paraphrase Robin DiAngelo
Woke Fragility is defined as "discomfort and defensiveness of the part of a Woke person when confronted with information about racial inequality and injustice that isn’t flattering to their worldview. Woke Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of empirical or analytical stress on Woke ideology becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, leaving the stress-inducing situation, and worst of all, satire."<ref name=woke/>

To paraphrase Robin DiAngelo, "For those of us who work to raise the racial consciousness of woke folk, simply getting woke folk to acknowledge that our politics gives us advantages is a major effort. The defensiveness, denial, and resistance are deep."
Woke Folk identify defects in society (e.g., poverty and racism) and then insist that the only possible solution to those problems is to turn over control of society to Woke Folks by placing them in positions of power. This belief ignores the empirical evidence that poverty and racism are improving without such a transfer of power. Woke Fragility blinds Woke Folk from seeing other options or the facts.
