DiAngelo provided the keynote address to OSU\u2019s 22<sup>nd<\/sup> Annual President and Provost\u2019s Diversity Lecture &amp; Cultural Arts Series. Her speech was delivered over Zoom and was free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The Federalist exclusively obtained the contract OSU signed to have DiAngelo speak, and university spokesman Benjamin Johnson told the outlet that DiAngelo was the only speaker at the event. The contract outlined two \u201cprimary frameworks\u201d that would be used in DiAngelo\u2019s keynote. As the Federalist described:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"29\">\n<p><em>Her first framework, titled \u201cSeeing the Racial Water,\u201d is characterized as DiAngelo\u2019s way to \u201cexplain what makes racism so hard for White people to see, and identify common White racial patterns that prevent us from moving towards greater racial equity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWeaving information, analysis, stories, images, and familiar examples, she provides the framework needed to develop white racial literacy,\u201d the framework states. \u201cAlthough the focus is on white racial identity development, people of color may also find the analysis valuable as it is one that is rarely affirmed or provided in mainstream society.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Framework two, \u201cWhite Fragility,\u201d centers on her notion that whites \u201cmaintain control\u201d over society and live in insulated environments that make them lack a \u201cracial stamina.\u201d The author says white people claim to be \u201cmisunderstood\u201d and when racially threatened try to \u201creinstate white racial equilibrium and maintain control\u201d of society.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>National Association of Scholars president Peter Wood explained to the Federalist that DiAngelo\u2019s books may receive praise from academics, but they are not of academic value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer three books on the topic are fatuous and rather silly diatribes, but they have made her famous and, it seems, wealthy,\u201d Wood told the outlet. \u201cDiAngelo\u2019s words to the students of Ohio State are guaranteed as worthless and a waste of public resources. Her $12,000 speaker fee at OSU is, in effect, a tribute paid by the taxpayers of Ohio to a race-hustling propagandist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/robin-diangelo-book-bombs-but-makes-nyt-list\">reported<\/a> in July, DiAngelo\u2019s third book, \u201cNice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm,\u201d made the New York Times best sellers list even though it sold just 3,500 copies its first week. It sold fewer copies than a book from The Daily Wire\u2019s Michael Knowles, though his book predictably didn\u2019t make the Times\u2019 list.<\/p>\n<p>Journalist Matt Taibbi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/journalist-matt-taibbi-scorches-anti-racism-author-robin-diangelos-new-book-unreadable-and-morally-disgusting\">scorched<\/a> the new book, calling it \u201cunreadable and morally disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of trying to amp down her racial anxiety out of basic decency, this author fed hers steroids and protein shakes, growing it to brontosaurus size before dressing it in neon diapers and parading it across America for years in a juggernaut of cringe that\u2019s already secured a place as one of the great carnival grifts of all time. Nice Racism, the rare book that\u2019s unreadable and morally disgusting but somehow also important, is the latest stop on the tour,\u201d Taibbi wrote.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
