White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson

challenging dark informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.0

• This is a history of systemic White American anti-Black rage starting at the end of the Civil War, it thoroughly spells out how systemic racism has not changed in 200 (even 400) years, it has simply rebranded
• Wanted to read this in 4 days but that was a joke, it is DENSELY packed with historical research about genuinely horrifying subject matter, I ended up sticking to an average of about a dozen pages a day
• I started this right after Frederick Douglass’s autobiography just by coincidence but I actually think both books complement each other very well and frankly paint a much clearer portrait of American racial injustice than I ever received in school
