In the early days of the KKK it was "blacks are taking our country from us" + "raping our women." Cf Birth of a Nation

The KKK—white terrorists who ride around with torches spreading fear and intimidation—have always thought of themselves as "defenders"

Premise 3: political violence can always be "understood" in a context where the violent actor has a grievance.

4: Some grievances are more legitimate than others.

When 9/11 happened, you could say, "with America's global imperialist actions, this was bound to happen!" Many leftists did.

When Micah Xavier Johnson killed 5 cops in Dallas last year, you could say, "with ongoing racist police abuse, this was bound to happen!"

Now, in these latter cases there is a legitimate grievance. But the violent response is not directed or justifiable.

The "SJWs calling us Nazis made us become Nazis" excuse is even worse than these. Because:

1 "people called us names" is not on its own a real grievance. Have PoC ever significantly oppressed whites in America? No.

2a people who don't have Nazi sympathies to begin with don't become Nazis at the slightest provocation.

2b Hence, calling them Nazis was clearly justified to begin with

3 the people eager to "understand" why Nazis did this never seem to apply the same logic to peaceful BLM activism, much less Micah X Johnson

But BLM has REAL grievances, not "SJWs called us names!"

The outbreak of white supremacist violence should be understood as the latest appearance of the same problem as the historical KKK

White supremacist violence always justifying itself with phony claims of white victimhood. Always.

So you saying, "Well, it's no wonder, how much longer could white men stand the terrible names SJWs called them!" is apologetics.

It's you feeding them the same type of lame fake excuse they've always used for murder, terror and oppression.
