The harsh truth with free speech is that it allows for racist, sexist, -phobic, blasphemous, and other forms of disrespectful expressions of communication.

Do they have to be thugs in uggs before they get your support ?

Not a single person.

Everyone was just fine with taunting that elderly man.
There is a video of a lady (kind of behind the elder) who says, “You guys are a mob. That’s what you are.” She was pretty disgusted. That’s all I saw.

Looks like just another slow day at Berkeley... you reap what you sow.

Do you feel the same about anti- white hate posts on Twitter? Or is that " free speech" and acceptable because, slavery.

Do you see anyone suggesting that free speech should be curtailed?

They may be sympathizers and/or political allies these days. But just because they're in Kentucky, that doesn't make them culturally Southerners in the traditional sense.


This isn't meant as a defense of southerners, nor to suggest that southerners wouldn't act like this. Just pointing out who these folks are.
I think you have to be pretty feeble-minded to attribute acts of terrible behavior to one geographic area or political affiliation.

Which is why so many in this forum do just that....

No, I am just making a rather obvious of statement of how a person could get away with this or justify this.

The hate they spew is downright ugly.

Just like the hateful anti- white left. One of which falsely accused a white person of the horrible tragic murder of a 7 yr old Houston girl.
What if the NA were harassing the whiteys? That would be ok, right?
Cause Wounded Knee and smallpox blankets ; though it's unlikely whites today are old enough to have done that.
Bottom line- hatred and harassment are bad- except when against whites; then it's " Social Justice"

I think where this conversation goes awry is when people begin ascribing the behaviors of a few to a huge group that is totally uninvolved. It’s become the childish argument of grown Americans and it’s absurd.

A bunch of boorish poorly-behaved young men acted terribly at a march. That’s the reality here. Blaming Trump voters for this or any other isolated incident is ridiculous, and goes a long way in further alienating people over petty and silly things.

I could just as easily find a thread where conservatives are piling on all liberals for something a person or group of persons did. It goes both ways, and it’s beyond retarded, people.
