I honestly don't think the average White person is capable of comprehending that. Most goats are at least a little fucked up or are likely below the average on some kind of empathy scale.

In a sane society, we'd be the ones spearing dishonest aliens at the border forts.

we have very high empathy, but it is combined with a rational value system. I wouldn't hurt someone for no reason, because of my high empathy; this is not true for some groups who enjoy hurting people. I will also hurt people to protect my family, myself, my community, etc. because I value these things.

The average white can't won't hurt someone without extensive counter-empathy training.

Violence takes a force of will for us.
