            ok now were the perpetrators protected by the state? did the media spin up defense after defense of them? or did they use it to stoke racial fervor about the need to protect white children?

              That’s all irrelevant, because someone killed those people over bullshit race crap. That is racism, and it was lethal. We need to counter racism in all its forms if we want to unite the proletariat, because even person-to-person racism in private with no structural protection is harmful and sectarian.

              ok now were the perpetrators protected by the state?

              Just the same as the Buffalo shooting, same as the Christchurch mosque shootings. Life in prison, no parole. Again, not that it’s relevant; it’s still racism even if you’re not protected.

              I asked how you define racism, because I can’t understand why you keep suggesting that structural support is required for racial supremacy bullshit to become racism. It’s not a prerequisite. Racism is racism, it’s just more powerful when a state or society institutionalizes it.
