White men have always had the power of the purse and the ability to buy weapons to defend themselves for purposes both good or ill. I saw this a lot growing up in the 1950s in what this white male privilege could actually do both for good and for ill.
So, I respect this problem as a big one.
Most white men are okay and are sane but it only takes about 5% of the men going ballistic over something real or imagined and you are going to have a completely horrific and possibly fatal experience. I have seen this personally over and over again throughout my life.
I learned not to go some places where I knew someone might die unnecessarily. So, if possible I stayed away from places of violence or potential violence because this just seemed sane to me.
However, especially young single white males under 25 or 30 can often be armed in dangerous situations and sometimes those situations become fatal. So, like I said, knowing which situations could be fatal and avoiding those situations for yourself and your family keeps everyone alive to see another day.
