24: Handle with Care

Paul Maxwell, Critique of White Fragility

Dr. Paul Maxwell provides a theological and psychological critique of Robin DiAngelo’s "White Fragility," arguing that she makes unauthorized psychiatric diagnoses based on race. Maxwell asserts that DiAngelo uses her academic authority to "handicap" white people epistemologically, creating a lose-lose scenario for anyone who disagrees with her. The hosts also note the high speaking fees DiAngelo commands, such as $12,000 for a keynote at the University of Kentucky.
