White Rage in Ferguson

Ferguson Isn’t About Black Rage Against Cops. It’s White Rage Against Progress (Carol Anderson) from the Washington Post
"... 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. ... A rash of voter-suppression legislation, a series of unfathomable Supreme Court decisions, the rise of stand-your-ground laws and continuing police brutality make clear that Obama’s election and reelection have unleashed yet another wave of fear and anger."
Very interesting opinion here.  It actually explains quite a bit.
