Engaging racists in debate is a waste of fucking time. If they were susceptible to rational or logical arguments they likely wouldn't be racists.Why would I waste my time engaging in open dialogue with racists? Besides that, it's not my fucking job to change their mind or make them a better person. The onus is on them to not be a shitty person. My goal is always going to be make sure their racists views can't harm others, and if the only way to accomplish that is to make people afraid to be openly racist, then so be it.

You don't beat racists by destroying their lives. That just breeds resentment and reinforces their beliefs. You beat them by providing a counter-example, challenging their beliefs directly. Over and over and over.
