black fragility
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Coined in response to the concept of white fragility.
Senses: examples: text: Black fragility is the quality of being easily damaged or broken—due to a long history of external social pressures. The type of fragility just mentioned is not referring to any inherent weakness in the make-up of Black people because our history tells a very different story.
ref: 2021, Jimi Calhoun, Funknology: A Synthesis of Art, Science, and Being (page 12)
text: Black Fragility Infantilizes Blacks | There is an assumption of Black fragility in the anti-racism arguments. Blacks are treated as so weak that they cannot be disagreed with, criticized, or asked anything, lest they be irreparably harmed.
ref: 2022, Rosalie Pedalino Porter, America Challenged: The New Politics of Race, Education, and Culture (page 72)
text: I have not felt empathy for cosmetic disputes like the use of the word "owner" for NBA owners. […] The term "owner" is a legal term. It is devoid of race unless one is driven to see race in everything in life. […] Many of these micro-calamities are rooted in Black Fragility, an inability to see beyond slaveholding. I see Black Fragility as the greatest threat to a healthy black culture and consciousness.
