Either you believe in protected speech, and everyone should expect the same protections, or you believe in free speech, and everyone should expect the same freedoms.Racists have the same freedom of speech as anyone else...what they don't have..what no one has, is consequence free speech. Protecting a persons free speech does not require that we protect a person from the consequences of their speech, which they have freely availed themselves of.
Whining about racism while constantly making racist comments doesn't really speak well for your sincerity.
If a person decides to say racist shit, or to use their voice to contribute to inequality..then other people can freely decide to call them racist nitwits, other people can freely decide to point out that they are ignorant assholes who get shit laughably wrong. Other people can decide not to support them economically. Other people can decide not to support those who are affiliated with them economically. While your idea of free speech is convenient for white supremacists, it is not free speech..and you leverage the concept as criticism -against- the free speech of those who are not white supremacists. You are convinced that those people, utilizing their free speech, will lead us down a dark..dark path. How, who knows. When, who knows. Hasn't happened yet. Meanwhile, racists engaging in their free speech -have- lead us down a dark path. We are here, living it. Their speech has consequences, not just for them..but for others. They would prefer more of the latter and less of the former....historically they've gotten their way on that.
You are not a freeze peach warrior. Your are a free speech grifter, for the normalizing language of white supremacy.
Quote:You've made it your responsibility by claiming to be an agent for the (non-white-supremacist) truth. You've declared that while you won't bother to actually help anyone, or to consider policy ideas that would help, or to cite a source to get $150 into poor kids' hands (offer still stands btw), you are definitely willing to be a mouthpiece for the PC Left.Your education remains your own responsibility.
Quote:Nope. I'm just a guy who values free speech, and believes in rights, privileges and responsibilities that are extended universally to all citizens, not preferentially with respect to a divisive narrative about demographics.You are responsible for the things that come out of your mouth.
