Looked briefly at “So You Want to Talk about Race” and yes, it is much better than “White Fragility”. There are specific things mentioned already at the beginning of the first chapter, which distinguish between racism and classism—both real problems with some overlap, but it’s driving me crazy how the woke left conflates them… as if the only problem with CEOs exploiting workers is that the CEOs are white males; as long as we make sure there are enough black, female, and nonbinary CEOs, the exploitation of workers will cease to be a moral problem; maybe white male workers unionizing against a black female CEO will be considered sexist and racist… oops, sorry I’m ranting...
My point is, the epistemic level of the first chapter (I haven’t read more yet) is way higher that the “I make money by telling people they are racist, and I have no clue why they feel so defensive” DiAngelo. Perhaps it helps that it is written by an actual black person who can provide specific examples, as opposed to a woke white activist offering platitudes.
