The Violence Of White Fragility

Send us a text

The use of white fragility is violent because some white people use fragility as an oppressive tool to oppress Black People. White fragility is used to evoke sympathy and protection and villainise Black people.  It is the assumption that white people need comfort and protection based on their weaponised and often violent fragility. We have seen Karen do this as part and of her womanhood.  White  Men's white fragility is their egos.

Last week I was part of several interview panels where white women weaponised their tears and fragility to navigate through their interviews. A white man sought to educate me in his white saviour cape about his experience as a white french man teaching in Congo. You couldn't make last week up it literally felt like I was being attacked by white fragility. I navigated through but ended last week exhausted.

In this episode, I unpack the violence of white fragility and its use within the workplace and in life and how we as Black Women need to strategically navigate through without pandering to the white fragility weaponised against us.
