Aggregate daily micro-assaults accumulate into a vast racialized resentment

Evidence

[E] very day in this land some white man is cussing out some defenseless Negro. But that white bastard is too stupid to realise that his actions are being duplicated a million times in a million other spots by other whites who feel hatred for Negroes just like he does. He’s too blind to see that this daily wave of a million tiny assaults builds up a vast reservoir of resentment in Negroes. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 1418
