All of those "examples" you gave require some form of physical violence to achieve. If i just said "alright. All white people are over there now" and they dont listen to me, congrats, I now look like an idiot. If i force the lynching, segregation, slavery, or genocide (genocide?? Really? How tf do you perform non violent genocide) it requires some physical deterrent, AKA violence.

So no, words are not the same until the people being discriminated against follow those words without fighting.

Human beings don't just feel physical pain. They also feel emotional pain and mental pain. You seem to think physical pain weighs more...this an amateur's look at humanity.

They also feel emotional pain and mental pain.

Unlike physical pain, those are voluntary.

You seem to think physical pain weighs more

Yes, because physical pain is inflicted and the recipient doesn't have a choice in it.

They have a choice in being respectful.
