#white rage

FallenVerse AU concept: FallenShift-ζ #2: BLANC “White clothes ain’t purity here. It’s a dare.” — BLANC, where rage wears a clean coat FELL concept is all wrath, blood, and blades but BLANC is.... also that but colder, cleaner, and... somehow worse. WRATH & PRIDE — Cousins With Knives

Wrath is rage, but not random. It’s insulted pride on fire.

Pride doesn’t need a crown—it just wants respect. Badly.

In this AU, they’re intertwined. Wrath isn’t just lashing out—it’s honor-based violence. And pride? It snaps when stained.

OG FELL = Red / Black / Gold BLANC = Red / Black / White

Why white? Simple:

White stands for cleanliness, nobility, and most importantly—control.

You wear white in this AU? You’re saying: “I’m untouchable. If you make me dirty, I make you regret it.” something like that, is simple to see it :D

-> Even a scuff on someone’s white sleeve could start a duel. White = image. Image = honor. Honor = blood.

And that’s just surface tension.

FELL is rage like wildfire.

BLANC is rage like black ice. You don’t see it coming until your pride’s in pieces on the ground.

This is one of her class lectures on 

white rage - defined

Since the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, every time African Americans have made advances towards full participation in our democracy, White reaction has fueled a deliberate and relentless rollback of their gains. 

The end of the Civil War and Reconstruction was greeted with the Black Codes and Jim Crow. Then there was the so-called Southern Strategy and the War on Drugs that disenfranchised millions of African Americans while propelling presidents Nixon and Reagan into the White House.

Anderson carefully links these and other historical flashpoints when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition.

She pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy, fiscal responsibility, or protection against fraud, and renders visible the long lineage of White rage, adding an important new dimension to the national conversation about race in America. Excerpt from Professor Anderson Book White Rage

I just finished White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson. This isn’t the first book I’ve read about the history of systemic, anti-Black racism in the United States, but it is the most hard-hitting I’ve read so far. 

Anderson refutes the conventional narrative of linear progress towards racial equality that most Americans, myself included, learned in school, in church, and at home. She does this by examining the state of civil rights from the end of the Civil War through the 2016 presidential election and illustrating how, at every turn, Black progress was treated as a threat to white supremacy and was met with outrage. This white rage dominates all branches of the American government, where official channels are used to punish Black progress. This white rage is the motivating force behind the gutting of the public education system, the war on drugs, and the far-right nationalist movement that got Trump elected. 

This is one of the most well-researched books I’ve ever read. I actually finished it much faster than I expected to because I didn’t realize it had OVER 100 PAGES of citations, footnotes, and sources. Anderson’s argument may be hard for some readers to hear, but she has the evidence to back it up.
