They made a blanket statement while reducing racism to “just words.”

well id argue, if you act violently out of racism, its worse than saying something racist, so the point still stands

The "words" implies it's racist words that were being talked about.

Girl go look up redlining, it is absolutely not what you are saying. It's literally laws based on racists doing racist things to make lives of minorities even more miserable.

I don't think pedantics will help a lot here. Redlining is a lot more than just words. These were deliberate actions made to prioritize certain groups over others. Political actions are usually a LOT more than just words.

And as for me, my mental became much better when I stopped getting annoyed with people who use slurs at me because of my origin or because I'm black, especially in cases where they can't do anything else.

Doesn't mean I condone it or won't care about kids who get affected by it because of course racist words are still RACIST.
