The latter.
The same goes for MLK's "teachings." Black folks had been turning the other cheek and silently protesting decades before MLK was relevant. He was simply able to mobilize blacks and the rest of the nation toward peaceful change, which is different from believing he actually taught us about the power and meaning of words.
And this isn't about being a Christian or even about hate or hateful people. It's simply about what humans do when they feel threatened for whatever reasons. That's what the racist structure is about.

Well, what do you think President Obama asked us to do based on his acceptance speech? We all have different perspectives of how President Obama's words resonated with us. We can get caught in the semantics or we can take effective and meaningful actions.
President Obama also said that it is going to take awhile to do what we have to do on the same page, in one accord.
I beg to differ about the Christian behavior displayed by those who posted "F*** the N******" Why would an Chinese national want to use those words when it is inherent in their culture not to manifest personal hatreds and anger? No, if anything, these comments were made by a person of African descent living in American whose ancestors were slaves... They were just a extreme McCain/Palin supporters.
And what is racist structure? I think that racism is inherently a neuropsychological pathology--much like multi-symptomatic mixed-episode schizo-affective disorder with a substance addiction... Or like dysthymia...
Are you saying a racist structure is a fabrication in their mind?
