According to Sonny Hostin on The View, being anti-Jewish is free speech.
Is it OK if I call Sonny the N-word?
Does Sonny think that being anti-black or anti-trans or anti-gay free speech? Highly doubtful.
Making anti-Jewish statements is, actually, free speech.
What does she call anti-minority speech? No doubt she wouod,call it “hate speech”
Sonny is a through and through racist herself- but her brand of racism is perf3ctky ok with the left.
Being anti-White is clearly free speech. It's also necessary, per Ibram Kendi, in order to be an "antiracist". When did Jews become "special"?
Now ... being antiBLACK is RACIST!!!! Everybody knows that!
Might be time to level the playing field - as a Christian I don't have the right to walk into a restaurant and demand anti-Christian graffiti be removed. And because of that there's not a lot of Christian graffiti - and if there was I'd be carrying a permanent marker - not a sense of outrage.
I don't want to live in a world where I must be afraid to condemn Hamas... or excessive black school violence. Or any number of other newly minted protected classes. It's time for American Jews to give up their protected status. And every other group that's learned it's an easy way to get protection from hurt feelings.
Judged by actions... not tribe or protected class. Besides, since Jews are now being clumped in with 'white men' and 'white people' they need to toughen up. Imagine how American Jews would feel if Hillary Clinton had called them 'deplorable' ON STAGE AND IN A PUBLIC FORUM and Obama STUCK the IRS and FBI on them? Gotta toughen up guys if you're seen as being one of us.
There are laws on the books now against destruction of property - someone spray paints a church door or a Synagogue door and the person doing the damage can be arrested.Every nutcase is not a German SS Storm trooper.
And to treat them like they were only encourages them. One nutcase spray paints a swastika on a bakery window in New York and Jews in Hollywood huddle in fear? Gimme a break. That gives power to every lowlife in the country.
Way too much drama. This is the United States and the weirdos are not World War II Nazis or present day evil Hamas filth. Fight them back but not with drama and protections the rest of us don't have. the benefit? It takes away the power of the lowlife. Binds us all together against evil and stupidity and not against corrupted tribal, sexual, or grievance groups. I don't want to fear calling what Hamas did as evil - I'm OK with calling them monsters and evil...I don't want to fear being called Islamophobic. Let the Hamas supporters defend their evil or not - but not hide behind their thin skins.
Enforce laws against real crimes. Against real evil. Ban anyone from 'Palestine' from coming to our country for a decade for what they've done. Drop the whole 'hate crime' thing - all crime are hateful...or they wouldn't be called crimes.

Does Sonny think that being anti-black or anti-trans or anti-gay free speech?
It's ALL free speech. N word, Free Palestine, anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish. All free speech.
Unfortunately, we have a "protected class" pecking order in the U.S., a legacy of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and one of the benefits of our increasingly rich diversity.
There are no pecking orders in homogeneous societies.
But in the U.S., free speech becomes "hate speech" depending on the identity of the speaker and listener. It's never hate speech to offend whites or Christians. Always hate speech to offend blacks.
Jews (who have traditionally been big supporters of hate speech laws in the West) are in a shifting middle ground. For a while, they were much protected from "hate speech." European nations even imprison people for offending Jews (or Africans, or Muslims).
But as the Third World population increases in the West, Jews are dropping in the pecking order. Whites will still suffer for offending Jews, but Jewish outrage is proving impotent against blacks and Muslims.
