‘White Fragility’ Author Robin DiAngelo Says People Of Color Need To ‘Get Away From White People’
Author of “White Fragility” and self-described “antiracist” Robin DiAngelo was recently participating in a webinar panel titled “Racial Justice: The Next Frontier” when she recommended that black people should “get away from white people.”
“I’m a big believer in affinity space and affinity work, and I think people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other.”

During the conversation, DiAngelo also suggested that workplaces should make conversations surrounding antiracist techniques and practices a “basic qualification” for employees. She also complained about employees who don’t support diversity initiatives at work, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
“What I want to do is create a culture that actually spits out those who are resistant,” DiAngelo said to the panel.
Her idea of positive race relations in America would require bringing back the horrific idea of segregation – a concept that used to be widely condemned but is now encouraged for specific minority groups. Segregated student housing units have popped up across the country, as “black-only” spaces become increasingly popular. Some colleges have even created race-segregated graduation ceremonies, and workplaces around the country have implemented antiracist training that centers around denouncing whiteness.
DiAngelo’s statement is inexcusable and segregation is not the solution. It never was, and never will be. Because she was saying that black people should “stay away” from white people, progressive American culture takes no issue with her claim. Recently, Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert comics, made an almost identical statement, for which he was totally cut off from everyone in his career field. Adams’ comics were canceled, his publisher immediately cut ties with him, and he faced intense media backlash for weeks.
“Polling shows that Americans view race relations in the United States in an increasingly negative light, most noting a sharp decline after 2020.”

The U.S. is hyper-focused on race, and it has done nothing to improve the lives of minorities. Instead it creates a victim mentality among those in the community. Using “antiracist” techniques like affirmative action, and occupational and academic diversity quotas, we have created a system of inequality because of our senseless fixation on equity.
