If I am punished for using racist words to describe a minority is that suppression of my freedom of speech? It is illegal to discriminate against minorities, it should be illegal to do the same against whites and Asians. It's that simple, any effort to paint it as anything else is just misdirection and hyperbole.
- freejazz 4y agoIf you are punished by the gov't, yes. If it's not the gov't, then no. Basic 1st amd stuff right there.

We can easily live our lives without declaring our stance on everything ever and shouting them on social media platforms. Don’t say anything you can’t openly stand behind. We make those decisions sometimes hundreds of times a day when dealing face to face with people. We self-censor every day with our family and various social groups to avoid social and professional consequences. I don’t understand why that is so hard to translate when we go online.
