with site supervisor, and a bunch of other things. I didn‘t catch a breath until 9 that night when I realized it was book club night but if had already ended! 😟 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Yikes! That‘s a lot! 4y

Reading this book on Juneteenth feels very appropriate. I could quote from it all day, but here is one I made a bookmark of in my audiobook. “My race is unremarkable. I belong, when I turn on the tv, read bestselling novels, and watch blockbuster movies. I belong, when I walk past the magazines racks at the grocery store or drive past billboards. I belong...” #howjessreadsin2019 #juneteenth #whitefragility

Ashley_Nicoletto Oh man. This quote makes me want to read it more. 6y
Samplergal I started it yesterday. So. Good. 6y

This.
“Socialized into a deeply internalized sense of superiority that we either are unaware of or can never admit to ourselves, we become highly fragile in conversations about race. We consider a challenge to our racial world-views as a challengers our very identities as good, moral people. Thus, we perceive any attempt to connect us to the system of racism as an unsettling and unfair moral offense.”

Chelleo Looking for to reading this in the near future. Welcome to Litsy! Hope these #Litsytips by @RaimeyGallant http://bit.ly/litsytips and #LitsyHowTo videos: goo.gl/UrCpoU are helpful. There‘s so many fun things to do: book exchanges, buddy reads, photo challenges and more! 6y
RaimeyGallant Welcome! 6y
AskAprilJ @Chelleo Thanks. I‘ve heard all of these great things too! I haven‘t figured out the way Litsy thinks yet, but will continue to explore. “How to” is important but I don‘t connect with video well. I digress. Thanks for your input and offers! Have a delightful day! 6y
SW-T Welcome to Litsy 😊 6y

Interesting listen. DiAngelo's sociological perspective is fascinating, and I thought she made some strong recommendations for dealing with socialized racism.
