And they will do that every day.

Do you still call it a "freedom of speech"?
Do you really expect a truthful answer from that ? Keep in mind, that at any point things could spark off and go from just yelling to much worse. I'm sure the spouse and children would already be scared at that point.

For instance, this is just plain uncalled for.

That video is awful. And there are so many more like it, which is even sadder.

I am paraphrasing a comment I read elsewhere—

To be allowed to behave like this with impunity—this group is the most privileged in this country. They can do and say anything they want because of “oppression” and “racism”.

And I think it’s only going to get worse.

Unfortunately, I think you are right. Although, what happens when the bullied, decide to make a stand...it's going to get ugly. That pendulum will swing way back, which isn't good either.
