Probably improve them immensely. First they will be millionaires, then they will have a reputation for defending the Constitution, civil rights etc.

Yes companies will be falling all over themselves to be the ones to hire the racist boob that won the right to yell "n***er". Maybe in your world or at your company, but not in the real world or at my company. Heck that bimbo that posted a picture of her flipping the bird at Arlington and got fired due to the uproar still hasn't found work in her chosen profession, and it's been a couple of years. Drag this out with all the publicity and the kids are toast from a hiring standpoint.

And if you think they'd collect millions, much less win their suit, then you are delusional.

Two black guests had to school Hannity on the 1st Ammendment last night. Not that Sean is a pinnacle of intellectual strength but he absolutely has no concept. He ended the segment shaking his head and telling both these guys they are wrong. He just looks foolish.

Nice.

Our universities and colleges became left-wing bastions during World War Two when the loyal American professors and undergraduates enlisted in the military. The 4F, homosexuals, and communists happily took over their posts and then indoctrinated a generation of public school teachers whose students entered the universities starting in the early 1960’s.

The enemy within has been fighting against America for over seventy years now and his trenches are still the schoolroom and his weapons are still the textbooks and the chalkboards.

Would they expel a towelhead who raped a student? Chopped a head?

There is no free speech on most college campuses, especially government funded. There is only liberal- approved free speech.All other speech is restricted speech.

“I am disappointed in Megyn Kelly who prides herself on being a legal expert doing two segments on this situation from aan emotional standpoint ignoring the legal issues. “

Yes, she was clearly not being “fair and balanced” on this matter. Then Hannity had two Black conservatives on, and they were both completely behind the notion that this was a First Amendment issue despite the despicable racist nature of the chant. But like Kelly before him, Hannity was telling both of these guys that “they were wrong!”
And finally there’s this issue of “who can use the “N” word. I have a black friend who uses it more or less continually. He even “greets” his grown children with the phrase “how’s it going nixxer.” And I’ve personally witnessed him “saying hello” to every black person in a convenience store using the sam phrase. To my mind, you can’t have it both ways.

Why didn’t the frat boys just say they were pretending to be rappers?

I wish someone would have “taken issue” when the Black Panthers put out calls for the murder of whites, including specifically white infants, before the Zimmerman trial. But in this nation, there’s one law for anti “people of color” racism, and another law, or no law, for anti-white racism.

The two OU students weren’t arrested or charged with a crime. They were expelled from college. For all we know, their lawyers could end up getting the college to re-admit them. Meanwhile, the other singing students weren’t penalized for anything at all, as far as we know.

I’m guessing that the “black panther” espousing violence against whites wasn’t a college student.

But, I agree with you that OU had better be evenhanded.

I have yet to see any race-baiter say anything similar about Jackson, Obama, Sharpton or any other racist of color. Until the race baiters do, they earn no respect from me for their race-based hypocracy and double standards.

As far as winning, its almost certain: Here is a short list of the Academic Freedom of Speech cases - some on offensive racist speech: http://www.volokh.com/posts/1172536284.shtml

Oh and if at your company you refuse to hire white people for the same behavior other races do that’s called discrimination and may be actionable since its double standard application of fake outrage.

Sean Hannity was pathetic last night, working himself into a frenzy. At one point he had two black guests on (I don’t remember their names but have seen them on Fox many times before), who were trying to talk some calm common sense, but he brushed them aside with “You’re wrong.”

Then where are you any less a hypocrite than they are?

Nothing is certain.

No, it's called taking into account a person's character, or lack thereof, and how they might represent the company to the outside world.

Kelly has the best show on FNC but sometimes she goes off the deep end, like when she said Santa was white then apologized for saying it.

1. Because I do not apply a double standard to bigots.
2. USSC has already ruled offensive speech is protected.
3. Its discriminatory application of those standards based on race.

Of course not.

2. USSC has already ruled offensive speech is protected.

Not under all circumstances. The concept of "fighting words" has been accepted for some time and court rulings have found that such speech isn't protected. And there is precedent that indicates that language designed to inflict severe emotional distress is not protected either. You think the university will have a problem digging up a few dozen people who claim emotional distress from this?

3. Its discriminatory application of those standards based on race.

Nonsense. It's discrimination against bigots who, last time I checked, are not a legally protected class.

So if I cause “severe emotional distress” to homosexuals by opposing gay marriage, to jihadists by saying “kill them all”, to whites by calling them crackers, to illegals by calling them illegals (you get my drift) then my speech is actionable by state actors?

You need to think this through a bit amigo. The answer to speech you don’t like is speech you do like. The whole notion of “hate speech” is an affront to the First Amendment and freedom. Actions should be actionable not speech.

As far as emotional distress goes that was rejected by the supreme court in flag burning cases. There is no right to not be offended, if there was lefties would be in prison from the offensive speech they have been doing for decades.

Fighting words require physical presence.

It was private property off campus and protected under freedom of speech and freedom of association.

Here is you race card back, its been canceled do to overuse.
