We know why they act defensively, why they "misunderstand". We've known for decades, if not hundreds of years, if not millennium: It is because they do not want to face the darkness they have accepted, that they have become. This goes for white people or privileged folks. At some point the excuse stops being ignorance and it is wilful. If it is wilful ignorance or apathy in the face of it, then that is a type of psychosis. Especially with so much information about this.

I'm over with the excuses for these people.
