The Myth of White Fragility: A Field Guide to Identifying and Overcoming the Race Grifters

Product Information

The subject of the new Netflix series Inventing Anna, Sorokin, a Russian immigrant to Germany, fooled many into believing she was a European heiress. She came into prominence when New York Magazine published an article about her high-society life, which spurred on more publications to do their own pieces on the grifter. Anna is currently in prison at Rikers Island for fraud charges. Anthony Gignac Your assertion that this makes non-whites inherently better human beings (by virtue of their race alone) is the other conclusion that is commonly accepted by the same ideologues. This is exactly why the old virtues of individualism and egalitarianism are rejected now in favor identity politics and the pursuit of “equity”. Not content with being a disgraced criminal, Fiona Onasanya has now turned her hand to race grifting in a sleazy pursuit of relevance. You’d think, wouldn’t you, that having been caught flagrantly breaking the law and having been sent to gaol, she would slink away and hide herself from sight – at least for a decent period of time, but no, shame is not a word that she understands. Progressives insist on the racial lens because of the disproportionate outcomes that are still caused by systemic racism. With reference to your letter regarding the images on our cereal products. I refer you to the reply given in Arkell v Pressdram (1972).

More than a century ago Booker T. Washington exposed a similar sharp practice. “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public,” he wrote. “Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” But fair play to them, theirs was not a world of anti-discrimination laws, hate-crime legislation, quota systems enabled to produce an equality of outcome in which minority status increasingly trumps merit. “When people get used to preferential treatment,” says Dr Thomas Sowell, “equal treatment seems like discrimination.”

WHERE? Where is this true? Pakistan? Saudi Arabia? Nigeria? The banlieues of Paris? China? Detroit? You have gone too far and it is now time for you to pay the price. You are a filfthy ugly troublemaking n*****. You look like a gorilla and probably smell just like one. What is that thing on your head, it looks like a turd, a big lump of s***. We are looking forward to seeing your blood spill. If you need money to pay the rent and fear eviction, consider other options before taking a payday loan. It’s worth asking your landlord for an extension rather than resorting to a payday loan that will leave you in much worse shape soon after your bill has been paid. The letter, from “National Action London”, read: “Shola you are a constant troublemaker and liar who appears on television frequently. You make a shabby living from criticising and race grifting against ethnic white europeans and our country. We have placed you on our kill list and intent to kill you, your children and your husband. This in a serious notice from National Action London, We are notifying you of our intention to kill you and your family. We do not consider this to be murder, you are all filthy parasitic monkeys; We have guns and knives; We are watching your house. We will be following you as you walk around your area.

Second, DiAngelo argues that any white person who is reluctant to accept their inescapable racism is wrong, and that their “white fragility” blinds them to their own racism. In DiAngelo’s own words, because white people are, “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.” This fragility purportedly explains why, “people who identify as white are so difficult in conversations regarding race.”

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? In other words; it's pointless to disagree, criticize and react negatively to this. Either you agree or you're a racist and if you're non white and disagree - and there's TONS of them out there who do - you're something equivalently bad and evil. Then, as now, there was nothing to say when confronted with these attitudes. I understood that a sense of belonging was central to the view of young people born into a country in which they remained the alien immigrant. This changed following the riots in Brixton, St Paul’s and Toxteth and elsewhere at the beginning of the 1980s. America is not a meritocracy because if it were, that would make the inferior outcomes for POC in education, employment, housing, wealth, incarceration, healthcare, and life expectancy irrefutable proof positive that Whites must be inherently superior. This industry is a lucrative career move for countless whites as well. It makes many a verbose academic believe they have a book in them, and bestows on those defined by pedigree, status, class, for whom minorities are a relatively recent find — a novelty even — an objective to educate the rest of us. That is, those of us for whom this is an old and familiar topic. We covered this decades ago, because of where we lived; because of who we lived among; because we had to.

All the big grafters—or more properly speaking, ‘grifters’—were at work in the side show, where the ‘easy marks’ throng.” The emphasis was no longer on assimilation, but on the natives accommodating the cultures of new settlers

Payday loans have gone under recent regulation and sometimes prohibition by certain states in recent years. In addition to the District of Columbia, here are the states that have prohibited or heavily regulated payday loans: In a letter to the lawyer, the group accused her of making shabby living from criticising and race grifting against ethnic white Europeans and culture. National Action’s online propaganda material, disseminated via social media, frequently features extremely violent imagery and language. It condones and glorifies those who have used extreme violence for political or ideological ends."

I stopped talking to con artists I was writing about, about halfway through the research process, because I realized that the same thing was happening to me. When I actually spoke with them and met them, I was no longer objective because they’re so good, so charismatic—you really start identifying with them and thinking, ‘Oh, they’re really not so bad.’”This is great. One slight bone of contention I have is the use of the phrase, ‘Kafkatrap.’ In my mind it is actually a double bind. The concept can be found in Gregory Bateson’s ‘Steps to an ecology of mind,’ in which he outlines this process going on in families where one person has a mental illness, usually schizophrenia. There must be a primary negative injunction –‘If you do not do X, I will punish you.’ : “If, as a white person, you do not admit your racism, I will say that you are racist.” The idea of “meritocracy” allows Whites to believe in their own inherent superiority because of the disproportionate outcomes by race in a “fair system” where the smartest and hardest working people will rise to the top. What ultimately makes White Fragility so manipulative is the way it exploits the good intentions of its readers. White people read the book because they care about fighting racism and being allies to people of color. They are ready to listen to a purported expert like DiAngelo. But instead of providing genuine expertise, DiAngelo uses Kafkatraps and fallacies to convince white people they are ignorant, racist and fragile. Then she travels the country, charging thousands of dollars an hour to cure white people of the ailment she diagnosed them with. It’s a con as old as time. Racism By Any Other Name Narcissism—This is defined as selfishness with a sense of entitlement. A narcissist has an exceedingly high opinion of themself.
