Thanks for sharing a bit about your life. I'm very proud of you (however much that means) and agree 100% with what you wrote.

However, I have also been on the receiving end. The childhood experience of watching racists shout slurs at my parents in a grocery store has permanently impacted my perspective.

Many try to ignore or debate with racists for years, and the violence you see often is the last resort.
