Maybe if they quit attacking whites they wouldn’t get the push back. What exactly do they expect? Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by these clowns and their bs.

Here are the numbers on just how bad "white rural rage" is.

According to FBI crimes stats for 2019 (last year available) by region type: Rural areas had a 0.1871% violent crime rate (50,778 violent crimes in a population of 27,139,436 people).
Metro areas had a 0.3861% violent crime rate (1,090,149 violent crimes in a population of 282,364,364). In other words, twice the crime rate as rural folks.
That shows the "rural" part of the rage is a bunch of hogwash.

So let's look at the "white" rage. I couldn't find stats by race for all violent crimes, but here's murders by race. Let's look at the numbers.
3,299 murders committed by whites, which had a population of 235,400,000 (2020 census). A murder rate of 0.0014%.
2,906 murders committed by blacks, which had a population of 5,800,000. Murder rate of 0.0501%. (36 times higher than whites)

The rhetoric of the political class is always far from the truth.

He author has an outsized opinion of the importance of LGBTQ issues. The bigger threat to the US is the LGBTQ activists who seek to impose their puny little community’s manufactured culture on everyone else.

Yeah, we should let the atheist faggoty plundering plutocrat Dickheadz on the East Coast decide everything for the entire breadth of the country.

Ever notice so-called red state America -never- dictates to the so-called blue states how to live? But the blue states cannot stop screwing with everybody else.

Whites just need to sit down, shut up, pay taxes, while the democrat party destroys their lives and imports third world trash to live at their expense.

Yes...the author is launching an attack on the electoral college.

He would be all for the EC if the rural folks were mostly gay.

When I read crap like this I use the computer to replace every word with “black “ and send it right back to the editor daring them to publish it. They never have.

I grew up in a city raised by country parents then moved out of the city to a rural town. I fit in here much better.

“As a political scientist, I’ve written or co-written five books addressing issues of racial politics at some level of government or part of the country. My latest, “White Rural Rage,” seeks to understand the complex intersections of race, place and opinion and the implications they hold for our political system.”

Question, “Professor,” do you believe there are more than two genders?

There is no such thing as “Political Science…” I have a degree in it, I know first hand..
