A crisis in white masculinity is killing black teenagers and, history says, the violence is likely to continue.
Why are so many white men like Michael Dunn angry?
Dunn, the man found guilty Saturday on three counts of attempted second-degree murder for shooting into a car full of black teenagers at a Jacksonville, Fla., gas station after an argument over loud rap musicbut not convicted of the murder of Jordan Davis, the 17-year-old slain in the incidentprovides some answers. Like Trayvon Martins killer, George Zimmerman, Dunns case represents the rage felt by many angry white men in America.
During his cross-examination on the stand, Dunn admitted to feeling disrespected by a mouthy teenager who ignored his request to turn down the rap crap blasting from a red SUV occupied by Jordan and his friends. In Dunns version of events, Jordan taunted him with racial and gender slurs like cracker and bitch.
Dunn was pushed over the edge by insults and window-rattling music, and what allegedly followed eerily mirrored the 1993 film Falling Down, in which a white-collar worker-turned-vigilante snaps under the pressure of white, middle-class life and strikes back against Latino gangbangers.
Dunn yelled, Youre not going to talk to me that way, according to witness testimony. He grabbed his gun from the glove compartment and fired nine rounds into the side of the teenagers vehicle, killing Jordan. According to Dunn, he fled the scene and spent a sleepless night at a hotel, expecting more gangsters to retaliate against him and his fiancee.
For angry white men like Dunn, Jordan Davis gangsta rap music and Trayvon Martins hoodie symbolize a larger culture war in which putatively wholesome American culture is under siege by blackness.....

Please show me a post where I said I agreed with Mr. Dunn’s actions.
“Africana studies”. ROTFL. That’s probably why he couldn’t get a REAL job. He’s a professional “student” now. Government grants probably keep him “employed.”
I didn’t say, nor intended to, that anybody agrees with Dunn. I was just acknowledging that this was one situation where there wasn’t a reason to have done what he did.
I thought black rage was all the rage...
Black Studies,of course.You see,at this nation's elite universities the prestigious majors are...Physics..Organic Chemistry...Aeronautical Engineering....and Black Studies
“Like Trayvon Martins killer, George Zimmerman, Dunns case represents the rage felt by many angry white men in America.”
And the wheels of logic go flying off into the ditch.
Anyone who seriously equates those two cases has lost any credibility they might have had.
I was curious what a “certificate in social inequality” is, so I looked it up. Whatever it is, it seems to be offered by universities all over the place:
Why are black Democrats such racist liars?
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Africana studies? What the he-double hockey sticks is that? They made that up.
Africology? THEY MADE THAT UP TOO!!! No such thing.
There was no diaspora...a "scattering." The African tribes SOLD their own to black slave traders who then sold SOME Africans to slave traders. That was no "scattering." The slave trade was thriving business in Africa LONG before Europe was settled. ALL countries had slavery and people sold each other in all countries wherever there were rich and poor people.
This is nothing but stupid, useless and irrelevant garbage and this guy is a race-baiting MORON.
I bet crime figures show that at least that many whites are "lynched" by blacks every decade for the past sixty years.. at least.
[Angry white men] related to a hateful strain of minority-white politics stoked by the Tea Party and right-wing commentators like Rush Limbaugh . . . ."
He copied that from reviews of the movie he mentioned early in the article, Falling Down. The liberal establishment blamed Limbaugh for the outbreak of angry white men (1993).
Now THERE is a useless certificate that will get you hired NO WHERE on this planet.
I guess the perpetual college student might take because s/he had taken EVERYTHING else already but no one else would...well, except OTHER race-baiting morons like this guy.
OTOH, Mr. Zimmerman should never have been charged, and wouldn’t have been, had it not been for the race grievance industry and their allies in the media.
What about all the white victims of the “knockout game” across the nation? To quote one of his buddies, “the chickens have come home to roost”. I can’t tell you how many times black students have referred to me as a “white bitch”, thrown plastic beverage bottles at my head, thrown other stuff at me, spit on me, threatened to kill me or jump me, etc. For the crime of telling them they can’t walk around the room, play cards in class, use a cellphone, interrupt a lesson, etc. Come to a NYC high school classroom some time, in an “urban” neighborhood. You’ll get a Ph.D in reality of how blacks treat whites.
I agree that the Zimmerman trial was a judicial farce. The known relative movements of the Zimmerman and Martin alone should have been enough to show that Zimmerman wasn’t predatorily stalking Martin.
George Zimmerman’s not black.
Maybe before the author gives a smug, condescending, snarky racist diatribe he should try actually researching what he’s talking about?
What other use does his PhD serve anyway?
It's well past time to withdraw.
Bingo. We have a winner. There is no money in telling the truth. I do not believe for a second, that angry white men kill blacks very often, but in the few and rare times that it does happen, it makes makes world news. I know many angry white men, including myself, that have never hurt anyone.
Oh, my dear Mr. Gosa, you haven’t seen real anger yet.
