Can't you get criminal charges for racism on twitter in the US? This sh*ts disgusting

[theworldismine13]

I never understood the whole, "yeah it's racist and vulgar but they should be allowed to say and do whatever" argument. fukk them . Nearly unrestricted free speech allows for scum like the Westboro Baptist Church to do their thing.

it also allows things like rap music, dummy

most of the videos i posted in this thread are borderline racist if not fully racist

but its a free country so its all good

Rap music doesn't offend me so I don't give a fukk. Fred Phelps and those like him offend nearly everybody. So fukk his free speech. Hate speech shouldn't be protected.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

People in here are questioning the value of free speech??

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

see the thing is, who draws the line for what is acceptable and not. what is acceptable to one person is absolutely not acceptable to others. how about having hip hop outlawed? thats what would happen if certain people had their way here. what about political dissidents? anyone that doesnt agree with our governmental policies? thats why freedom of speech is important, it protects us from the government, and from people that would tell us what we can and cant say.

basically all the people in here advocating for restriction of speech seem to be from other countries, well dont worry about us we're doing ok.

Jail? nah. But should it be held against them in job interviews or other walks of life? sure. Racists should be pointed out in society and have a sign above their heads that says "uses N-word"

Ehh, I see ur point, but in this day and age, alot of people are still racist...it's just not COOL to be racist.

A company could have a closet racist CEO and he would fire an outwardly racist employee b/c it could cost his company image, which in turn costs $$$$.

Hate speech should definitely be protected, becuase one man's opinion is another man's hate speech, rap music has and can be considered hate speech

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

the internet made it cool to be racist

Only read the first few posts.

Free speech. All that needs to be said.

Its fukking scary that you guys want ppl locked up and in trouble for saying shyt YOU dont like.

I never understood the whole, "yeah it's racist and vulgar but they should be allowed to say and do whatever" argument - Then you are not a very smart person.

say and do whatever - They cannot do whatever they want. What they can do is very clearly defined by law.

Rap music doesn't offend me so I don't give a fukk - The amount of ppl who are offended by rap music far outweighs the ppl who dont mind it. You cant be that god damn stupid son, .

You prolly just trolling tho, so carry on I guess.

Not advocating it being illegal or limiting ones viewpoints for the sake of being PC, but there should be a team of anti-hate web goons to go after these ignorant and racist tweeters. Public outrage and Internet activism could create more accountability and have the idiots thinking twice before tweeting some dumb shyt. Don't let these people hide behind a computer screen but put them and their personal information in the spotlight for the rest of the Internet community to justly abuse. Point them out to the world and muddy their chances at potential schools, jobs, and social groups. Harass and make them feel the hate they chose to broadcast to the world by having them own up to their words.

I think most people would take a couple months in jail over this sort of vendetta. Let's be real, if a bunch of vigilantism like that was unleashed on the Coli a ton of misogyny and racism and homophobia posted in TLR would destroy hundreds of posters' lives. I'd rather they get taught and get sensible rather than get 'harassed'

I hate when muhfukkkas say this. Don't get it twisted. It's fukk you UK for me, but I respect their laws on anti racism speech. fukk that, let them fakkits face the consequences if they dare utter hate speech or tweets. If the US was to create this law, I would easily be able to adapt from not using racial slurs on this forum. This should go for black, white, Asian folks who say racist shyt on the public domain or any other social network too.

And some of y'all need to miss me with all this "I'd rather have racism in my face than behind my back" shyt. No you don't. Any white person that says some straight up racist shyt to me could easily catch a fade. I'm not trying to have that, so I want them to keep their racism to themselves before I catch a case. Ask those professional black, arab soccer players that played in Spain or Italy in the 90s and early 00s if they would rather have racism in their faces. What the fukk you think they're gonna tell you?

Dude's keep forgetting the music they're listening to would be banned under their new "hate crime" laws.

It's funny because they're not only defending hate speech, but the people who use it. A lot of these fukks would wish you out of existence if they could and you're defending their right to shyt all over you? Just to prove some sort of impartiality on a messageboard?

GTFOH. And comparing rap music to protesting military funerals using hate speech? Come on. Come on guys. I get it, you guys are "braniacs," but it's okay to be biased against something other than religion and politics. :smugobama:

you're just not thinking it through. Do you think everyone who has typed "gook" or "fakkit" on the coli should go to jail or not?

I smell a gubment plant in here.
"Hey guys, what's with this "free speach thing" anyways "uh, where dey do dat at anyway?"

You gotta take the good with the bad. IMHO. I stomach Westboro and such for 2 reasons.
1. If ever someone doesn't like what i'm saying I reserve the legal right to tell them to go fuk themselves.

2. Truly ignorant shyt usually works to to the determent of the cause. ANYONE who might say, "see racism is dead because a black man is president, need only look at "random southern twitter account" to dead that idea.

Once you start chipping away at things like this you sometimes start a process that's not so easily shut down.

Think of this...C.A.Cs
HOw many of you b*stards would be paying a ticket right now?
Do you want to defend the term "whitey" in front of a white judge and explain why it's not offensive?
