Glad you didn't have that experience? But plenty of men do.

As a white male I also have never had that experience. Not have any of my other white male friends.

For something apparently so common it's bizarre I've never seen it heard of a real case of it. Maybe there's a different reason that people were yelling at you?

I've never been beating to death by the police. No black friend I've ever had has either!

Clearly all those black guys who died from being beaten by the police, are liars! They must have done something to deserve having their neck leaned on until they died of asphyxiation! They must have deserved it! All those videos and court cases are clearly all lies and misinformation.

This is your logic and argumentation.

So now white men are being beaten to death for being white males?

All those videos and court cases are clearly all lies and misinformation.

Fantastic point: where are the video and court cases about white men being attacked?

You completely missed the point.

All you care about is your agenda and you will ignore all testimony to the contrary as fake and false. Just like a MAGA.

What point did I miss? I'm not going to play "guess the point", if there's a different point you're trying to make you need to state it.

All you care about is your agenda

What agenda is that?

You're making vague statements implying an argument but won't state what your argument is. This leads me to believe your argument is so fragile it wouldn't stand up to the scrutiny of being read.

you will ignore all testimony to the contrary

Some rando on social media isn't testimony. People lie on social media all the time. I asked for specific evidence and this is the response I get.

Maybe there’s a different reason that people were yelling at you?

Must you resort to personal attacks? Why assume anyone who disagrees with you is only doing so because of a character flaw?

Why assume anyone who disagrees with you is only doing so because of a character flaw?

When did I say anyone who disagrees with me has a character flaw? It has just been my experience that whenever someone complains that they are being discriminated against for being a white male, as soon as anyone looks into it turns out they got in trouble / got yelled at because of some action they had taken. As OP said: happens all the time.

Also note that saying "maybe that person was upset because of an action you had taken instead of the colour and shape of your genitals" is not a personal attack. I am neither condoning the yelling nor condemning some unknown action. I am presenting an alternative view to the scenario that has been presented with very little information.
