    And holy crap has she struck it rich.

    The Wages of Woke
    How Robin DiAngelo got rich peddling 'white fragility'
    [​IMG]
    Dr. Robin DiAngelo, the bestselling author of White Fragility, claims to believe in accountability. ​
    Yes, she has made over $2 million from her book, but it's the speaking circuit where she is really cleaning up now. A 60-90 minute keynote now runs a cool $30,000, a two-hour workshop $35,000, and a half-day event $40,000.

    She's ridden her racial slander into a multimillion-dollar empire all while preaching anti-imperialism. She owns three homes and is an international jetsetter.

    Her clients range from Amazon and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to Unilever and the YMCA. DiAngelo charges $15,000 per session—a March 2019 cost the University of Kentucky $12,000, as well as a $5-a-minute phone-call fee. Even virtual events run $175 a ticket. Her eight to ten private events a month net her at least $1.5 million annually.

    That is an absurd and disingenuous question, as you are well aware.
    Your question above proves you are.
    It was published in 2018.
    Recent events made it more relevant, obviously (to everyone but you, that is).

    I'm sorry, my universal translator is on the fritz and all I got was your laughable claim that I personally had anything to do with vote suppression. For a moldering corpse, Trump sure was lively enough stopping a motorcade and tossing MAGA hats to people crowding the sidewalk. Yesterday, I think. Did you get a coroner's report updating that, or are you just wasting electrons?

    It would also be an act of hate. There's few things as hateful as refusing to accept the full and autonomous humanity of another, and in so doing assuming the power to control that person's fate.

    So not tolerant at all, then.

    Just own it.

    I don't see how you get that out of that.

    I'm not supposed to dislike Nazis? or Klan? They're intolerant and I don't like them because they're intolerant.

    I don't' like Fundamentalist Muslims or Christians either

    And don't say "own it" Who are you, Harley Quinn?

    She may as well be wearing a pointy hat.

    Her popularity shows one of two things (or perhaps both). White Progressives really are the new White Supremacists ... or they're impossibly stupid, not seeing what's right before their eyes.

    You're either tolerant, or you're not. Take your pick.

    When I say "y'all" or "you" or anything like that it's like "you Republicans" just like I use the Royal "I" to refer to me and liberals.

    Fer Crissake don't you guys use ANY correspondence, writing thingamabobs like that? C'mon, I've SEEN you do it.

    Trump is dead as a candidate, everybody knows that. As a person, I wish him well. He should have a long and happy life after he serves his prison term

    She was wealthy to start with. Only those enjoying perfect safety indulge these kinds of literary/artistic vanities. That she's torqued that 'fee for absolution' Old Church Confessional money-spinner into something far beyond the reach of the average working class white person, is emblematic of both the historical awfulness of the bourgeoisie, and the increasingly religious nature of Progressivism.

    We use correspondence right there, so I'm the first to tell you it was the royal "we" and not "I" in English courts, just as I assure you that not all conservatives are Republican. That's two missteps on your part.

    Mueller failed. Schiff failed. Every trick the Democrats tried to get Trump failed. But hope springs eternal in the zealot heart, eh? If Trump's candidacy is dead, what does that make Biden's? Cremated?

    By funding international abortions.

    EVERYTHING IS RACIST: Taxpayers Not Funding Abortion Overseas Is ‘Racism,’ Now?

    You might be wondering why the US Taxpayer is obligated to kill black and brown babies throughout the world.

    Wrong answer! I repeat: How do we get rid of systemic racism in the USA?

    You are assuming rather than making your point.

    You have failed to demonstrate your proposition. Start with defining your terms.

    Practice social distancing. Wear a mask when out in public. Wash your hands frequently.
    Take care and stay safe. Have a nice day. Bye.

    Do you know what topic you are posting on, because you aren't on topic, at all. Does it bother you that you don't understand your point well enough to defend it?

    Tear down the system and build a new one which can function without the characteristics of whiteness like objectivity, logical thinking, deferment of gratification and punctuality.

    I can't imagine what such a system would look like, though.

    White Fragility has expanded beyond white-white to anyone who is not black-black.
