Is it just me or is 'male fragility' starting to be used as a way to erase legitimate concerns from men?

Your argument is that epigenetics and psychology can explain white fragility.

I understand that to mean that as a white person racism is in my very genetic code.

As apparent the traits of eye color and skin color and height and weight are on a person, members of the white race contain a racism marker in their makeup.

This trait is (or was) apparent to everyone on the planet except for members of the white race. We carry the genetic marker, but we are unaware of it's negative effects on the world.

When the subject of racism is broached, white people become apprehensive, defensive, maybe even hostile. Our 'white fragility' is on display. We will go to great lengths to disguise our biological racism by any means neccessary.

Listen, I will gladly read any literature or academic study that concludes science has discovered the genetics of racism.

My wife has a copy of White Fragility sitting on her nightstand so I will also gladly follow along with anything you want to throw at me from that text. I will give it my best shot at comprehending.

Because at this point in time, the concept of white fragility sounds a lot like something one might read in a white supremacy manifesto.

It's an ideology masquerading as science.
