Thus, we aim to engage in critical race media literacy through an analysis of Hello Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea. We do so through a frame of white fragility (DiAngelo, 2011) and white emotionalities (Matias, 2016). In this article, we argue that it is vital to disrupt and challenge notions of white supremacy and whiteness by highlighting examples of white fragility and white emotionalities in the media to make visible what often operates as invisible in society.

Using an example from a school district in Missouri, they explore the history, content, curriculum, pedagogy, and limitations of a course that combines Black Studies with Black history and literature. They examine how a reconceptualization of this course is possible and suggest that all educational stakeholders could benefits from this new approach.
