If I casually say “Money is the root of all evil”, and you respond with an example of an evil deed that was committed for reasons other than money, have you:
A. Disproven me with FACTS and LOGIC
OR
B. Disputed the literal interpretation of something that was not meant literally or absolutely in the first place
Then what exactly am I to take it as? What level of argument is this? “Na ah, you can’t disagree with me, because I was just using a commin saying and don’t want people to actually take my words at face value”?
That’s absolutely fair. But it’s single sentence that can be proven incorrect by a single example and that’s what I just did.

… it’s not, for one.
Not even that. No one said “White men are the instigator of all violence in history”.
You’ve taken it to absurdum.
I don’t know what meme you’ve been seeing, but no… That’s pretty much the message this meme tries to make.
