But what can they expect us to do?

There's only so much of these blatantly racist words and actions we can take.

They started in 2007 with Obama's rise in America, they got their racist shit ass President Trump, they unleashed - and after 15 years of them acting like it's 1919 and they can just run around lynching us . . .

We are done.

I know it's probably going to upset some non black and/or non minority DU'ers - but it's the truth. I'm done.

I'm done with these racist shit asses - a lot of us are.

You're right vercetti2021 Feb 2022 #64

He was slapping him around in a way which didn't harm him that much JI7 Feb 2022 #71

Didn't harm him that much" isn't a legal defense. brooklynite Feb 2022 #79

So what ? JI7 Feb 2022 #89

So he deserves to face whatever the legal consequences are... brooklynite Feb 2022 #93

Your post reminded me of this quote from John F. Kennedy: CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2022 #85

"Get the white slapped off him"?! I'm white. Is that bad? Hortensis Feb 2022 #70

Doubtful that a racial slur would be considered "fighting words." Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #99

It's not freedom of speech to get in other people's faces like that and spew shit JI7 Feb 2022 #109

It actually is freedom of speech. You're basically talking about "verbal assault." Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #119

Getting in people's face like that can be taken as a threat and people can defend themselves JI7 Feb 2022 #121

It can be taken that way, sure. That doesn't mean responding with force will be legal. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #128

A reasonable person could someone yelling racist slurs to be a threat. JI7 Feb 2022 #129

Just slurs alone likely wouldn't cross that threshold. That's just name calling. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #130

This specific case was not at a protest . JI7 Feb 2022 #131

So what? That was just the example I gave. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #132

Of course it makes a different. Just as you need permission JI7 Feb 2022 #133

Other court cases have upheld the N-word as a fighting word. NutmegYankee Feb 2022 #116

Also this was directed at someone which I think makes a difference JI7 Feb 2022 #118

And others have ruled that it isn't a fighting word. Jedi Guy Feb 2022 #120

if he presses charges his name and face become public for using the N word. He might not want that Demovictory9 Feb 2022 #127
