"White fragility" appears to legitimately be a shit book, and not just one with a very shit title, according to a lot more self-described leftists than just Taibbi. This is a bizarre and unconvincing argument.

Also you clearly appear to be unfamiliar with Taibbi's writing style. That's how he wrote stories about the war crimes of the previous admins; remember those? Or is GWB now considered a leftist?
