In reality, racists are installed in positions of authority and power for life because..not in spite of, their racism. They are held in high esteem because, not in spite of, their racism.
It sucks to be a poor racist....but that probably has more to do with being poor, and only when moving outside of their own circles, which are vast. How the relationship between society, racism, and violence plays out, is that violence is so negatively valued that violence engaged in specifically to stem some racist x is treated more harshly than the racism which compelled the response.
It seems to me like middle class racists are most likely to suffer.
Like if you own a small business and your racism is displayed on Twitter, the next day your business hasn’t enough costumers to stay afloat.
But I probably am over estimating it. For every person on the news whose life is ruined, there are probably tons more who suffer no consequences.
This whole back and forth between poca/yon is so weird to me. Not Yon so much because I know he’s a faker.
But...this seems obvious to me
It’s unacceptable to beat someone up for being a racist cunt. People who do that should deal with the legal consequences. I think everyone agrees with that much. It’s just...we don’t feel bad for the racist cunt. A more extreme example would be if someone murders a guy who raped their child. They shouldn’t have done it and they deserve to go to jail for doing it. But no one feels bad for the rapist that he got murdered. 🤷🏼♀️
