But he was unprepared for the flood of vitriol in response. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe resulting blowback played out in the national media, with critics attacking Yancy in every form possible--including death threats--and supporters rallying to his side. Despite the rhetoric of a \"post-race\" America, Yancy quickly discovered that racism is still alive, crude, and vicious in its expression. In Backlash, Yancy expands upon the original article and chronicles the ensuing controversy as he seeks to understand what it was about the op-ed that created so much rage among so many white readers. He challenges white Americans to rise above the vitriol and to develop a new empathy for the African American experience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Yancy is Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.
