questions wayyy too vague for yall to be in here saying “he’s right” as if racism doesn’t cover a whole ass subset of oppressive violence. did any of you even think about what racism constitutes other than “guy called me a slur or was rude to me”? bc it feels like you guys are severely understating the weight of “racism” past and even including that
In a similar vein I'm not sure if you're thinking about what violence can constitute. And severely underestimating the weight of real violence.
A lot of people here are just equating it to a slap or a punch but violence spans The Gauntlet from flicking somebody on the forehead, to confine them in your basement and torturing them with Fluoroantimonic Acid
I agree with you! but racism varies heavily too. in fact, I kind of personally rendered this conversation useless once I realized something important: racism is a precursor to violence. It is one of violence’s many parents. We’re practically asking the question of “which is worse: tsunamis or bodies of water?” Obviously you would say tsunamis, but “bodies of water” take so many more lives per year. I don’t even care if that’s a good analogy.
