If someone outs themselves as a racist, is the best thing to mob ostracize them? Disagreement of course can be voiced, but I think it imperative to show that hate cannot break or remove the power of love and forgiveness....these things must be shown as stronger

Yes I like that wording, fascist thoughts or actions. I believe in redemption, that people can change. I don’t know that this can happen on twitter but in person relationships can I think change minds

If it was just that actions are racist then it wouldn't be different when different races do the same thing (ex the "N" word). At a minimum, intentions are necessary for racism, if not sufficient. Although the newspeak would label that colorism, cuz they want racism structural

By "what you do" I meant thinking as well as acting.

Excellent point. Racism is a belief, and any belief can change. In fact, I've found people most strongly hold to beliefs that represent reversals of previous beliefs. Reversal shows someone has thought the issue through rather than inheriting a belief from family or culture.

There is so very little true racism that occurs these days in western countries - most of it is just necessary discrimination.
