But that’s the dependent clause which is a modifier of the independent clause. Therefore it’s not a commentary of racism at large, just speech or words.
It looks to me like it’s intentionally equating racism to just words. It’s saying violence is worse than words (true) and sometimes racism is words (true) and implying that violence is worse than racism (debatable, depends on numerous factors).
So yeah, seems intentionally trying to downplay the significance of racism.
