'White male violence' is paralyzing America

Linking together the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse -- who was found not guilty in the killing of two Black Lives Matter protesters -- with the Ahmaud Arbery trial in Georgia and the civil case against the organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Blake concluded, "There is nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man."

"It's not the 'radical Islamic terrorist' that I fear the most. Nor is it the brown immigrant or the fiery Black Lives Matter protester, or whatever the latest bogeyman is that some politician tells me I should dread. It's encountering an armed White man in public who has been inspired by the White men on trial in these three cases," he wrote.
---
"Look at these three trials, because they point to one frightening future," he added before concluding, "This is what that future looks like: More angry White men emboldened by "stand your ground" and citizen's arrest laws, inspired by a conservative interpretation of the Second Amendment. And more dead Americans."

Emphasis mine

I am adding Karen's into the paralyzing play. Angry white entitled women not as deadly as the male, but their exhausting demands for a different playing field cause they be white can be paralyzing and deadly in and of itself.

The angry dying gasps of white supremacy is, quite literally, deadly.

raison d’être (reason for existence).

They're goddamned mad at:

the guvmint
people of color
women

They're sometimes members of 'Men's Rights Activist' groups, along with being members of KKK, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, etc. The one I'm related to is an MRA (Men's Rights Activist). He is perpetually angry.

I wrote about them after Charlottesville in August 2017:

The "Alt-Right": Radicalized white men OD'd on toxic testosterone, and angry at everything.

But white males are not committing most gun crimes in this country.

And guess who is killing the most black males? Not white males.

This information is widely available.

9. White male violence is a problem, but I don't think its helpful to ignore other kinds of violence.

Its not just white men.
Its a lot of men, and a lot of women.

I was a victim of violence this year by someone who was very angry... not white or male.

...and they're pissed off about it.

I can't wait until large swaths of the nation mirrors California's demographics and these cowtipping morons can't find a presidential candidate who can garner more than 20% of the national vote.

But it is really bad science. Honestly, one should try to stick to facts and reality.
