What happens when women and people of color start to move into real high-level positions of power in America? White men who believe that they should hold onto ALL of the power start behaving badly as a way to deal with their anxiety.

Expect to see more White Men Behaving Badly in the coming years as increasing numbers of people of color and more women ascend to higher levels of political and economic power.
