White Rage

the Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide

I noticed that a slew of right-wingers have given the book a 1 star rating on the Amazon.com website in the hopes that they can bring the average rating down so people will not be encouraged to read it. Basically, the book describes various episodes from 1865 to 2016 in which people of good will attempt to redress the 250 years of exploitation of slave labor through new laws and court decisions. Each time "white rage" takes over the government and wipes out 90% of the attempted solutions. The last episode is the "white rage" that took over our country when the voters elected a "Black" president. "White rage" opposed him for eight years, slandering him as lazy, incompetent, ignorant, a Muslim, a Kenyan, etc. etc. And then the right-wing Supreme Court gutted the 1965 voting rights act, making it easier to once again prevent African-Americans from voting. As Paul Ryan said, one reason he and Romney lost the 2012 election was that there were too many "urban" voters.
