[[This is Isaiah Hineās high school presentation on white fragility. Youāre not going to get a simpler explanation, in my opinion, so if youāre white you should really read this. Below are Isaiahās notes on each slide.]]
ā
What is White Fragility?
Robin DiAngelo is a professor at Westfield State University and author of What Does it Mean to Be White? Developing White Racial Literacy.
Iām sure youāve all seen these ādefensive movesā in action before. āI didnāt mean anything by itā āI wasnāt trying to be offensiveā āI have a black friendā āNot all white peopleā
People are often more worried about being called a racist than actually doing something racist. In America white people often donāt even have to consider race. They often think of themselves as āracelessā white is conditioned to be the norm and everyone else is considered āracedā or ācoloredā. White fragility allows white people to govern when and how race is discussed. White people expect to be educated on racism, and in a nice way.
ā
Why Is It A Bad Thing?
White people never learn as a result and are allowed to continue saying and doing racist things. White people prefer to hear these things from other white people but because other white people donāt know enough about racism, they cycle continues. When people of color do things like the BLACKLIVESMATTER movement, many white peoples responses were āall lives matterā this is white fragility. Proclaiming that black lives matter does not inherently mean that other lives donāt. This statement is made because society continually shows us that black lives donāt matter in america and these are the lives that need the affirming. We already know that white lives matter, it doesnāt need to be stated. White people are very used to being the center of things and when they arenāt it makes them uncomfortable.
ā
Why Does This Happen?
Most people donāt fully grasp the idea of systemic racism and that we live in a racist society that perpetuates racist ideas. We are socialized into white supremacy.](https://pics.conservativememes.com/professionalpeachhunk-this-is-isaiah-hineās-high-school-presentation-on-white-72508426.png)

[14/47] @universelawoffireMy, what a week. Highest Ups and lowest Lows - one of which was losing this page on Wednesday and having to redo it. :ā) BUT anyways, on a story related note - still some fun notes here - but weāre approaching the purple pages. Lotās of serious talking happens on the purple pages. š](https://pics.conservativememes.com/blastedking-14-47-universelawoffiremy-what-a-week-highest-ups-and-lowest-72580807.png)

Daddyās at the food store, Mummyās out of town,
Sheās working at the hospital since Rhona came to town,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhonaās come to town,
Hide away, hide away, sheās come to take us down.
Miss Rhonaās at the doorstep, Iāll keep 6 feet away,
But Grandma needs the paper, Iāll take her some today,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhonaās come to stay,
Hide away, hide away, we canāt come out to play.
But Grandma needs the paper, Iāll take her some today,
And hereās a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say,
Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away,
Hide away, hide away, she took us down today.
[Image ID: Tumblr user @neanderthyall says in the notes, āI thought that 6 feet was kind of a double meaning. Like six feet away to stop the spread, but when people die theyāre six feet underground, and its six feet of the dirt that keeps you apart. Like āHide away, hide away, even though it hurts Hide away, hide away, or the six feet will be dirtā.ā End ID.]
HI DONāT LEAVE THIS IN THE NOTES THATāS ACTUALLY BRILLIANT
Itās not a proper creepy nursery rhyme until itās got an eery childrensā game attached to it though (think ring-a-round-the-roses or oranges and lemons).
One child shall be designated āMiss (Mr, Mx) Rhonaā and will have to cover their eyes (hide away). They then have to try to catch the other kidsā think Blind Manās Bluff. The children running away chant the rhyme, to make it easier for āRhonaā to find them.
Any child tagged becomes another āRhonaā and must also cover their eyes and join in the chase. The winner is the last child left uninfected.
Meanwhile all adults in the area must watch with a vague sense of unease, and whisper to each other ādo you know what thatās inspired by?ā](https://pics.conservativememes.com/cheeseanonioncrisps-roseverdict-roseverdict-jus-tea-daddyās-at-the-food-store-mummyās-72345685.png)
