UPDATE

Here's an edited version!

At this NYC Ed. Council meeting, member Robin Broshi (@EastSideGadfly) criticizes her white colleague for having his friend’s non-white nephew on his lap.

Claiming this “racist” act “hurts people” and “makes them cry,” Broshi tells him to read Robin Diangelo’s White Fragility. https://t.co/cBBY4juK77 pic.twitter.com/eEbBNxEmLG

From our friend Tim Andrews, now resident in the United States:

If you wish to feel deep, soul crushing despair, please watch these two minutes from a recent NYC Community Education Council Meeting.

Short version: Screaming about how a white member had a brown baby on his lap was hurtful and racist and he needs to “read a book, read white fragility”

But do watch, as no explanation can adequately do this justice.

It's cued to the spot - two minutes will do you!
