They are nothing more than your counterparts

 There's something that I think you may be missing here. When you talk about these people who ride you so much people who you describe as being woke or activists like black lives matter, all you're really talking about if people who are passionate to a degree where there who was that word single-minded very single-minded and focus on an issue to the point where they're not really rational. They may be actually taking their pent up intense anchor out on people who shouldn't be targets because they have just lost themselves. They do things with abandon and recklessly. But what I think you don't understand is that that's exactly what you have done and then. You are the other side of that coin.

That's what makes fear dangerous, that you can be easily mamipulated in that state of mind to see anyone who is 'other' in any way as THE enemy.

They are the school shooters, the serial killers, the bombers of public spaces,the harmers of masses of innocent people just to make a statement. That's as white as white can be. Anything white people do is okay, an...

We seem to be having a crisis of discernment

 Wherein people are having great difficulty assessing situations in and determining what's true, what's false, what's being overblown, what's urgent, what no longer matters, what's no longer working...etc., etc.  We don't know what's going on. The problem is that absent that kind of surety, people are grasping, making things up, believing things that are unsupported or unreasonable just because their psyche requires SOMETHING, anything. It's a mental health crisis.
