When you call someone a racist, you're directly interfering with their freedom of speech.

We need to pass a law against calling people racist. It's the only way to protect the First Amendment.
There is a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech.
@USAalltheway: There is more than enough written here for anyone to know the truth about you. Game over pal!

Yeah and the truth is that I'm an ordinary American and you're a liberal.
@USAalltheway: Guilty as charged. All the evidence is there for anyone who cares to read it. These are the last words I have for you!
Sometimes it almost seems as if you're 'role playing'. I mean I agree with you about 75% of the time, but then it almost seems like you're taking the piss out of conservatives a quarter of the time. I'm not trying to be abrasive, I'm just being forthcoming.

@CopperCicada: I've come to respect you a lot in the last two hours, comrade! We've never really crossed swords or anything, and I've always known you were an intelligent person, but this has been a one of the more productive evenings I've spent in conversation on SW.

Actually, liberals are the ones who are racist. Everybody knows that.

That's a racist thing to say. You just proved my point.
I am objective enough to know that when I call out a racist, they have proven themselves to be a racist. I wont be silenced in speaking the truth and any racist should have the balls to admit they are what they are if they have the courage to hate on and discriminate against other races of people.
USAalltheway · 31-35, M
That just proves my point. Clearly liberals aren't so tolerant after all.
@USAalltheway: Ok, so youre trolling..ok...I can accept that more than if you were too stupid to understand this conversation
USAalltheway · 31-35, M
So if you don't agree with someone then they automatically must be a troll? That just proves that liberals aren't so tolerant after all.
Hate speech is speech which attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. ... A website which uses hate speech may be called a hate site.
This is getting old fast.@USAalltheway:

That's just academic ivory league liberal bullcrap.
Ok@USAalltheway:
When you call someone a racist it may be because they actually did or said something racist. Or perhaps what you're really saying is that racism doesn't exist at all.

I will give you credit for an imagination.
I think DixieChick has room in her house for all the "hawks" to hide in if war does happen. You might want to stay in touch with her.

@Pfuzylogic: I think she'd let me stay. She has a crush on me.
Pfuzylogic · M
@USAalltheway:
You have my blessing. I will say you back your arguments up better than her but that is a low hurdle to jump.

Dems love freedom of speech... When they're talking
The freedom to speak and share an idea or belief is not the same thing as a hate remark against someone because of the color of their skin sexual orientation race or religion etc.@newstu:

@Iamnolongerhere: did I say it was?
Nobody has taken away your right to speak. As someone pointed out hate speech is not illegal. @USAalltheway:

I agree. Some people may have justifiable reasons to to fear a subset of the population, for whatever reason.

If I get jumped by a dozen kids in boy scout uniforms and they beat me to a pulp, take my wallet and leave me unconscious. I think I'd have a pretty good reason to fear boy scouts. If I vent that fear of boy scouts, other good boy scouts will come forth and say "sorry, but that's not really what most boy scouts are like"

Black people can point to examples of being mistreated by white people, and white people can point to examples of being mistreated by black people. Letting people vent their fears without calling them racist gives us all a better chance to cross the color lines and reach out to one another as human beings rather than keeping our distance from one another as black or white human beings.

Any law passed to prevent someone from using the term "racist" would be struck down in the courts as violating the First Amendment.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@USAalltheway: Sure you can. You have been in this thread.
USAalltheway · 31-35, M
Because I can delete liberals' comments and block them. We need a way to delete liberals' comments in the real world.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@USAalltheway: Delete away if you wish. But comments from people who care about others will never stop commenting, ever, in the real world. It is important to bear witness to evil and to speak truth to power. Get used to it--you have a long life ahead.
When someone calls you a racist , they are not interfering with your right to speak.
USAalltheway · 31-35, M
Yes they are.
Cierzo · M
It is much easier to ignore that word. After all, it does not mean anything any more, it has been too over-used.

either you're doing sarcastic trolling or you're just a racist yourself imo
USAalltheway · 31-35, M
So in other words you're a liberal.
Pfuzylogic · M
They are setting out racist behaviors.
You might be ignorant of what you are doing.
