>At the same time, insulting black people or homosexuals is not OK, The problem is that those are not okay, they should be okay. Free speech doesn't mean free from responsibility, so you should still face consequences for whatever you say. If you insult someone you should expect an insult or a libel suit or a fist to the face back, but you shouldn't be barred from insulting someone to start with just like we are free to insult the POTUS and then face any music.
