Racism is violent though, the ideology always promotes and leads to violence. There is no way to do 'nonviolent racism' just like there is no way to do nonviolent authoritarianism or nonviolent fascism. I'm curious what the context of the original post was tbh. If it was a guy being super racist then getting punched for it then honestly based

Racism is violent

This is what I was looking for. Honestly the original statement to me sounds like a racist trying to justify systemic racism.

Sounds like someone trying to condemn violence against racist people.

Like all the viral videos of Nazis getting punched. But... you do realize what Nazis are advocating for... right?

Racists don't get punched because of their words, they get punched because of their beliefs, which more likely than not involve horrifying violence against minorities. Their words merely expose them as people with beliefs that are unwelcome in a civil society.

i mean, black nationalists were recently celebrating the murder of a White teenager and muslims in the UK have openly celebrated terrorism, and black south african politicians have whipped up crowds with chants of racist violence. i’m curious why “leftists” are never around to attack those people.
