The Brute. The Buck. And, of course, the Thug.
Those are just some of the names for a racial stereotype that has haunted the collective imagination of White America since the nation's inception. The specter of the angry Black man has been evoked in politics and popular culture to convince White folks that a big, bad Black man is coming to get them and their daughters.
I've seen viral videos of innocent Black men losing their lives because of this stereotype. I've watched White people lock their car doors or clutch their purses when men who look like me approach. I've been racially profiled.
It's part of the psychological tax you pay for being a Black man in America -- learning to accept that you are seen by many as Public Enemy No. 1. But as I've watched three separate trials about White male violence unfold across the US these past few weeks -- the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the Ahmaud Arbery death trial and the civil case against organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville -- I've come to a sobering conclusion:
There is nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man.
It's not the "radical Islamic terrorist" that I fear the most. Nor is it the brown immigrant or the fiery Black Lives Matter protester, or whatever the latest bogeyman is that some politician tells me I should dread.
It's encountering an armed White man in public who has been inspired by the White men on trial in these three cases.

This is CNN.
A proper counter to this racist diatribe is Bill Maher’s monologue from last night:
More hate-mongering tripe from the Dark Side.
>>>There’s nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man>>>
Yawn.....
The Jews of 1944 Warsaw put up quote a fight.
You know, at this point....all we can do is Yawn at these deluded delusional mentally unwell racists and fools on the LEFT. There is nothing else to do at this point but Yawn....
Okay. Well then maybe act like a civilized person around a White man rather than rioting, burning, raping, stealing, etc. Whatever it takes to bring back civility.
And, with they had to fight with, quite a fight.
I totally agree.
See what the people of Chicago have to say about that.
13 do 50. I guess CNN won’t be talking about that.
Lions and hyenas eye each other warily.
Oh, look... yet ANOTHER race-baiter.
Works for me.
Then maybe they shouldn’t taunt us.
Self-appointed victims tend to see what they want to see. If you lock your door it’s because you’re being cautious, but they see it differently. It must be because you’re discriminating against them specifically.
Says the angry black man.
Maybe you should stop pissing him off then.
Good. You need to be frightened. We're pissed off and we're not taking this schiff any more.
That is what Keeps them driving Cadillacs and Lincoln Continentals. And keeps their cocaine dish full. And it also keeps them from having to work for a living. There is always a new batch of fools coming next year.
