Honestly, this kind of anger-generating politics is so powerful now that I think the only way to beat it is for all of us to stop identifying as white on any documentation. Put "other" or "two or more races" on EVERY document you sign. If that option isn't available then put hispanic because Louisiana was once a Spanish colony.

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.

Kyle Rittenhouse carries a rifle in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020, during a night of unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse shot three people, two fatally, that night but was acquitted this week after claiming self-defense.

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.


The level of ignorance and hypocrisy it takes to write the above is astounding

Race/identity politics is the defining platform of the left now. That ship has sailed.

You damn right and when the elections come back around they will find out that angry white men still run the country.

This guy is a moron, plain and simple. Assuming he's a black male he's like 15x more likely to be killed by another black guy. Facts don't care about your feelings.

The amount of false information being spread in the last day by America’s media on this case is astounding.

He had intent to defend himself and remove the threat to himself. And a jury of his peers agreed. So you can frick off, troll.

Wasn’t it three angry white men who tried to kill Kyle Rittenhouse?


The way they are spinning that is that he was killing allies of POC, trying to further isolate and marginalize them.

I wish I were exaggerating

Especially as one referred to is on record as saying the n-word
