A city-run cultural program in Seattle is offering residents classes on "white fragility" to white folks understand why they can't seem to handle matters involving race, and tickets have sold out.
Lecturer Robin DiAngelo, who coined the term, is teaching the taxpayer-funded class for the city Officeof Arts and Culture. She defines white fragility as "a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves."
Critics say it is just the latest attempt at spreading white guilt, following in the footsteps of concepts such as "white privilege."
"By the way, DiAngelo is white," noted Todd Herman, of MyNorthwest.com. "But she doesn’t have any bias or fragility. And we’re going to pay her a bunch of money to teach a class on white fragility!"
The Office of Arts and Culture, which has a budget of $8.3 million, is holding two 4-hour classes, Aug. 17 and Sept. 7. Tickets are $60 and both lectures are sold out. Erika Lindsay, a city spokesperson, says staffers have been working on the event, but she could not pinpoint how much taxpayers are shelling out for the program.
“A primary role of our office is to provide programs and resources to help the arts and culture sector flourish and many arts and cultural organizations see the ability to become more inclusive as a major step towards their ability to thrive,†she said.
DiAngelo, who is white, has made a career out of studying whiteness. She earned her doctorate in Multicultural Education from the University of Washington in 2004. Ten years later she became a tenured professor in whiteness studies at Westfield State University. Now she is back in Seattle working as a lecturer at the University of Washington. She’s also director of equity for Sound Generations, Seattle/King County and was recently appointed to co-design Seattle’s Race and Social Justice Anti-Racism Training program.
Seattle is not alone in spending tax dollars on educating white people about their purported fragility. Portland Community College held a series of lectures in April under the heading: "Whiteness History Month Project."
Melinda Bullen, Diversity Rresource Center coordinator at Mt. Hood Community College, lectured on "white fragility." Bullen, who is white, told attendees, “because of their position of privilege and accustomed racial comfort, whites will often display racial arrogance by denying, debating, trivializing racism or critical thought regarding racial conflict.â€
Bullen also says white people need to be much harder on themselves. “Seeing yourself as well-meaning," she said, “removes responsibility for your actions…good intentions are one of the great hindrances to honest conversations about race.â€

You just need a catchy phrase. They've got "White privilege" and White fragility". How about "White flaccidity"? A class on helping white men understand that erectile dysfunction could be the result of suppressed guilt over their white privilege.

I'm pleased to announce the mandatory "x white fragility" training seminar. As the only black man on here, I have been chosen to teach the class.
It will be provided either via email or at an x gate. I will be doing this seminar at a fraction of the cost of the one in the story. For only 49.95, I will train you on what you can and can't think, in the Live training seminar. Or, via email and save your time for tailgating. Email version is only 49.95.
I accept cash. Space is limited. Be ready, and send money asap if you would like to continue posting on here.

Seems this would be cause for joy for some on this board. How many times have "African-American Studies" and "Black History Month" been attacked/ridiculed with the fallacious argument of "why in the hayull cain't there be a white history month? Hyuck hyuck?"
Well, here you go. Sign up.

Wellllllll....not exactly a positive thing. From the PCC website.
Whiteness History Month: Context, Consequences and Change is a multidisciplinary, district-wide, educational project examining race and racism through an exploration of the construction of whiteness, its origins and heritage. Scheduled for the month of April 2016, the project seeks to inspire innovative and practical solutions to community issues and social problems that stem from racism.
What is Whiteness History Month?
​Description of Project
Whiteness History Month Project, unlike heritage months, is not a celebratory endeavor. It is an effort to change our campus climate. The Project seeks to challenge the master narrative of race and racism through an exploration of the social construction of whiteness. Challenging the master narrative of traditional curriculum is a strategy within higher education that promotes multicultural education and equity.
Portland Community College’s strategic plan calls for "intentional action" to "create a nationally renowned culture for diversity, equity, and inclusion."

The Dark Side with Nat X: the only ten minute show on tv. Why only ten minutes? Cuz if the man made it any shorter it'd be a commercial.

I wonder what the difference between white history and whiteness history is?
