White anger amounts to an explosive issue of our time. As subject matter, it's broad in scope while Younge has only an hour to crowd in the material. Then too, I wonder how willing White respondents were to level with a Black interviewer, a pertinent unaddressed factor. Along the hour length thread, host Gary Younge strings out a series of separate interviews with White spokespeople, business owners and ordinary citizens, along with intersectional travels mainly from north to south.
All in all, the thread results in fairly representative citizen opinion among growing White frustrations over race, culture, and the economy. Black man Younge is confrontational with only one interviewee, namely leading White separatist Richard Spencer, which seems understandable given Spencer's reputation. Otherwise, Younge asks probing questions without arguing over those he might disagree with. Chief among the opinions are growing White concern with working class decline, increasing dependency on opioid drugs, and the diminishing percentage of Whites among the general population. Generally these opinions are phrased in non-partisan political manner though Trump is often mentioned as a figure of White hope. Anyway, it's a worthwhile hour without being anything special, the responses probably reaffirming what most concerned folks already know. Nonetheless, for those less informed, it's likely a good introduction to a leading challenge of our time.
