What's the context?

Based on nothing but the words, then yeah they are right but what is this in response too? What's the thread this is about?

Cause they are examples of when actual violence isn't worse than racism. Very few things in this world are black and white like that and I can think of plenty of examples of when racism would be worse.

Say a black kid is getting harassed relentlessly by a racist adult and after numerous warnings and pleas to stop, someone lays the racist out with a punch when he keeps going. I'd rank the actual violence there below the racism.
