During
this challenge, I feel like enough ideas were discussed that I could get over
some white fragility that cropped up. I mean, before all this I heard of the
book “white fragility” and I had no interest in ever picking it up because it
seemed like it would be a book all about white weakness, like a giant attack,
and who signs up for that? But I understand the term now, and I can put my sensitivity
aside and not take conversations about race so personally. I feel like, moving
forward, I can understand that my role is to listen and empathize, and change where
I can. I understand that I shouldn’t feel disadvantaged by equality, which I
think I’ve felt before.
