Black Fragility

Black Fragility is the social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, mental & physical inadequacy of (some) Black people. This fragility is a byproduct of their environments & upbringings.

Displays of Black fragility are but not limited to 1. when Black people get triggered when their ways are called out, 2. when they’re asked to meet certain standards, 3.when their distorted sense of reality is challenged.
Black fragility can also look like, a Black person always bringing up the topic of the Transatlantic Slave Trade & “white supremacy” as excuses, as to why are the way they are.

A Black person living in perpetual victim hood & wants to be coddled by society.

False bravado etc… nothing that some therapy can’t fix.

Example of Black fragility & False bravado:

“ I’m a king.” yet is unemployed & still lives in his mother’s basement.

“Black have the best bodies.”

Though subjective, is reflective of low intellect… adding such value on something as trivial & fleeting as looks/the flesh.

Black fragility

Displays of Black fragility are but not limited to 1. having a hard time dealing with the truth behind most Black stereotypes.

2. Distorted sense of reality.

3. The delusion of Black “supremacy”.

4. Calling foul(racism) when things don’t go their way.

5. Not contributing to a project/s but expecting equal stakes, reminds me of the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’.

6. Easily triggered when faced with facts, or called out on their ways …

7. Wanting to be held to “lower”standards

8. Holding themselves & other groups of people to double standards.

Examples of Black fragily & the distorted sense of reality:

“Black men are kings/ Black women are queens”
“Black people can’t be racist.”

Examples of Black fragility & the double standards:
‘Causing harm, using derogatory terms to address people but having a hard time being on the receiving end.’
