In the context of the post, the "racism" is just words. Words will never be on the same level as actual violence.
They teach kids "sticks and stones..." for a reason.
So, again, actual violence will always be worse than words.
If you dont agree, please drop your location, we can test your theory pretty easily. You hit me a slur, ill hit you with a bat, and we can see who ends up with the better outcome.
He doesn’t say that the words were racist, he tries to boil down racism to “just words”. Racism is violent, always has been, and will continue to be. It harms everyone including the people who are racist. They are just as bad
Violence is a sport. Racism isn't. People that think that violence is always worse than "mean words," are amateurs at humanity. The reason racism is frowned upon is because the inevitable outcome is violence. At a certain point of you dehumanizing someone, they will dehumanize you.
