The point of the video is that we have to engage racists in order to help them understand why their racism is wrong.

Not everyone can do it, not every situation will allow for it and not every racist is a candidate for change, but it would be unfortunate not to try when a realistic opportunity presents itself.

Even if your target refuses the message, the interaction may be beneficial to any spectators.

I watched a third of this. I personally have nothing to do with racists whether the person is a family member or not. Once I see you as racist we are done. This is because we need the best for all of our people without playing stupid games.

Not sure that the racists have to be actively sought out. A number of my family are racists and will often make racist comments to declare how unracist they are. Maybe you didn't make it far enough into the video to also see the segment on kneeling at a football game, but (again) I see that without having to seek it out.

@chalupacabre Many in my family are the same type of racists.
