Case Study: White fragility; white privilege; whiteness. These are terms that have garnered a lot of attention, especially since the summer of 2020. Think of when we hear the term "invisible knapsack" carried by white people in American organizations. Whatever we are to think about the notion of questioning white privilege, it is important to understand what is meant by these terms. Too often in today's society, people are quick to critique ideas that they really do not understand.

Questions:

• What do you think about Robin DiAngelo's notion of "White Fragility?"
• What do you think about the critique offered by John McWhorter?
• Do you believe the race/ethnicity of these individuals is relevant to their arguments?
• Finally, should organizations engage in the process of "interrogating whiteness?"
