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.

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.

White Fragility
Some bill-sh made up terminology/concept that narrates the reasons why an individual refuses to have a conversation about sensitive topics usually pertaining to race. Completely ignoring the very valid reason a person might choose not to bring up race in a conversation as they may actually have no bias at all so the thought of “what race is the person I’m talking too” never even crossed their mind.
Normal person 1: *walks past two people sitting on a bench*
Jerk Person 1: “Hey did you see that asian girl earlier?”
Normal Person 2: “You mean the young lady with sunglasses and a red dress…”
Jerk Person 1: “Yeah Asian girl. I know what you’re thinking so you can just say it.”
Normal Person 2: “Uhh actually, I have no clue what you’re talking about.”
Jerk Person 1: “Yeah you do, you just don’t want to talk about it because of your ‘white fragility.’”
Normal Person 2: “Whoa! That’s pretty racist of you. First off, no I didn’t notice nor do I care what race the person who walked by us is. Second you’re assuming I’m Caucasian because my skin is light colored. Not everyone who has light skin is Caucasian and not every Caucasian person is racist. I think that’s pretty ignorant of you to try to force that narrative on people when you don’t know them and judge them based only on what you see.”
Jerk Person 1: “Oh, I never thought of it that way.”
Normal Person 2: “Clearly.”

white fragility
The theory that whites are protected from ever hearing anything bad about white people somehow and so refusal to listen to how white people are bad is because they are fragile crybabies. According to the theory, societies like the US are very diligent in making sure whites aren't ever uncomfortable, talked negatively about, or removed from media, education, or elite positions.
Far from constantly hearing from every corner about how they are hated, oppressive, and needing to be removed and replaced in our media and society with more nonwhite people, whites are presumably completely unaware of any belief that they are bad and seldom encounter people who talk about that.

Example 1:
"Hey, I saw you opted out of the Diversity in Management seminar."
"Yeah, I need to get this project out and I'm really busy. Plus I already read the email summary and did the quiz."
"Figures you'd be really disgusting about it. I'm not even fucking shocked you have so much white fragility."
Example 2:
"Did you see X on the news last night? I can't believe how racist the police in this city are. It's disgusting."
"I don't watch the news."
"Fucking really? White men really are so soft. White fragility in this country is just ridiculous when you can't take half an hour every day to pay attention to POC suffering."

womp
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
