“While it is easier to see the unfairness of currents that press againstus, it is harder to see currents that move with us and facilitate our efforts. In fact, there is an investment in not seeing these currents.”
“Witness the creation in 2019 of a new Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys, charged with recommending policies to ‘improve upon, or augment, current government programs. This bipartisan Commission, consisting of 19 members, will ‘investigate potential civil rights violations affecting black males and study the disparities they experience in education, criminal justice, health, employment, fatherhood, mentorship and violence.’ The Commission is required by law to report annually and ‘make recommendations to improve the social conditions and provide vital guidance for Congress on effective strategies to reduce the racial disparities in education, criminal justice, health and employment.'”
“To be male, poor, and either African-American or Native-American is to confront, on a daily basis, a deeply held racism that exists in every social institution. No other demographic group has fared as badly, so persistently and for so long.” — Camille Busette
“People who raise an objection to generalizing about white people may be confusing speaking about people at the group level with stereotyping. Stereotyping occurs when we take a trait demonstrated by one or a few members of a social group and project that trait onto all members of that group. Whether those stereotypes are positive or negative, it is generally understood that stereotypes have hurtful impacts and are unfair. Making statements about well-documented social patterns and outcomes such as ‘Our institutions were set up to advantage white people’ and ‘White identity is shaped by the ubiquitous messages of white superiority that circulate in the culture at large’ is not the same as stereotyping. Systemic racism is well documented throughout society and across history. To say that defensiveness is a common response from white people when Black people try to talk to us about that racism — and that our defensiveness is not conducive to meaningful change — is to state an observation, not to stereotype. One may think that defensiveness is justified, but it is still a predictable pattern that has consequences worthy of exploration.”
“One of the most consistent complaints I have received upon the publication of White Fragility is that I am generalizing about white people. While the email quoted above is obviously a cruder version of this complaint (and I assume not written by a progressive), it is merely a variation on a common theme: ‘How can you claim to know anything about me just because I am white?’ This is the ideology of individualism, which can be conceptualized as a set of ideas, words, symbols, and metaphors — a narrative — that creates, communicates, reproduces, and reinforces the concept that we are all unique and that our group memberships (such as our race, class, or gender) are not important or relevant to our opportunities. Psychologist Wendy Hollway describes narratives as an interrelated ‘system of statements which cohere around common meanings and values… [that] are a product of social factors, of powers and practices, rather than an individual’s set of ideas.’ These narratives are embedded in a matrix of previous statements, stories, and meanings — they connect to, expand, extend, and refer back to narratives already circulating in the culture. If they didn’t connect to existing narratives, we couldn’t make sense of them. Individualism is a deeply imbedded narrative in Western cultures, and it plays a particularly important role in the maintenance of white supremacy. Thus, speaking about white people as a group who have a shared experience specifically as white people is a primary trigger for a white fragility meltdown on a number of levels.”
