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

I think the mistake is in thinking that people can be racist, because this implies racism is something intrinsic to someone's very being, and thus irreparable. I'd say it's more helpful to view people as holding racist views (i.e. racism is what you do, not what you are).

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.
