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.’

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 is one of the reasons that black privilege now exists in American culture.

I have seen that Mark Dice has exposed the reasons for black fragility in one of his YouTube videos. Doing so with precise and in depth reporting from "just a guy in his kitchen with a laptop".

Black Mesa Research Facility 

A badass research facility located in New Mexico. After a cataclysmic disaster in Sector C, Gordon Freeman is left to fight off retarded zombie alien things and other creatures. The Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) is sent in to kill anything and everything remaining, while the Black Ops are sent in to arm a nuclear device. This event leads to the Seven Hour War, which destroys most of the world's population, and leads to the events in Half-Life 2.
The Black Mesa Research Facility is boring. Fuck I guess I'll go work for Aperture Science.
