> The word racist is far more than a word, it is an ideology of hatred of white people. If a person saying "Nigger" is a provocation justifying violence against the person who said it (according to the left and blacks), and being labelled a racist is also justification enough for the left and blacks to commit violence against someone, then wouldn't by definition being called a racist be grounds for justifiable self defense? Thats the standard the woke, left, and media are setting and they don't even realize it. McCloskeys could have defended themselves in court with "They called us racists for being white, and thereby **threatened our lives** and provoked us. So we shot em." And I think people in the public would have sympathized with that very line of reasoning. Yes, the anti-white, woke violence and nonsense have gone on that long.
