Public displays of violence following the Zimmerman not-guilty verdict have understandably made some of us doubt in others’ ability to keep cool heads. But according to Salon writer Edward Wyckoff Williams, “our real problem is white rage.”
Rage against the white raaaaaaage!
The veiled threat of an aggressive police
response to imaginary civil unrest belies the very logic that led to
Trayvon Martin’s death to begin with. For, you see, African-Americans
are never protected or served by the law enforcement apparatus — yet
they are always subject to its military might.
…
The paradox of being implicitly excluded
from the guarantee of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness has been
reiterated and reinforced by public policy and social malaise for
centuries. President Barack Obama is not immune — as he’s become the
target of incessant “white rage”: race-baiting attacks, prejudice and
bias even prior to his election. The Republican Party and its
neo-Confederate Tea Party wing has been committed to invalidating his
political and legislative legacy as much as the Zimmerman jury
invalidated the civil rights of Trayvon. The disparate precedent set,
therefore, becomes all the more insulting when we’re told to simply
shut-up and bear it.
This dipshit, @WyckoffWilliams, is a great example of a race baiting a-hole who will never allow good race relations http://www.salon.com/2013/07/15/our_real_problem_is_white_rage/ …
