Little Angry White Guys

Little White Guys is representative of what Benjamin Anastas’s 2011 New York Times Magazine article “The Foul Reign of Emerson’s ‘Self-Reliance’” called “a radically self-centered world-view.” This view provides a rationale for us to construct whatever illusion of world order we imagine with ourselves at the center regardless of the readily available facts to the contrary. Only recently, have I realized in a visceral way that those seeing themselves at the center are, in fact, are almost always white males like myself.
