Description
We've all seen it. A white person is called to account for racism and responds with incredulity, offering a litany of justifications and excuses, insisting that they cannot be racist. Their friends will vouch that the behavior cannot be racist because "He's a really nice person." Many white people do not understand systemic racism and cannot separate intentions from impact. In this insightful follow-up to acclaimed bestseller White Fragility, DiAngelo illuminates the subtle and insidious racial patterns of progressive white people, revealing how a culture of niceness actually protects racism. Writing directly to white people as a white person, DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and explains how white people who see themselves as racially progressive can cause the most daily harm to people of color. She challenges the ideology of individualism and explains why it is appropriate to generalize about white people in order to challenge racism, and demonstrates how white people who experience other oppressions still benefit from systemic racism. Writing candidly about her own missteps and struggles, and drawing on her insider's perspective, DiAngelo models a path forward, encouraging white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage, lifelong commitment, and accountability. Nice Racism is an essential work for any white person who recognizes the existence of systemic racism and white supremacy and wants to take steps to align their values with their actual practice--From dust jacket.
