There certainly are plenty of idiots that proclaim any political opposition is racism. Some claim pollution is racist, statistics, criminal justice, personal preference, standardized testing, etc… Somehow as a society we need to get a grip on these false accusations. There are restrictions on freedom of speech and it’s not the government that is doing it. It is our current “witch hunt” society. Much of this “freedom of speech” talk is not necessarily talking about the actual legal definition, but about the spirit of the right as it pertains to an individual in society. A core value of being American. We should have the ability to critique and discuss issues without fear of false repercussions. But I’m afraid those days are drawing to a close. Do we really have “freedom of speech” when critique of a President is deemed racist? What is to prevent your boss from firing you for those “racist” sentiments? That’s not freedom of speech.
