so what you’re saying is in essence its the same thing as going in to work and calling your boss a n\*\*\*\*r and you being able to sue him when he fires you on the spot. dont get it twisted i see where you’re comming from but i also think there is a bit of common sense on what you can say and where whether it be written or spoken.

kinda like going to the million man march and wearing a KKK robe… sure you can do it but you’re going to have to deal with its consequences.
