I completely sympathize with the sentiment, here. I’m not for one moment suggesting that the anger doesn’t have legitimacy. But I fear that the equivocation of your “maybe” betrays the truth, which is that yelling at racist Dads never got a single racist Dad to realize that they were wrong.

That said, I fully accept that anger can precipitate radical change, even in the face of the most stubborn conservative intransigence. I just don’t see it playing out that way this time I’m afraid. Thanks for the corrective, nonetheless. I hope to God you’re right.
