Good article on how completely blinkered Robin DiAngelo is. I have a point of disagreement though. She isn't well meaning, she's a scam artist (thread) theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
In her diagnosis every company is incurably racist and the only fix is to pay her and her ilk big bucks to manage the problem in perpetuity. If that isn't a white person exploiting the problems of racism for their own self-enrichment I don't know what is
Not that Corporate America is purely an innocent victim here. She's brought in so companies can get their gold star claiming they're doing something about race and not have to do anything else theatlantic.com/international/…
Even worse, it seems likely that the sheer unpleasantness of her seminars is the point. Corporate overlords are making 'diversity training' as unpleasant as possible to punish those who asked for it and keep anybody from asking for more
People shouldn't have to put up with this. If you're subjected to these things and feel they result in a hostile environment (likely given that DiAngelo brags about making people cry) you should complain to HR that they're inappropriate nytimes.com/2020/07/10/opi…
Screaming 'Anyone who has a problem with me is racist' constantly doesn't make it true. These people are not the solution to racism, they're part of the problem, and they should be stopped.
