[Sultan Knish] If you want to know who has privilege in a society and who doesn’t, follow the anger.

There are people in this country who can safely express their anger. And those who can’t. If you’re
angry that Trump won, your anger is socially acceptable. If you were angry that Obama won, it wasn’t.

James Hodgkinson’s rage was socially acceptable. It continued to be socially acceptable until he crossed the line into murder. And he’s not alone. There’s Micah Xavier Johnson, the Black Lives Matter cop-killer in Dallas, and Gavin Long, the Black Lives Matter cop-killer in Baton Rouge. If you’re black and angry about the police, your anger is celebrated. If you’re white and angry about the Terror travel ban, the Paris Climate treaty, ObamaCare repeal or any leftist cause, you’re on the side of the angry angels.

But if you’re white and angry that your job is going to China or that you just missed being killed in a Muslim suicide bombing, your anger is unacceptable.

If you’re an angry leftist, your party leader, Tom Perez will scream and curse into a microphone, and your aspiring presidential candidate, Kirsten Gillibrand, will curse along, to channel the anger of the base. But if you’re an angry conservative, then Trump channeling your anger is "dangerous" because you aren’t allowed to be angry.

Not all anger is created equal. Some anger is privileged rage.

#1 All you really need to know about any hothead is to move slowly and deliberately away and don't waste your breath saying "Calm down, man..."

#2 Anger is only "privileged" when it comes from the left (sarc).

#3 I think what we're talking about here is Political Correctness™, aka Newspeak, aka the officially sanctioned method used by elites, MSM and left wing moon bats to deny your First Amendment rights.
