There was an old political cartoon from the 1990’s that showed a donkey going around with a fistful of signs that said “racist”. He was plastering all about on anything he could find. Things have not changed in 30 years.

China and Russia are calling us out on this. We don’t have free speech or real “democracy” in the US anymore but we criticize the Chinese and Russian Governments for not being “democratic”.

Communism can’t survive free speech, that’s why all these media propagandist gaslighters oppose it.

White males founded the country, so anyone else is free to GTFO.
I hear there’s land in Africa…

Then this person who dislikes free speech he doesn’t like will understand if I tell him to STFU, even though he will still fight for his own advantage. It’s mutual combat by mouth, hypocrisy allowed and expected.

Can’t we get along?

Was free speech an White Man’s obsession when Frederick Douglass used it to help fight slavery? Or Martin Luther King against segregation?

I wish they would just leave the country. All they do is kill and destroy.

White males “obsess” about freedom of speech, which also benifits non-whites and non-males. Maybe Musk should make an exception and shut down ingrates such as this one.

Things have not changed in 30 years.

I would say that things have gone downhill, not that they haven't changed.

Political correctness as a virtue reared its head in the 1970s, and it's been getting progressively worse ever since.

Hopefully we don't end up in a full-fledged Cultural Revolution. The elements of bullying, denial, and authoritarianism are all there, and they're being fed by the woke left.

Ask the folks in Shanghai if China allows them free speech or anything like a free existence

I am old enough to remember when it was the right trying to squash the free speech of the leftist hippies and flag burners. And night after night, the news people would quote”

I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It. Evelyn Beatrice Hall

Funny, how all the newsmen today seem to have forgotten that when the shoe is on the other foot.

The more I hear non-white commentators say things like this the more convinced I am they may have something there.

Perhaps they really don’t belong in the United States.
