Introduction -- Why talking about race can be so hard for White people -- Racism, supremacists, supremacy -- "Non-racist" is not a thing -- How does race shape the live of White people? -- The good/bad binary -- Why does racism always seem so Black and White? -- So what exactly is White fragility? -- What does White fragility look like in action and how does it get in the way? -- Media-analysis -- social and otherwise -- From fragility to agility.

A reimagining of the best-selling book that gives young adults the tools to ask questions, engage in dialogue, challenge their ways of thinking, and take action to create a more racially just world.

DiAngelo explores counterproductive reactions white people have when discussing racism. She shows how these reactions serve to protect their positions and maintain racial inequality. This young adult adaptation encourages youth to ask questions, participate in dialogue, and take action to create a more racially just world.
