À propos de cet audio
Whiteness has always projected confidence—an identity that claims authority, entitlement, and moral certainty. But beneath the surface of that projection lives something more vulnerable: a deep, persistent insecurity. An identity built not on biology or culture, but on comparison, requires constant reinforcement. And anything that requires constant reinforcement is fragile.
Fragile white identity is not about individuals being sensitive. It is about a system that depends on emotional volatility to keep itself alive. Because if whiteness is an invention, then its survival hinges on how fiercely people defend it.
This episode is about that defense—how it was made, how it shapes behavior, and why it continues to produce fear, backlash, and violence across American history.
