I agree that it is almost impossible to change the heart of a racist. Can't change what they don't possess!
However, I do believe that it is very important for others, whose behavior may be influenced, to understand that racism is not acceptable. That's why I continue to challenge racist dolts. Also, it is a lot of fun to give them all the rope they need, then watch them swinging in the wind!
As far as the barrage of abuse is concerned, it's not as though it really does me any damage. I certainly do not give two cents for the good opinion of racists. Frankly, provoking them into a full display of their evil opinions may do more good to influence the "others" mentioned above than I could ever do on my own. I recall how the violence and vituperation that was directed at the civil rights workers in the 1960 did so much to discredit the racist's point of view, especially when compared with the non-violent tactics used by Dr. King and his followers. So, a bit of abuse it hardly troubling!
