I'm not saying that we should "pander" to racists and let them spread racist propaganda without consequence. That's an extreme take of my expressed views. I'm arguing that having an easy way to censor speech can cut both ways. It's rarely the case that the system works the way we want it to, and there should be more independent oversight for these cases at the very least. It's about being careful about what we wish for.
I also believe that we should be exploring more ways to fight racism other than censoring it outright. Censorship seems like an easy answer, but it's not going "cure" the racists and has unwanted side-effects on society. I think racism is a complex issue that needs more deeper solutions.
