The point is, inverting the theory of “white fragility,” that in reading the dos and don’ts of how we fragile whites all imbued with inescapable racism, what emerges is a racist conception of blacks that in effect makes for black fragility. We are to do nothing that would trigger any black folks. We’re just basically to nod and agree with any black person we speak to because our racism is pretty well insinuated in virtually anything we say and do. This is a racist conception of black peoples because it presents them as child like in their inability to interact as adults with white people. So they must be accommodated and tiptoed around as though they were fragile, sensitive cases.
Coleman Hughes says it better and more fully than my small synopsis.
