    Can you provide a timestamp where violence is encouraged?

    There’s none and video never said explicitly anything about committing violence.

    What is weird about being anti-racist and pushing back against racism if one encounters it among people they know?

    Basically the video advocates for pushing back against injustices of the world - not only racism, but all of them; racism here is just an example. Here I’m trying to understand what does it imply and how it actually would look like in real world.

    Many people might simply not know that they’re acting racist and if you push back against them at that random moment (let’s call it aggressive approach), it looks like you’re picking up on them.

    They dig their heels to prove that there’s nothing wrong this and that joke.

    At this point there’s nothing you can say to change their mind. Your best bet would be simply excluding them from your friend list as an act of being anti-racist.

    On the other hand, if you talk to people on fair grounds, tell what you know about the subject without antagonising them (or maybe even without acknowledging their past mistakes), you’d get much easier time to get them to listen. Let’s call it diplomatic approach.

    I think that diplomatic approach works much better in the society where people are close: like families and friends
