Another reason not to delete racist posts is to keep up with how racists are coaching their rants. Sometimes it may be better to ignore what is written or said, but sometimes it might be a wiser course of action to know what they are saying so that you can easily refute it with facts.

Take for instance the above statement about the reasons why White veterans (from the UK, I presume) fought in the war (which I presume is World War 2). Besides the important fact that there is no way that of knowing the reasons why all White soldiers fought in that war, and besides anecdotal and other evidence for other reasons why White soldiers fought in that war, that statement has a faulty assumption that the only people who fought in that war in Great Britain were White people.

Even today, there may be some people who believe that. For those who may be receptive to reason, here's one website that refutes that pernicious lie with photographs from those times:

Here's a summary of that photographical exhibition:

"The African soldiers who fought for the British Empire in World War II are remembered in an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester, UK.

"This is the untold story of the forgotten heroes of the Commonwealth," says Zimbabwean artist Raphael Chikukwa, the curator of the exhibition."

And this doesn't even address the African-American soldiers who fought in Great Britain and the rest of Europe during World War I (and World War II).
