Does this mean that 80% of black folks have "white rage" because they support voter id laws?According to Anderson, white rage is legitimatized through the policies that make up the American political framework. It lives in voter ID laws and manifests in the Black votes that are never cast. It lives in criminal sentencing laws and plays out in a war on drugs that was waged against Black people. It is the rage that fueled the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to dismantle America’s multicultural democracy — and it hasn’t gone away.
“White rage is the operational function of white supremacy. It is the fear of a multicultural democracy. It is predicated on a sense that only whites are legitimate Americans,” Anderson told me. -Vox.com
I only recently heard this expression and it was on the news. I don't remember in what context it was used but I looked it up and it's the title of this book.
Has anyone read this book? What are people hearing about this term and what it means? I just got hip to this term so I haven't formed an opinion yet. I'm sure others have.
