2021 Charles N. Dowd Lecture
Myisha Cherry (Philosophy, UC-Riverside)
"Rage Renegades" refers to allies with rage at racial injustice. They are rage renegades
because although their privilege and place in a white-supremacist society is meant
to guarantee that they will be complicit or engage in racism as a way to maintain
racial domination, they instead show outrage at such a society. In doing so, they
rebel against a racist system that was designed to benefit them exclusively. But rage
renegading can also go wrong when it reinforces the same white supremacy that the
rage aims to challenge. In this talk, I'll describe four ways in which this misdirection
can happen as well as provide some suggestions for how to steer clear of it.
