I think its more than the racist words and racists violence are not two seperate entities that can be tackled independently

Ans thats what the person is attempting to do, essentially cut one head off the hydra knowing 2 more will emerge

The common link is not just the words, its not just the violence, its that and the infinite spectrum of ramnifications of people thinking there are greater and lesser people than themselves

Yes violent acts are worse than verbal acts Traumas should not be compared, all victems are valid, and words can be used violently.

But racism is bigger than words and violence, and saying “oh the racists violemce are worse than the racist words, we should be focusing in on the violence” is ignorant, and purposefully looks for trees and not the forest.

Racism is born of generational societal systemic level of suffering - it requires generational societal systemic levels of healing to reduce its harm.
