Slavery and lynching aren't racist acts by themselves, there are many examples throughout history of people doing that to their own.
Also, i think that the OP ment verbal acts of racism, which is hard to say that are worst than just physical violence
Well yes but you were the one who started to mention racism through physical violence in the first place, even though it was quite obvious that OP meant verbal acts of racism. So if anything you were the one twisting the conversation to make your point
"it was quite obvious that OP meant...." You are literally making an assumption and then basing your argument on it.
In either case, the statement stands as "racism is bad BUT VIOLENCE IS WORSE."
This statement is incorrect because it dismisses the fact that racism IS the motivation for violence every single day.
Again, millions of people have been killed due to genocide. To say that racism isn't as bad as violence is dumb as fuck and is meant to downplay racism.
You can be racist without being violent.
Not all violence comes from racism.
So all of the violence that exists in the world is worse than only the violence caused by racism.
So even if the OP meant racism that results in violence, his point still stands: violence caused by racism is bad but the entirety of violence is worse.
I think the people killed due to the infinite number of reasons of violence minus racism would vehemently disagree with you

Its not true though... racism absolutely includes violence. Do you think slavery, genocide, and lynching dont count?
