When the troll starts killing people, yes, I have a problem with that.

Then use the law and police and change the law if need be. If that can't be done, then maybe the problem is more complex than just racism as such.
Police say a white 18-year-old gunman livestreamed his attack on a Tops store in Buffalo, killing 10 and injuring three others. The suspect posted a so-called manifesto online detailing his plan to target a Black community and discussing his white supremacist ideology. The suspect wrote that he was motivated by the "Great Replacement" theory boosted by Republican lawmakers and Fox News hosts like Tucker Carlson, arguing that immigration is being used to replace and diminish the influence of white people.

And you expect a negative reaction to their rhetoric to prevent racist killings?
Of course, I condemn it without reservation. But as noted by some posters, that may not be enough, in and of itself.
I've heard it said that the best way to fight an idea is with another idea. I think we were heading in the right direction when the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing, but I think where things started to go awry was around the late 80s/early 90s when the narrative started to change.
I mentioned in another thread earlier this morning that one of the early promoters of white nationalism back in those days was Geraldo Rivera. Once the racists made the talk show circuit, which was ostensibly to ridicule, mock, and make them look like a bunch of circus freaks, that's when we started heading in the wrong direction, which has brought us to where we are now. I knew then that it would eventually come to no good.
I saw it in the 1990s, with Ruby Ridge and the OKC bombing, the rise of the militia movement which is still around today. They also took to the internet. Around the same time, I attended a conference where they showed a short film called "The Color of Fear," which showed some men of different races discussing race, which I thought was quite moving and eye-opening for me at the time. At the time, I thought that if we could have more of these kinds of discussions in society, we might be able to head back in a more positive direction.
I tried to look for it, to see if I could find it posted somewhere, but it seems it's only available through this site: The Color of Fear (Part 1) (diversitytrainingfilms.com)
But of course, they can't just post it. Someone has to make money from it ($15 for a 24-hour rental), which sort of reveals where a large part of problem has been.

This killer was a leftist who hated Fox News.
Leftism is dangerous. Is that your point?

Your lies are boring and pointless. Feel free to debate with facts.

Who?
What “cultural differences” are you talking about? I have been told that I am misunderstanding your point.
To me, bigotry is bigotry. There is no difference if you are upset about someone moving into your neighbourhood because they are black, or your are upset because they speak with an accent, or follow a different religion. Same thing.
You understand I didn’t invent great replacement theory. If you want to understand it listen to those who promote it. Listen to what they are saying and look a what they are doing.

The displaying of the Nazi swaztika in public has been banned in Victoria Australia.
People who want to come to Australia to preach on such ideologies have been refused entry.

Here's one. It's easy to google:
In parts of the manifesto, he claimed he was an “authoritarian left-wing[er],” said he hated Christianity and also said he was interested in “green nationalism.”
