The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

A much needed experience. As a multiracial human, reading this book gave me hope. There were moments that were even hard for myself to read, but the lessons were far too powerful to not push through through the discomfort. Not only has this book opened conversation and sparked hope in myself, but in the people that I surround myself with. This book has been used as a tool to mend relationships through education, recognition and accountability. I’m grateful this book exists and I look forward to more from this author.

buuullll craaaaaap. i haven read this book, and i don’t need to. i saw a person writing a review talking about why white people should feel guilty, and it’s because of hundreds of YEARS of slavery. so here’s what i have to say: 1.) slavery in the americas didn’t last hundreds of years. 2.) your also saying that slavery is still a thing today? i don’t know about you, but when i look in farms and other places i don’t see black people working with chains on, i don’t see black people being enslaved. and if you do, i suggest you get some glasses, then you’ll realize it’s an 80 years old white guy working harder than you are. another thing i want to say is that i’ve heard people saying that white people will never understand what it’s like be black. i beg to differ, because last time i checked, we were all human right? we all have fingers? hands? toes? feet? eyes, mouth, a heart, lungs, and in most cases, brains? what’s different than your experience than my than what you CHOOSE to do? i grew up with to large clothes, i grew up in a poor family, i grew up and was bullied. did i let that stop me? no. did a lot of other people, white and black, let that stop them? yes. and there’s the difference. it’s mindset is what it is. if you think “oh darn, i’m black so i can’t do a bunch of stuff,” that’s what your gonna do right? your not gonna try and do stuff because you’ve been telling yourself your whole life your limited by your skin color. but if you say, “hey, i’m black, but what does that matter? hey, i’m not the richest man alive, but what does that matter? i can be.” then you’ll actually try! the same goes for white people too. the color of your skin isn’t what stops you, it’s the state of your mind that does. and one more thing: the only walls that separate are the walls that we put up, which means that they weren’t there before. that also means THEY CAN COME DOWN. the only thing that stops us is ourselves. luck, or skin color, or anything else has nothing to do with it.

This author is in it for the money.. What a load of crap. Don’t waste your money.

Not-A-Scrabble-Player

Racist garbage. The author apparently has never read a history book in their life. This is racist garbage

FitchieElijah124

Required reading for whites. For white propel who consider themselves allies, or people who are interested in becoming allies by educating themselves of racism, racial relations, and how it affects people of color, this is the book for you.

JakeIsBoss116

Thoughtless trash.. Ignoring that this book is simply flat-out racist, I really dispose of the idea that if white people disagree with you they’re fragile. Now, this may go right over your sheltered little heads, but some people don’t actually believe in systemic racism. Completely ignoring their ideas and calling them “fragile” really shows that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You people will stereotype/make fun of republicans all day long, but the second one of us tries to have an argument, you turn your backs. They’re fragile, they’re uneducated, they’re xyz. It’s a cope.

Ponioni

If you’re white read this. Every white person in America should read this book. Maybe then we have a chance to dismantle white privilege even just a little bit. I also love that this book was written by a white person, because they will never understand what it’s like to be black but they are willing to be an ally well enough to write a book. Signed, a woke white person Ps I am reading reviews were people are comparing the author to Hitler and saying that this book is crap... my response would be that it must be very hard as a racist white people to read this book and come to terms with what is actually going on within America and themselves so much so they felt the need to write a review and call the author racist. It’s such a sad state to be in and those people more than anyone need to read this book with an open heart and open mind. The author is unbiased and neutral if anything and stating facts/data as a professional.

Steven A Segal

White Fragility. This book relates the sentiments of a person who sees reality as shades of fault with other people for her personal perceptions of reality. The author claims credibility through academic credentials but, if such credentials do exist, they have been sadly narrow in scope and have endowed the author with but a very adjective concept of reality. It’s a shame; a shame because on the flare-up of racial tensions in the U. S. in the fall of 2020 it is my understanding that this book’s shallowness was read and, perhaps influenced, many people. I rated it four stars for being published at the right time to gain traction from a momentary rising tied of heated national emotion. The publisher actually deserves a five-star for the timing. I also gave it a four-star because, in spite of the author’s circumscribed view of the world of human interaction I believe she truly believed what she wrote. I simply hope she will mentally and emotionally grow enough to work positively over the coming years to help bridge the divides she describes so narrowly in White Fragility.

Counterstrikemayans

Left-wing equivalent to Mein Kampf. This is not dismantling racism, it’s promoting it. Why can’t people wake up to this?

Very.carrie7

Required Reading for all White People. There’s a lot of cognitive dissonance involved in the reading because it requires us, as white people, to acknowledge the myriad ways in which racism, and our racist society, benefits us. It is only through deep analysis and confronting our flaws that we become better allies, and less of a threat to black people. Thank you, Robin DiAngelo, for this important book.

Beaverhat

Cashing in on Race.. Another White person cashing in on race. What’s the chances that this woman knows anything about the African American experience, but she does understand CASH.

Blah hum1234

Your fragility shows. I wasn’t going to write a review until I read all of the butt hurt white fragile reviews. This is exactly the attitude the author is trying to help her readers examine and unhinge. I have a feeling that many of the negative reviews are from people who just read the title and felt offended. This book and more like it are a good place to start but only if you actually READ the book and as you begin to feel offended, recognize that is your white fragility. It’s okay.

Bonickle342

Horrible. Stupid nonsense

Jammin Johnny

Turning point, NOT white hate. In all honesty, when I started an antiracist book club, this was the book I wanted to read the least. It sounded too polarizing to me. It sounded like white hate to me. But my friends voted on this one. It was not an easy read. But I am very glad I did it. I love how the author gives us the tools to talk about racism comfortably. How else can we eradicate racism if we cannot talk about it logically? Once I passed the turning point and realized that calling out racism does not equal white hate, then I realized this book is not white hate at all. In theory, this book gave me tools to be less polarizing. (Not always in practice lol! I’m still practicing) I highly recommend doing it as a book club. It was very beneficial to be able to talk about it over the course of a month with my white friends. It really solidified many of the principles that were talked about in the book and made them habit.

Levi Alan

An Utter Remarkable Racist Read. I’ve never read something as radically racist in modern reads than what I’ve read in this book. Do yourself a favor and avoid this atrocity.

Obunga 2.0

Black Fragility. Call a black person a racial slur, they'll scream and try to fight you. Call a white person a racist term and they shrug or laugh at you. We need to confront the fragility of the Black community. Why do so few black men want to confront the issue of fatherlessness? That's very fragile of them. In all seriousness, though, I think the author needs to reconsider the fact that a white person can disagree with an assertion made about racism in this country, while not being inherently defensive/fragile about it.

ActiveEqualization

Written like a thorough discussion. DiAngelo writes like she has had “the talk” with white people about their unexamined racial bias thousands of times and this is her long-form response. Anyone familiar with campaign work or door to door sales is familiar with having a “dialogue tree” of answers for several common reactions to your “ask” and obviously DiAngelo has enough for a book! This is an excellent introduction to Anti-Racism from a personal improvement perspective.

Black truth teller

The art of the Lie. A pile of racist feces. This book is unAmerican, racially divisive, race hustling, and white liberals propaganda. This book should be used in one’s fireplace.

Appvroken

Horrible. Terrible book

Heyerdahl 37273727

leftist wokester garbage. so many contradicting points in the book she acknowledges but completely blows over them. this book is for those who are dedicated to upholding the narrative at all costs regardless of facts, need their dopamine rush by constant virtue signaling and hopping/following the latest trending bandwagon

Cooper42$

White Fragility. Very insightful! Every white person should read.

9gagunderground

Extremely racist book!. This is under the “dismantle racism” section yet it’s an EXTREMELY racist book written by an admitted racist!

Shurtma

C- on concept but some decent practical tips. Like so many left leaning people talking about this subject, she brings too much politics into it even though she professes to offer a social solution. Also, you kind of get a vibe from this book that she has lots of failures in trying to teach white people about diversity and finally concluded it’s not her fault at all, but her subject’s fault for being so fragile. If you can sift through the flawed assumptions, soulless rejection of individuality and unconvincing distinction between “fragility” from plain old defensiveness and obstinance, you can find some practical tips for group discussions at work on this topic.

Roseypee

Author is right. To everyone calling the author racist....THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN ABOUT YOU! TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT AND LEARN FROM IT! DO BETTER WHITE PEOPLE!

StopSpamTexts

This is why you can’t succeed. Blaming white people for your lease in life will not make you happy or successful. Give it a rest. You cried wolf too many times. People are “racism”d out. Get a job, have a family, keep it together. Stop having 27 kids with 24 different women. Black men need to step up and be men, not thugs.

YoMeds

Garbage. Just another racist author telling “racist” people how not to be racist by being racist so other so-called “anti-racists” can whack it to being racist anti-racists. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend, but the racists will.

Professor Daniels

Terrible Book. Reverse racism

Atom-ドラゴン

This is an attack on white people. Why are we supposed to “generalize” white people? They can’t control their skin color any more than a black person can. As a multiracial person I would commend you to look past this book and see that skin color is melanin, something outside of your control.

Jpjay13

Laughable logic. Circular reasoning that’s extremely light on truth. One line that stuck out was when DiAngelo stated that “white, liberal, intellectual, coastal progressives are the most bigoted, the most harmful, the greatest threat to racial equality.” That sounded spot on….but the rest was just whiny, fact free rhetoric designed to wear like a hair shirt for racist liberals who would rather point fingers at the right rather than own their own depravity.

Joshburcham

Propaganda. Not helpful and doesn’t rely on facts.

Haloisthebest123

Garbage. Polite racist crap from a deranged liberal who looks for any excuse to blame their failures on someone else

Mr. Z81

Trash. Pure garbage. Author should be ashamed of putting out such divisive trash.

Wattledaub

Oh the irony. It’s ironic.

Rockonjd

Textbookish. Heavy at times,good read

Daveledbet

Many claims, zero evidence. It’s truthfully been difficult getting through this book. The arguments are not really arguments at all. There’s no structure, thesis, or evidence to back up assertions. Every chapter is just claim after claim after claim. A compilation of quotes from other authors, glued together with more claims. Cannot dissuade you enough from reading it.

Smile1236374847

There is such thing as racism. There is such thing as racism, but we don’t have it now. Some people will call ME racist for saying that, in fact, some people call others racist just for being white. Now people that hate on the left or talk bad about them don’t see THEIR perspective. They think of it as the truth and some people do face racism but not by the police. Just a few bad apples doesn’t mean that the entire police force should be DEFUNDED. That will make people be left on the streets destroying our cities and communities left out on the streets that we had to work for. If we do actually do something about the police, trust me, we will have far more problems than we have now.

WNBIII

Brilliant. I throughly enjoyed this book. I’m lowkey excited to point out white fragility next time I see it!

Adirtygaspump

Absolute joke. Tell poor Appalachian whites who receive no government help, no financial assistance for college, and no preferential admissions how privileged and fragile they are. You’ll probably get punched in the face.

Understand2accept

Divisive and opinionated. Extremely biased. Very very unintelligent and closed minded. A person Can have 15 degrees and be very measurably smart and educated. True intelligence is the ability to view things from multiple different perspectives, ability to compare and contrast any two things. Intellectuals acknowledge similarities in every person as well as the differences. Simple minded thinking creates division and clique mindsets that allow people to use one difference (even unchangeable and not chosen like race) to continue to keep people divided and progressing as a society. Grow the f*€# up please.

Nugunslinger

Just for recommending. I could write this book if I wanted to. I could also drive off a cliff if I wanted to. The real question is, why am I being recommended this book?

Big Daddy Mas

Very good. As a Caucasian in the early stages of working with other clergy on racial reconciliation (we are challenging that moniker, how do you reconcile something that never was, none-the-less), her book opened up many areas I hadn’t considered. The fact we’re still discussing this 50 + years after Civil Rights is a sad testimony on our culture, we need to be honest and we need to understand what we take for granted. This book will help you see that. Drug on a little, she could have said more with less, but all-in-all, a solid, informative read.

Barrack Tobogann

Racist Trash. It’s unbelievable this is allowed in book stores. It is so blatantly racist that I assumed it was written by someone on the far right as a joke.

😜😁😃😉

Growing. This was an excellent book. I gave me a lot to reflect upon as a white person. I think this is a great start to truly understanding what racism truly is and how it affects our behaviors and attitudes. Well done. I have a lot of work to do!

Let h IM jhjk

Seemed fine.. Well, I was only able to read the first 56 pages, but it all seems fine. It’s ironic that the book is called “White Fragility” and people are commenting with their own white fragility. “It’s too divisive,” “It makes me feel guilty,” “Why should I be ashamed of who I am?” Well hundreds of years of slavery and oppression is why you should feel a little uneasy. I’m white, by the way... the author was respectful, and made it clear they didn’t believe all white people were bad. Even when they wrote that we are all racist, they made sure to explain it to mean that we all have unconscious bias, not that we are all demons. There are so many people rating this one star - why? Because it made YOU uncomfortable for a change? Oh come on! That’s the fragility the author’s talking about, so you’re really just proving their point. And some people even said this was like Hitler’s book. Really? You’re trying to compare a white person reading a book telling them how to not be racist to a Jew reading a book about why they shouldn’t exist? Wow. You guys are cry-babies. Almost...... fragile? You need to toughen up and stop taking everything so personally, you need to accept the truth and not take it as an attack on who you are. I think white people should feel a bit guilty for a change, or at least try and not be so racist. Don’t know if you guys are capable of that yet. You need to grow up first.

Mfhdkelslslfndwnssj

Title in itself is grossly offensive.. This book is undoubtedly racist in nature. It doesn’t take long to realize this is a modern rendition on Hitler’s Mein Kampf, but instead, replaces Jews with white people. This is not equality, this is dangerous literature and should not be taken seriously. Would give less than a star if I could. A true sham.

Gucci Guardian

Wow (and I mean that in the worst way). This book makes me feel like my most unique trait that I have to offer is my skin color, and I am a person of color.

Rfcudyfcidymv

Excellent. I learned so much from this book, I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares anything about racism. I am so thankful I found this book.

The Joelest

Nice instruction. Good read. It’s not over critical, just honest. You are a person, and the book is aware of that. Just be you’re best.

JenesisWitha J

An informative read. After reading How To Be an Antiracist by Kendi, my book club chose White Fragility. D’Angelo’s simplistic way of breaking down biases and privilege was appreciated. She keeps it easy to understand, and it was refreshing to read. I also like her first hand experiences while doing her diversity training. Her focus on white triggers was super helpful in guiding conversations with other people. Thank you for a great read!

Goldenlotus

Enlightening and interesting perspective. It made some very good points. always willing to expand and find new ways of understanding racism and how it can be dismantled. I challenge individuals to read this book and John McWhorter’s new book “Woke Racism”, both very differing but essential books on racism in America.

It’s a cult manual. Denouncing racism with the use of racism couldn’t be any more ironic. This woman is exploiting black struggles for clout & money.

Erica 👽

Lots of introspection. I genuinely enjoyed this book. Even as a woman of colour I found this book to be incredibly helpful in reassessing my personal prejudices. Make sure you take the time to absorb the material and really apply it to yourself before moving on to the next chapter.

Ellie Wills 894

Would recommend. I have read this book and throughly enjoyed the challenges it offered. I have given this book to family and friends when they have brought up the topic of white fragility, and what it means for them.

Jones_1976

Terrible. Absolutely shockingly ignorant.

Annoyed is already taken lol

White Fragility. I read this book because I was curious. I couldn’t believe that it could be as bad as many reviewer‘s had said. It is! The authors approach as far as I can tell is this: first redefine common English words in order to obfuscate and elicit maximum negative response from your reader. Wait until well into the book to actually provide the new definitions in order to ensure maximum confusion. Employee circular logic wherever possible. Miss state or twist the facts in order to fit your conclusions, or use outright falsehoods. State opinions as facts then draw wildly illogical conclusions. Most importantly make your thesis unfalsifiable by straw manning your critics arguments and then stating upfront that anyone who says these things is actually racist and therefore proves your point. Then repeat, repeat, repeat. I hesitate to recommend this book because doing so would put more money in the pocket of the author. However it’s probably worth it because any thinking person who reads this may finally come to the conclusion that all of this anti-racist/Neo Marxist/critical theory bunk is exactly that. I actually went into this hoping to be challenged and maybe expecting to feel a little uncomfortable. I didn’t feel the least bit uncomfortable because it’s such poorly written garbage that I couldn’t take it seriously and therefore it elicited no emotional response in me whatsoever. Except maybe sadness that people are falling for this and that someone like this woman is actually hired to teach in our institutions. This book is my hope that the absurdity may finally be exposed.

Karl Eriksson

Divisive arguments based on unprovable claims.. This book helps to make things worse. Claims race is central to your identity and castigates entire groups. Non-scientific, nonsense

Me from philly

Racist book at its core. The premise of the book is that if you don’t agree with the book, you must be racist. It then continues from there. It’s agenda driven and not academic. Not worth your read especially if you think yourself an intellectual.

Michelada44

Terrible. Absolute trash

Jared355

Racist beyond belief. I seriously can’t believe this is allowed by Apple

1more critical thinker

White fragility. Giving this book zero stars is still giving it recognition it does not deserve. Obviously the author has her own issues with her own racism. To say you are racist because you say you aren’t is just ridiculous. Racism is learned, not inherent because of the color of skin you are born with! What a sham this woman is making money, let alone being used as an example of how people should think about their “whiteness”. To think it is required reading at some companies and schools only gives me hope it is an example of how to spot a fraud and learn to critically think.

Dick#Pound

Complete Crap. I’ll wait to read a pirated copy. Buying it is a form of capitalism and would benefit the author. I will be sure to read a “looted” copy. Thank you!

Jamesk91

Racist towards white people.. The irony of this book written by a white person saying all others are racist. Lol. Do not waste your money if you have to read this trash it’s for free to download.

Persona de la mundo

Every American should read this book. This book will help every American understand how deeply rooted racism in our country. I see by other reviews that white supremacists do not appreciate this book... persona de la mundo.

Fannika80

Corporate Creed. Do not fall for this simplistic, overhyped, poorly thought out book. A highly paid corporate HR gun telling white people for thousands of dollars a pop that they will remain racist even if they don’t know it no matter what. So I guess they need her services forever? This is very convenient for powerful corporate bosses who want a gold star for “inclusiveness” without actually having to diversify their work force. Not so helpful for minorities or their poorly compensated white employees forced into listening to this white woman. Read Isabelle Wilkerson on the Great Migration, Michelle Alexander on mass incarceration or anything by Coates instead, Don’t waste your money on a false prophet.

Bugsbuggy665

Coming from a minor this is completely incorrect. This whole book is bringing down white people to justify some people’s racism

Important, Insightful and refreshing. In my efforts to become better educated on social injustice I have tried several sources so far on the journey. This one I think created the biggest step change in my perspective by provoking uncomfortable questions about my self and society in general. I really think it is well written, important and brave.

Should be minus a star. This book is sickening and racist! It should be banned! Wake up and stop this madness

Hateful. This is some twisted thinking.

Melo1919

Utter nonsense. This is trash , and this is a new york times bestseller?????

Tigonie

This book is dangerous for America.. I simply don’t understand all of these brainwashed leftists who think this book is anywhere close to insightful or teaching. They tell us we are rascist for being white and that we are bolstering this disgraceful, rascist author´s Point by giving 1 star reviews. I know some people might not have explained very clearly why this book was bad, but if they actually took some time to read some of the more insightful reviews they might notice that it wasn’t a coincidence that some people actually read it with a brain on their heads and noticed some of the less than subtle flaws in this work. If you are a leftist, you probably loved this book because it coddled your warped ideology and elevated your fellow woke people to a moral standard higher than anyone else’s. And since you are simply trying to gain power and political ground for your nonsensical ideals, you don’t listen to any opposition, or just plain slander it as being rascist. Just like this book does. It is not only a hateful book designed to divide America along racial lines, but a fatally dangerous book to the America we thought we stood for if it succeeds in this goal. I would like to refer to an irreverent and informed review(debunking) of this book by Ben Shapiro. Recommend that if you wish to delve into the qualities that define this book as dangerous, stupid and of course, racist. The division in these reviews shows just how divided we are already. We can’t let this happen to us. To America. It’s vital that we don’t navigate our lives after this book and this ideology. Or else America is doomed to be ripped apart.

Chandler ellen

This should be free for the rest of 2020. If Apple wants to support BLM and the movement to dismantle the white supremacy values of the U.S. then Apple SHOULD OFFER (and support these books and authors directly) THIS BOOK AND BOOKS ALICE—-> for FREE. >>MAKE this happen Apple and iBooks<< This is an incredible way to assist in educating folks everywhere: by making resource extremely accessible.

Duck lover 27

(breaks phone in rage somebody would target white people). So it’s ok to stereotype white people but it’s not ok to stereotype the other races of people (there are too many too put specifically) so yeah think about that Also how are there no African Americans who are deemed racist do they get a get out of jail free card or... Too bad our ancestors weren’t slaves so we could be on the “right” side of history Ps no I’m not a white supremace Also I’m looking for a girlfriend so yeah peace out beotch

Marvive

Unbelievably Racist. Attributes so much of the world’s great values and virtues to white people. Ironically white supremacist. Stop looking down on us people of color from your ivory tower.

Horrible. Do not read.

Wet garbage. Anti white trash. Asserts Black people are always victims and white people are oppressors. I can count on one hand the amount of truly racist white people I’ve ever met.

RichExperiences

We need a better review system here. Send address yet and I can tell but all the ones to reviews.... WTH - how long did it tale you to create all those fake accounts!

Assilem:)

Thank you. Thank you for writing on a topic that I am dedicated to learn more about. Thank you for challenging my learned habits and mindset. However, Robin’s writing style was just not my favorite. She spends way too much time apologizing for what white fragility is. It might have been more of an effective book to me if she spent more time explaining certain scenarios of white fragility. If we’re trying to unlearn something then someone needs to write a rule book. I think that’s partly why a Bible was written in the first place 🧐

Bi1ly Pilgrim

Garbage. People of color, you are talented intelligent creative amazing people who don’t need toxic white women like Robyn D’Angelo trying to tell you what you need in life. Please don’t read this book. According to Robyn D’Angelo every white person is racist. You are just born that way, and there’s nothing you can do about it. But the book treats people of color even worse, it assumes they are helpless little children that can’t do anything about the situation unless heroic white people like Robyn D’Angelo write books to save them from all the racist white people ruining the world. Instead of inspiring people of color with uplifting messages about how competent and capable they are, this book just Tell them how they are doomed to fail and it’s not their fault. The worst thing you can do for people to convince them that they are failures and they can never be anything more than a failure, but don’t worry here come the woke white liberals riding on their mighty steeds to save you. Trying to live life with this type of understanding of the world is toxic for everyone, this book will just further the divide between people of different races.

Trust-me-don't

Incredibly misguided and inaccurate. I’m a leftist myself, but I have to say that even this was too much for me. Obviously DeAngelo has some racist part of her she has to deal with, but trying to paint everyone as having her racist sentiment is just empirically not true.

Amber Jackey

Your ignorance is showing. To all the one star reviewers: Thank you for your help. By shouting your ignorance and hate and trolling the reviews of this book, you have successfully proven the author’s points and truths. I hear your anger for what it is: pain and fear. It hurts to hear that some of the biases that were passed down to you, as all of us have had passed down because that’s how being human works, were rooted in systemic racism. I am sorry that hearing the true version of historical events and policies has hurt you. Sometimes the truth does hurt. I am also sorry that you’re afraid of change and afraid to accept the truth that the versions of history you were allowed to learn in school were not necessarily accurate and were only told from the perspective of White people. It is very scary to realize that not only were you lied to but so were your teachers, parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so on, and they were used by the system to pass these lies on to you as facts with “evidence”. Evidence that was fabricated to support the “facts”. I am sorry that you are waking up in a world that is both the same one you’ve lived in since birth but also a completely different and horrifying one. I put this challenge to you. Instead of reacting to your pain and fear with anger, how about some thoughtfulness? Don’t like this book from the perspective of a White woman? Try “How To Be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi or listen to the free NY Times podcast “1619”. And please, continue to loudly voice your pain and fear if you’re not going to try to educate yourself. I prefer that to the quiet, subtle racists. Welcome home. This is America.

Epicarism

Read. I’m baby

CS Taylor

Beautifully written. Insightful & Thoughtful. As a woman of color I appreciated the insight & perspective. This was a hard but great read. This book should be on everyone’s reading list.

Snowflaketroll2020

Biased garbage. This was a waste of money, this book does make great toilet paper though...highly recommend it for that.

Charlemagne_IV

Black fragility. Black people are unable to recognize their own propensity to commit crimes and turn neighborhoods into ghettos. If you are offended by this or you disagree your black fragility is showing. In all seriousness, it’s fine to be offended by that statement. Just don’t be a hypocrite when the race is reversed. Try some others, like: White is King, the future is white, and white people cannot be racist.

J. Willan

Ridiculous. She attempts to re-define the term racism. I reject the entire premise of the book that only white people can be racist. I can not believe that people buy in to this drivel.

White Reactions Alone, Classic!. This book is worth every penny! If for no other reason than to allow the racial privilege in white people to show its ugly face in the reviews. Not all white people are racist, but too many are and it affects the country’s ability to unite and move forward from these massive historical stains. Racial bigotry, colonialism, destruction, theft, and rape of other continents has been the way of White people for hundreds of years. Too many white people are not accepting this fact is preventing real growth. Germany did a job of getting rid of all things Nazi but here in America, in the free world we should pretend it never happened and move on? Acceptance is the first step of admitting there’s a problem white people!

Racist trash. Terrible

-Frank-

Really bad.. Basically it’s how a white woman got rich exploiting black issues and race relations in America. Pure trash.

Communist/Marxist garbage. People that are behind this literature see the world as battle ground of unequal power relationships and nothing else

Stop supporting white supremacy. Don’t buy this book! I did and I regret it. If you are searching for a way to deepen your anti-racism knowledge, SUPPORT BLACK AND POC AUTHORS. Try: Me and White Supremacy - Layla F. Saad How to be an Anti-Racist - Ibram X. Kendi So You Want to Talk About Race - Ijeoma Oluo The Hate You Give - Angie Thomas Lies My Teacher Told Me - James W. Loewen A white women profiting off of the suffering of Black people is just wrong. Check your privilege.

Complete garbage. Dumpster fire material.. This book is itself the purest form of racist garbage collected together yet, written to create white guilt and to try and shame people into apologizing for the actions of generations long dead to attempt to create false pity. This book was written by a racist, and is a liberal brainwashing tool. This book was written by an author who only used skewed data and highly inaccurate and questionable sources for their information. Anybody who promotes this is garbage dumpster fire is a racist bigot. As a POC (person of Color) AKA a PROUD BLACK SKINNED CONSERVATIVE MAN, I can confidently say that this is racist, and is promoting lack of responsibility in black folks to stand up the REAL OPPRESSORS, WHITE and BLACK DEMOCRATS and liberals who pander to us constantly. Save your money for your retirement and for the next democrat backed hike in your taxes. God bless AMERICA and Donald Trump!

A book on how to be a rascist. This book is disgusting at its core and should be pulled from all platforms. This woman is a fraud and a racist. To think that this will/is a part of our youth’s curriculum should be of concern to EVERYONE. Telling any child that they are racist based on being born with a specific color skin is repugnant. Knowledge is power and everyone needs to know that this woman is an absolute disgrace to society. We have all been working on ending racism and this woman is promoting it.

Wow. Do people actually by into this garbage? And this is coming from a minority. Stop letting white liberals like the writer of this book that you are any less of a person because of skin color. You have the same exact opportunities as any one else. You have a dream? Then work hard for it like everyone else and don’t let toxic people like this author tell you otherwise. Racism exists in not only white, but black and brown as well. And this is a small minority compared to the rest of the good hearted folk in this world. I can’t count the racist ppl I’ve run into with half the fingers of one hand. Please, stop belittling minorities like myself. I have the same opportunities as anyone else.

Horrendous. This book is absolutely disgusting. No one and I mean NO ONE should ever be made to feel ashamed for who they are, how they were born etc. I can not even believe this trash is allowed on apple. & I can’t believe this leftist brainwashed moron is able to capitalize on such HATE!

Laurareads

Very helpful. This book has opened up my eyes to so many aspects of my life and surroundings. It has also helped me to have hard conversations with friends and family regarding race and BLM - so helpful given the current state of the nation.

Maverick9xx

Shockingly and appallingly racist.. In a nutshell: White people can never, under any circumstance, object to being slandered lest they be deemed “fragile." This is simply laying the rhetoical and ideological foundations for expropriation of wealth and institutionalized racism of a new kind. Do not let them take you to the ideological Gulag. Think for yourself.

HudsonHawk77

Utter rubbish. This book is racist. Because it’s written by a racist. Who is claiming to be a racist in this very book. Utter trash, riddled with contradictions and paradoxes, like the one stayed above.

If you want to become a white supremacist buy this book!!. I mean this in the most literal sense possible, this is a handbook to modern white supremacy, this book is creating racists, and I don’t mean anti white racism, or reverse racism, I mean old school white racial superiority. Don’t believe me? Let’s just look at the facts: the author is an admitted racist, she states this openly, without shame and tells us that all white people are racist, and need to accept this and have a racial awakening. White racial awakening, gee that sounds very similar to what white supremacists want, in fact it’s identical to what bro nazis say. The author says society is basically a monument to white supremacy, and every institution, every system within it is designed to perpetuate white supremacy, and it ensures this by rewarding racial features of the white race ensuring whites succeed... one small problem with this, in order for this to be true you must believe that a number of things that society values, and help you succeed, suddenly have to be things only white people are capable of, they must be racial traits of the white race, and the author enthusiastically agrees with this, this has been elaborated on many times but just a few examples of what this book and the entire social justice “anti racist” ideology believe to be features exclusive to the white race are hard work, respect for authority, stable nuclear family, valuing intelligence, understanding the concept of cause and effect, individualism... these are American values because they are human values. Any nation on earth that values them will see success for its people, to say they are white traits is racist af towards nonwhites. Reject this book and it’s teachings, do not be misled by liars trying to deceive you into hate.

A sad perspective. It is sad to see this rhetoric pushed as a young person of color. There are people who are racist in the world. Growing up In the south I have experienced it before. However, what I have learned is that I can’t let that dictate my life. I also can’t assume what is in someone’s heart based on a single bad experience. Is it more likely that someone I have never met is racist and hates me for the color of my skin or is it the case that someone had a bad day and said something rude. The more I began to think this way the more I began to realize that I had been jumping to conclusions. People could say anything I didn’t like or agree with and I would leap giant steps to paint them as having hate in their heart. I began to realize that the majority of the time nothing about race was ever even mentioned. That wasn’t how I wanted to live my life so I stopped jumping to the conclusion of being a victim. As a core value, racism is not the true issue, it is hate. I have seen so much hate from every group of people. White on white, black on black, white on black. The one I have seen most however is black people resenting white people. The number of times I have seen people of color judge and say racist things towards my mother, a white woman who married a black man, far outweigh the racist tones or undertones that “oppressive white people,” are said to expressively hold. If you are a white person who is not racist, don’t let this book tell you that you are. Always be ready and able to empathize with others. This is something we all need to work on as humans. However, don’t hold yourself responsible or blame yourself for the sins your ancestors committed. It is time to stop separating ourselves as opposing groups that are either perpetrators or enslaved, think of each other as fellow humans.

Trash. This is nothing but hatred and divisive.

Joke. Sad.

John 14

Total waste of time. Utterly worthless, just another part of the ‘woke’ culture trying to use racism for their own ends. I would rate this vile heap of trash lower if I could

Hailsruth

This book is racist trash.. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time reading this book. Robin DiAngelo is nothing but a race baiter, using the black community as a pawn to make money.

Left wing indoctrination. Garbage

The Best. This book has brought great attention to what white people can do to disrupt the racism that is embedded in american everyday activities. The one star reviews shows how accurate this book is.
