[Peace-discuss] Sundiata Cha-Jua

[David Green]

Accusations of a pervasive "white rage" motivating Trump voters and supporters is both unproven and politically unhelpful in addressing the structural issues that affect the working class of all backgrounds in neoliberal capitalism. It is part of a form of privileged white identity politics that exonerates the professional class (see Thomas Frank), and casts blame on whites who are not "people like us." The notion of "white rage" has the same problems in explaining our current plight as that of anti-Semitism in explaining Nazi Germany--they're both lacking a material analysis and corresponding political program. The notion of "white rage" is transparently convenient for Clintonites, as are charges of misogyny against Trump voters.
