There's really nothing to say to this piece. Only apologists blinded by cognitive dissonance will refuse to see what is a very clear pattern.

Powerful yet many will dismiss this.

Powerful!
We do need to keep hammering home this point. So much of American pathology (in every cultural group) is driven by "White men" wanting to be in dominant.

a rude and unnecessary attack

Yikes, where to start. Well, first I'd suggest some logic puzzles (Tetris, Soduku, etc) to redirect bloodflow away from your amygdala and back into your PFC to jump start your executive functions.
Keeping the end in mind (gaining self-awareness and observing your psychological projection with the hopes of quashing it to remain objective) then what we what to do is become mindful and present. Observe the spaces around you for what actually exists and not what your "feelings" tell you exists.
We can do this! I'll help you as so many before you and you WILL get better! I check back later and see how you are doing.

There will be some who claim this is a racist/sexist attack on white males. I would only point out that for a social "scientist" this is a stunningly lazy piece of selected anecdotes designed purely to inflame the emotions while completely bypassing the higher intellect.
bobringer — July 31, 2015
We should do a version of this with black American males in Chicago... over a 2 day period.
Sadly... I don't think the internet has enough bits for that.
But hey, you guys know what the problem is, so you keep right on at it, sunshine.

Nothing like a dose of racism and bullshit amateur psychoanalysis, huh?
Michael Paul Goldenberg — August 1, 2015
What a surprise that a few white males feel compelled to try to blow this piece off. The only "improvement" over the reactions one finds more typically online is that the denialists below are obviously a little better educated. But that's as far as it goes: intellectual and pseudo-intellectual denial are still denial. And of course, nothing in this column points a finger at all white males. I don't find the commentary at all threatening. Must mean I'm not a real white male.
John George — August 1, 2015
The existence of racial preference is a fact, and the more powerful group has historically been able to inflict more damage than less powerful groups through this system of preference (although the culture of victimhood is attempting to reverse this).
Denying that there is still white racism and that white racism still has the ability to inflict greater damage, and so should be more intensely scrutinized than racism against whites, is ignorant at best. However, trying to counter this by inflaming hatred against all individuals in the more powerful group is morally reprehensible, reckless and potentially very dangerous.

Links to official police reports would be appropriate for properly documented sources.
Sprocket — August 4, 2015
There were more killing just last weekend in Chicago and non of them were committed by white males....
David Christian — August 4, 2015
I'm sorry, and all the non-white gang bangers in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York never killed anyone because they felt "dominant"? This article is absolute rubbish. Get over your liberal arts degree and media induced white guilt, Lisa!
pduggie — August 12, 2015
How was the white male going to murder her with a taser?
LiberalsTriggerMe — August 13, 2015
Blacks commit WAY more crime than Whites!
Why doesn't the author document THEIR crimes with detail, like she has done here? Oh yeah, it's because her hands are too politically correct!

All attributed motivations are approximate. All races are unconfirmed. All crimes are alleged. All oppression is interconnected.
In other words, this is purely the writer's supposition.
What a crock of shit.

This is a preposterously shoddy piece of work for a tenured professor.

Google "Crime and Victimization in the USA, 2005" Scroll down to Table 42. There you will find that blacks raped or sexually assaulted 37,460 white women that year, whilst white men did the same to fewer than ten black women. Read for yourselves!

Go to the above link. Its a list of all the black on white murders in the year 2014. It is by no means comprehensive, but appalling neverthless.
The big question: What is wrong with white people?
