When we look back on what happened in Ferguson, Mo., during the summer of 2014, it will be easy to think of it as yet one more episode of black rage ignited by yet another police killing of an unarmed African American male. But that has it precisely backward. What we’ve actually seen is the latest outbreak of white rage. Sure, it is cloaked in the niceties of law and order, but it is rage nonetheless.
Protests and looting naturally capture attention. But the real rage smolders in meetings where officials redraw precincts to dilute African American voting strength or seek to slash the government payrolls that have long served as sources of black employment. It goes virtually unnoticed, however, because white rage doesn’t have to take to the streets and face rubber bullets to be heard. Instead, white rage carries an aura of respectability and has access to the courts, police, legislatures and governors, who cast its efforts as noble, though they are actually driven by the most ignoble motivations.
White rage recurs in American history. It exploded after the Civil War, erupted again to undermine the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision and took on its latest incarnation with Barack Obama’s ascent to the White House. For every action of African American advancement, there’s a reaction, a backlash.
The North’s victory in the Civil War did not bring peace. Instead, emancipation brought white resentment that the good ol’ days of black subjugation were over. Legislatures throughout the South scrambled to reinscribe white supremacy and restore the aura of legitimacy that the anti-slavery campaign had tarnished. Lawmakers in several states created the Black Codes, which effectively criminalized blackness, sanctioned forced labor and undermined every tenet of democracy....

Dream on sister.
As long as you burn down the ghettos in your delusional quest for "Just Us" and kill 94% of other blacks, you barely get a yawn out of white America.
But know this. We do expect a time When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence. And when that time comes and you venture out of your slums and into the 'burbs; you will then experience a true measure of white rage.
Why does Carol straighten her hair ala white folk?
Oh, barf! This poor, aggrieved (and vastly overpaid, I'm sure) professor ought to know that her home state here has been gerrymandered in such a way as to guarantee the election of more black officials than any impartial apportionment would allow. And she should also know - or remember the next time she stands in line at some government office - that public service today is a joke: our featherbedded government offices are staffed by incompetents and malcontents who can hardly bother to stop watching computer porn long enough to wait on those they allegedly serve.
Further proof that being a college professor does not require intelligence.. A political agenda to the left of center is very important however.............
LOL!
She teaches African American Studies.
That says it all.
.
Some of these people are complete idiots.
I’m surprised a person this dumb can actually string two sentences together. It’s not about their color, lady. It’s all about the way they act.
black thugs robbing cigars and attacking police is regressive, not progressive.
A black woman making such suggestions is also racist regression. The view from her ebony tower is obscured by her being a professional negro
This professor is more proof that in addition to not being worth the investment, a modern non-technical college "education" only makes you stupider.
I stopped listening to black folks.
officials redraw precincts to dilute African American voting strength
The Pubbies are only too happy to draw districts to ensure Blacks win. That is what allowed them to keep control of the House in 2012 even though they did not win the popular vote in the House elections either.
Heh.
If Emory had a football team, it should be the Whining Victims.
Stupidest comment on Ferguson so far. Even Al Sharpton isn’t this effing stupid.
She sees progress as thugs looting convenience stores in thier nieghborhoods, domestic violence drugs alcohol abuse single parent homes, fatherless homes, gang violence,no one wants to work, generational entitlements, burning down thier own communities for some free beer liquor and food. This is white rage because we see progress. They will never look within where the problem lies
More than 20% of the Black working population over 16 years old are employees of the federal, state, or local government which is just over 5% higher than the national average. On the other end a much smaller percentage of African Americans are self-employed (3.6%) than the national average of 6.2%.
Among the major race and ethnicity groups, Hispanics continued to have the highest labor force participation rate (68.5 percent) in 2008, while the participation rate for blacks was the lowest (63.7 percent). The participation rates for whites (66.3 percent) and Asians (67.0 percent) were roughly midway between the rates for blacks and Hispanics, continuing a long-term pattern.

“But there are some white male profs who are just as idiotic….”
Yeah, there sure is. This white twit surfaced in an earlier post. She’s pushing “transitional justice,” which is a new code phrase for reparations.
