just do you. its the best way tbh

Quick verbal gut punch, then move on with my life. Something like "Yeah, burn getting a tan" or "Least I can dance!"

Let them be. You can't just turn them into something they're not, unfortunately.

Don't.It's not worth it.

Theres no way to do it. Delusion can't be disproven if they actually believe it unfortunately.

Ask them how'd they feel if a white man were to murder their loved ones. Would they put emphasis on their race like they would if a black person did the killing, or would race be irrelevant in this white on white crime?

I tried that once on someone. I got kind of a stumped reaction though they still tried coming up with some cringe worthy answer.

You don't have to. I was joking. Seriously, just ignore it! Be the better man…

It's not worth it. More times than none, you can't sway ignorant people.

As the wise men said don't argue with them fools!

I would recommend not to bother and just live your life the best you can. If reasoned arguments won't sway them, next to nothing will.

Just laugh at them and walk away, tbh. Infuriates me when people do that to me, but it always makes me think that maybe I'm in the wrong regarding whatever we were arguing about.

Has that ever worked? All you're gonna do by saying that is make them think they're justified in attacking you full on and come across as just as bad as he is, probably making him think he's justified in his view point.

Besides, you're the one talking stereotypes here (Well, in your 2nd post). Maybe BlazingLovatic is a white person in North Africa where there were hundreds of thousands of European slaves in the 18th Century, as mentioned in the OP.

A lot of North Africans are actually caucasian and they're only racist towards black people.

And racist people can only change by experience. It's pointless to try and teach them anything. I say cut them out of your life.

I've thought about this before. I feel like a lot of people think they can get away with racist ideologies because currently in society (and from history) racism is an established occurrence - what I mean by that is that racists are aware that other people share their views and so they may feel that they can rely on this to 'back them up' in a sense.

If this is true, then maybe a way of overcoming racism is to isolate individual incidences. When experiencing racism, you shouldn't react as if the things they come out with have been said by others and has had some effect in the past. It would give them ground to stand on, so to speak. I think it would be better to make out as if racism isn't a prevalent issue - rather, that this person is behaving irrationally and what they have said makes no sense (after all, racism is ridiculous).

If you were to isolate a person's views in this way, make them feel as if what they believe is irrational and nonsensical to a rational and intelligent individual, then they might falter.

Don't react to racism as if it were simply a viewpoint that you find offensive and disagree with, because IMO this portrays the issue as if it were a war with people fighting to be the victor.

Instead, demonstrate to racists that their thinking is irrational and illogical.

(I don't think I worded that very well , but nm)

I didn't want a quote that would get me a WP!

Don't bite. Sometimes they know they can rile you up, so don't give them the satisfaction. Some people are ignorant, and no amount of information will change their mind.

Ignore them and be the better person, and always remember that you're only related to them by blood, not ideologies. Don't allow yourself to get lumped up with ten.
