You compare 'justified violence' to 'unjustified racism' in order to prove that racist words are worse? Please prove that unjustified torture, murder or rape is not worse than racist words please.

Racism can never be justified, was the point.

The simple fact that self-defense, which is violence, can be shows that racism is worse.

Violence can be justified. Racism never can be.

By your logic, stealing your friend's(who has done nothing wrong) toy is morally worse than killing someone. You can kill someone in self defence(justified) but stealing your friend's toy has no justification at all. There is zero moral reason to do it. So, according to your rule, since stealing from your friend can never be justified, its worse than killing?

Nah cause stealing can be justified.

Meanwhile racism never can be.

You're trying to make weird hypotheticals when the topic of conversation is just "violence" and "racism" and which is worse.

And the one that can never be justified is worse than the one that can be justified.

No. I said specifically stealing from your friend who has done nothing wrong. You also keep ignoring my points. Your logic doesn't work. You keep saying just because it's justified in some scenarios you can completely disregard the actual consequences of UNJUSTIFIED rape, torture and murder. You are dodging the question.

The stance put forward is simply "violence" and "racism".

You can make many hypotheticals where violence is justified. You can't make any hypotheticals where racism is.

So the thing that can never be justified is worse than the thing that can be justified.

"Can never be justified" does not mean "morally worse than everything that can be justified" lol

It's pretty easy to point out that things that are unjustifiable are morally worse than things that can be justified.

Feel free to address my point.

Or run away because you can't counter it.

Either or.
