there is a huge difference between being harmed and being offended.

Saying is a "doing" otherwise there would be no protections for it at all. It's absolutely an action just as much as screaming fire in a movie theater is an action even if there really is no fire. People are sometimes put away in prison for speech, especially in Europe right now as far as the West goes. Inciting a riot is illegal in the US, and that comes from words.
The only difference is what is illegal and what isn't. So far it's not illegal to be a dumbass and spew out racist hate speech like they did at this public memorial service. It's your right to be a dumbass, as it should be. It doesn't matter if you do or don't do what you say, the saying is still an action, which is a doing.
And didn't you know? A word word word, word is a verb. I said a word word word, word is a verb (as well as talking and speaking etc).
Verb:
1.
a word used to describe
an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence, such as hear, become, happen.
Example: She
spoke to the victims of a tragic murder and racially charged the solemn memorial with hate speech against the very people that were in attendance.
bang and blame
But to add, and in conclusion, there is a time and place for it, in the forum of public debate and ideas, and they have been spewing this crap out all week everywhere at everyone. Did BLM really need to go to a memorial service and start trying to shame people in attendance due to their skin color? Seriously, it's a deeply sociopathic action on their part to do that to them.
