Rage Renegades

Abstract

After mentioning briefly the term “rage renegades” in Chapter 4, this chapter provides a more in-depth elaboration and evaluation. “Rage renegades” refers to allies with Lordean rage. 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. This chapter describes four ways in which this misdirection can happen as well as provides some suggestions for how to steer clear of it.
