As many people this past year did. I finally picked up and read "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo. Normally I would write a blog about my feelings on the book but in this case I don't feel that it's really appropriate or my place to commentate on how to be anti-racist. So I've included a few links of book reviews critiquing DiAngelo's work. One of which also suggests skipping "White Fragility" and instead reading "Wretched of the Earth" by Frantz Fanon
