Dr. Robin DiAngelo, a lecturer at the University of Washington, coined the term 'White Fragility' in an essay of the same name published in 2011. In this episode she and Eric talk about the turn of events that led her to write about white fragility, what set of behaviors it describes, what role those behaviors play in perpetuation white supremacy in the United States, and how owning our racism is an act of liberation, among other things.
