Even if it's a delusion, people believe it and I think we should take it seriously and help them see through that delusion.

I'm not advocating for shutting down these departments at all, or slashing and burning research.

I'm hoping that we can help people realize that people love them and care about them and support them more than they could ever imagine, even if they're a white man.

I say this as a white man who has dated black women and had them say some really harsh things about me as a white man, only to realize that often it was an internal conflict that they had about being black but also liking some things from white culture. Some of them had been called white by their own black communities, and so feeling stuck between those worlds.

I think the vast majority of us just need to learn how to deal with emotional attacks, to realize life is combat and everyone is trying to deal with innumerable conflicts at the same time, all the time.
