    HUh.......there is a thin line between

    A. having the freedom of speaking your mind, saying what you want.

    B. Making judgment and conceptions of which persons is better than another person solely on the traits of skin color?

    I dint' think they were even remotely connected.

    Actually I think free speech is just that...free speech. The freedom to speak your mind, regardless of what it is. Which can be anything, including racist, prejudice and sexist.

    If you allow it, you have to be prepared for the fact that people won't always say what you want them to.

    One doesn't cancel out the other. Justifiable or not, they're independently existent.

    Free speech is allowing you to express yourself however way you want it, even if it's something not popular like expressing racism. I did a video speaking on it a while back. You may have the right to speak your mind, but there are consequences to your actions.
