black fragility

noun

Discomfort and defensiveness on the part of some Black people who live in a predominantly White Culture due to fixating on long since past injustices which they never experienced (and weren't experienced by anyone in their family alive today) causing them to imagine racism where none exists, and pine away for living in a culture that is predominantly Black instead.
Black fragility has caused black privilege that now exists in modern America.

White Fragility Card

The white fragility card is a white people angry, gaslighting scapegoat card often pulled by fragile & overly emotional Karen's and Kyles that have white privilege to white wash and try to desperately control the narrative but they can't. White Fragility card can be pulled by white people when they are in a state of experiencing minimum amount of racial stress and somehow it becomes intolerable to them, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include trying to shame people often black people for racially and ethnically celebrating their culture and ancestry.

the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium. This term was often used by Tick Tock and Instagram users in order to properly label white people that get offended by people bringing up race related issues.
Example; have you noticed that when black people talk about cultural things black people love to experience you always have that one annoying white person that loves to pull their white fragility card and say "here you go with the race card".

Example: people bring up statistics about white people usually being the Mass shooters/domestic terrorist and then there's that one white person that says," why do you have to bring race into it".

Example: black people celebrating the success of their ancestors and fellow black people across the African diaspora and then there's that one irritated white person that has to butt in and say, " why'd you have to bring race into it?".
