White fragility

This book is not a comfortable read/listen, but absolutely do NOT let that put you off it. I took a lot of notes as I listened, including things I still need to accept/internalize, different perspectives on things I already thought I knew, and white lady feels that I need to work on in order to move forward.

DiAngelo is great at sharing her own experiences and mistakes, sharing how the work is never done even if you spend your life working at it, and providing ideas for next steps for digging out racism in one's own life in order to move forward with the work. She also provides lots of uncomfortably familiar examples of how white people avoid talking about race, code conversations about race, or center ourselves in conversations in ways that prevent others from moving the subject forward. Even how we convince ourselves we've learned everything we need to know about race! Which is frustrating for this reader, because I'm always learning about all sorts of things, and I'm so thankful that the learning is never done!

The audio was excellent. Highly, highly recommend.
