Reply #74: I got the point of the OP. Seems fairly clear-cut, but

[verse18]

Many people who post on this website suffer from the white, male privilegeatosis (my own diagnosis). seemslikeadream, you've had to deal with a few of them on this thread.

They subconsciously realize that they benefit, directly or indirectly, by the White, christian, patriarchal society, including everything you listed above. They don't want their power diminished in any way even if it has nothing to do with them specifically. They relate to people like GWHB and his ilk. And instead of questioning their privilege and sense of entitlement, they deflect and obfuscate the issues and turn on their faux outrage. It's too predictable. Especially for some.
