I don't know Chuck, this guy sounds like a goof.  I don't think there's 
anything particularly white about a group of people pushing someone until 
they snap and I don't think there's anything particularly white about the 
horrible actions someone who has snapped can commit.  Maybe the only place 
I can see skin color mattering is that middle-class, white westerners may 
be more likely to expect the world to be a basically benevolent place and 
take it harder if they find out it isn't.
