About the Original Book:

Racism, DiAngelo writes, persists not because America’s far-right groups are gaining more supporters, but because many “woke” white people insist on their racial innocence and see no further work to be done. The author of White Fragility insists that in a society whose fabric is tainted by racist ideology, it is not enough to be progressive, or nice, or have Black friends. You can still be racist even if you are all of these things. You can be racist without intending to.

Drawing from years of research and her experiences as a racial justice educator, DiAngelo uncovers the subtle forms of racism perpetuated by people who consider themselves racially progressive and offers a framework they can use to align their actions with their values. Anyone looking to unlearn the racial bias that inadvertently colors every white person's worldview will find Nice Racism an insightful guide.
