I would be a little weary of buying white fragility, it seems like it gives advice in a very managerial type of way from a white woman who does this as corporate consulting (she was paid at least $8,600 by the trump admin for diversity consulting). I would probably read material from black writers on their views on racism before even considering reading this.
Maybe this is a good blueprint of how to deal with racism in a corporate setting but I personally would probably get nothing out of this
These Truths by Jill Lepore. One volume American history exploring the tension between the words of founding documents like Declaration of Independence and the reality of American life since then. Just finished it and learned a lot from it.
