Description

In this episode, Dr. Nolte evaluates Dr. Robin DiAngelo's article "White Fragility" and considers the danger of fragility in a democracy. While some of Dr. DiAngelo's points may be useful as tools to explain discreet situations, the overall argument is fallacious, internally inconsistent, and paradigmatically false. However, the discussion of fragility is important, so Dr. Nolte discusses how unexamined assumptions make people fragile and pose a risk to democracy.
