  1. Thank you both for a mind – blowing conversation, and kudos to Professor Sut Jhally for mentioning the connection between the police murder of George Floyd and the Jan. 6, 2021

    U.S.Capitol insurrection. they both corroborate author, Carol Anderson’s book – “White Rage”, wherein she states: “The trigger for white rage, inevitably, is black advancement.

    It is not the mere presence of black people that is the problem; rather, it is blackness with ambition, with drive, with purpose, with aspirations, and with demands for full and equal citizenship”.

    [ ‘White Rage’- Carol Anderson,Ph.D.;2016 ].
