I've noticed that during converstaions with 'white' people about White Supremacy/Racism, almost all of them reach a point where they 'go blamk' kinda like the proverbial 'deer in the headlights'. 2 quesions follow: A) Is this the so-called 'saturation point'?
B) Is this behavior intentional (deception) or unintentional?

Sounds like "saturation point" to me but just to make sure, let me explain my version.
SATURATION POINT: during a discussion about White supremacy between a White person and a non white person, the revelation of truth about the system of White supremacy results in the White person feeling "less White" until they reach a [Saturation point] and either gotta take a swing at you or go watch a John Wayne movie. For White females, the result of [saturation] is often tears.
Most victims of racism have a fear of reaching the saturation point with a suspect because for most of them it is "unknown territory". You can't be sure what the reaction of a White person will be if they begin to feel "unwhite". I can only suspect that it frightens them.
V God could probably expand on it more since he coined the term.
My personal opinion is that the behavior is involuntary.
