The original post never mentions the n word or social media. What are you even trying to say?

The N word is a well known example of racist speech/action and social media is often where these uses are drug up and litigated.

But I don't use my identity as a white male to paint myself a victim, so maybe I'm off base? Are there other avenues where these previously non-racists were bullied into becoming racists?

That is a sentence that contains words I wouldn't dispute. I still fail to connect it to the original post in any way.

I took it that social media was the primary way under 40 white males were being told they were racist or were seeing others being called racist.

Specifically I recall the many posts I've come across to the effect of "I used to be X but the community of Y caused me to become Anti-X".

I'm an under 40 white male who doesn't feel doomed to an existence of being a racist so I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be seeing this?
