Is cancel culture a violation of freedom of speech?

@SW-User As I once told someone on EP,
“If you ain’t hanging from a tree, set on fire with your junk cut off, you’re [b]not[/b] a victim of a lynch mob !” 😳

@bijouxbroussard The Salem witch trials beg to differ. You can consult a dictionary if you disagree.

@SW-User I don’t have to “consult” a thing except recent newspapers where politicians getting pummeled by the media while [b]alive[/b] in their comfortable homes complain about being “victims of lynch mob culture” which is hyperbole of the worst kind. And I certainly don’t have to go back as far as the Salem witch trials. Black people (and a few white people who associated with us) were being hanged, burned alive, dismembered and castrated for the amusement of white crowds throughout the American South—as recently as the mid [b]20th century[/b]. Men, women and children. Our government passed “anti-lynching” legislation in 2020, and it was mostly symbolic. Feel free to look [b]that[/b] up. 😳

@bijouxbroussard And I don't have to stop using a word based on what you tell me to do. I'm a grown man. Why don't you try acting like a grown woman? If it's in the dictionary, it stays. It is not a word used to disparage an entire race.

It's a word. Get over it.

@SW-User I wasn’t telling [b]you[/b] to say or do anything different. I was relating something that [b]I[/b] told someone. [b]You[/b] objected—I explained the context.

@bijouxbroussard I live in Ireland, not America. Take this to someone else.

Do not patronise me again.

@SW-User No worries. You do you. Bye.

@bijouxbroussard Yep. I have false memories of soldiers everywhere all the time. See ya!
