If you’ve been anywhere near Twitter over the past month, you’ve probably encountered a Karen blathering about racial power structures and the book “White Fragility” by some Karen author. The premise of the book (Spoiler: did not read it), from hearing about it from all these Karens, is that every interaction in your daily life is some sort of racial power struggle. If you’re at the grocery store and you ask the clerk where the cereal aisle is, you’re probably a cisgender heteronormative fascist who likes to assert your privilege on others or something.
And the author of “White Fragility” just can’t even. The author is also “very tired” of the struggle.
One person who is not tired of the struggle is liberal journalist Matt Taibbi. He’s been on a tear lately laughing about cancel culture, the march of the Karens, in the inherent stupidity of Black Lives Matters’ demands versus what black people actually want, the inherent racism of woke corporate culture (which sponsored and promoted this “White Fragility” book), and much more.
If you’re not familiar with Matt Taibbi, you’re about to be. He’s done a brutal takedown of this book which is sort of like the new 50 Shades of Woke Corporate Cancel Culture or something.
As a heads up if you work for any kind of big corporation you’re about to have to go through some kind of white privilege/your only a racist if your white “sensitivity” training by you HR department because they are all reading this book.
(Double Spoiler: Seriously, we did not read and can’t speak to its contents. The title of the book itself is just too dumb for us to read.)
Anyway, someone who did read it and is able to talk about it is Matt Taibbi. Here’s a clip of Taibbi taking this dumb book to the woodshed and asserting his privilege over it.
