We will ask questions about white fragility to help us see what&#8217;s behind the idea. Topics Include: What is white fragility? What spurs it on? What cultural ideas ignite white fragility in white people? Are they ideas worth being challenged and cast aside? What are the presuppositions behind white fragility? Is teaching white people to over come white fragility a good or bad thing? Does overcoming it, as we are instructed in Be The Bridge 101, actually bring unity to God&#8217;s people? White fragility and real racism How do we as Christians REALLY become humble and fight ethnic hatred and false bias? May this episode bless you and bring glory to God!
