Darnella Frazier 

The young woman whose eyewitness video of the George Floyd killing by former police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, became a crucial artifact of American history. She was awarded an honorary Pulitzer Prize on June 11, 2021.

Only 17 at the time, Darnella Frazier is to the Floyd killing what Abraham Zapruder was to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, an accidental bystander with a camera, a vital witness to an historic moment. Ms. Frazier's video of the arrest, which recorded Floyd's plea - I can't breathe - as Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes, sparked protests across the country. A witness at Chauvin's murder trial, Ms. Frazier expressed regret for not physically confronting Mr. Chauvin. “It’s been nights I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life,” Ms. Frazier said.
Darnella Frazier, who was 17 when she recorded George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis last year, was awarded a special citation by the Pulitzer Board. Her video played a major role in igniting a global protest movement against police violence, and was used as evidence in the trial of Floyd's killer.

Pulitzer officials who give out the prestigious prize in journalism and the arts said Frazier's recording highlighted "the crucial role of citizens in journalists' quests for truth and justice."

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.’

white fragility 

(Derogatory) The belief that all white people are inherently evil, racist, monstrous, and inclined to genocide, and therefore they can't suck it up.

Believers in this idea don't stop to think that people are sick of this stereotype and that talking about race makes them uncomfortable despite being against racism. It has also contributed to ethnic tensions within society.
People can't think critically and shut up about white fragility.
