A no-holds-barred guidebook aimed at white women who want to stop being nice and start dismantling white supremacy from the team behind Race2Dinner and the documentary film, Deconstructing Karen

It's no secret that white women are conditioned to be "nice," but did you know that the desire to be perfect and to avoid conflict at all costs are characteristics of white supremacy culture?

As the founders of Race2Dinner, an organization which facilitates conversations between white women about racism and white supremacy, Regina Jackson and Saira Rao have noticed white women's tendency to maintain a veneer of niceness, and strive for perfection, even at the expense of anti-racism work.

In this book, Jackson and Rao pose these urgent questions: how has being "nice" helped Black women, Indigenous women and other women of color? How has being "nice" helped you in your quest to end sexism? Has being "nice" earned you economic parity with white men? Beginning with freeing white women from this oppressive need to be nice, they deconstruct and analyze nine aspects of traditional white woman behavior--from tone-policing to weaponizing tears--that uphold white supremacy society, and hurt all of us who are trying to live a freer, more equitable life.

White Women is a call to action to those of you who are looking to take the next steps in dismantling white supremacy. Your white supremacy. If you are in fact doing real anti-racism work, you will find few reasons to be nice, as other white people want to limit your membership in the club. If you are not ticking white people off on a regular basis, you are not doing it right. Geschlechterforschung Rassismus & Diskriminierung Sozialwissenschaften

The more this triggers the more important it is to consider and reflect on why.

This is not just a book about white women, it’s a guide to understanding how deeply racism is rooted in every aspect of our society. In me.

My favourite thing about this book is the honesty in the presentation.

It was not new to me that I was socialised to be racist, but the nuances in this audiobook taught me that I knew not even the half of it. I recommend this book to you if you want to do better, but also for your own sake. The hard truth comes with a lot of healing of wounds you didn’t even know you’ve had.

Hits hard, but in the right spots
