WHITE RAGE

1/27/2021

Check out Carol Anderson's brilliant take on white rage and how it punishes "Black resilience and Black resolve" in a VOX interview with Fabiola Cineas. Pointing to how white rage manifests in political strategies like voter suppression and the War on Drugs, she says: "In America, we are so focused on the flames that we miss the kindling. The kindling — those are the policies." The interview ends with a bang: "I’ve had people say to me, 'Why don’t you call it white angst?' Well, what do you call it when you systematically deny children the right to education because they’re Black? That’s rage. What do you call it when Black people come out and vote and your response is not, 'Yes, democracy!' Your response is, 'That’s illegal. That’s fraudulent. We’ve got to shut it down. We’ve got to strip them of their citizenship rights.' That’s rage."
