Anyone who thinks white men are being discriminated against is an idiot, and I'll tell them as much.

If telling someone "white men aren't being discriminated against you idiot" pushes them to do violence, then that person is not my ally and never was. They are a dangerous individual that should never have been allowed access to a fork, never mind a weapon.
A proper educational and mental health system should have caught such individuals long ago to give them the treatment they need.

"discriminated against"

You don't even recognize what you're doing. You don't understand the situation or your opposition at all.
But it's not surprising, you don't want to.

Okay, so tell me what I'm doing. Explains the situation. This is a teachable moment, and telling me "You don't know understand" does help me to actually understand.
