nothing I can say to you to open your eyes and make you understand what the man is actually saying.

It's infuriating that he expects anyone to agree with him, in his willful ignorance, his disingenuousness amped up to rage.

This essay has nothing to do with "hatred." It has nothing to do with "racial generalizations." It has to do with those in the majority, those with privilege, acting like assholes--and being clueless as to how they are perceived. Willful ignorance, indeed.

I'm afraid the point has flown right over your head.
