Working the halls of power, it can achieve its ends far more effectively, fare more destructively.” White Rage doesn’t have to wear sheets, burn crosses, or take to the streets. Too imperceptibly, certainly, for a nation consistently drawn to the spectacular - to what it can see. It wreaks havoc subtly, almost imperceptibly. “What rage is not about visible violence, but rather it works its way through the courts, the legislatures, and a range of government bureaucracies. “It was the same with policing, housing, voting, and employment.” “In the 21stCentury, Michael Brown’s school district had been on probation for fifteen years” for racial inequality. ![]() the Board of Education (1954) did virtually nothing.

But since Raiola’s latest visits in March to Georgia and Nebraska and his subsequent canceling of a trip back to Lincoln for the Red-White game in April, signs have pointed in favor of the two-time defending national champion Dawgs.
