Thanks for the info. I guess it’s the “fighting words” exception to the First Am.

Winston Churchill once said something to the effect that if you wish to enjoy the privilege of free speech you have to be prepared to put up with foolish speech. As this Air Force officer demonstrates.

“Is it illegal to say the “N” word?”

Only if you’re not black!

I SAW LENNY BRUCE BACK IN THE EARLY/MID-60’S AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD, I THINK. OPENED WITH A VARIATION ON THIS THEME.

COMES OUT AND SAYS (MORE OR LESS); “I’D LIKE TO WELCOME ALL YOU NIGGERS HERE TONIGHT. AND SPICS. AND WOPS, AND DAGOS, AND MICKS, AND KIKES, AND CHINKS, AND FROGS, AND ON AND ON. TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO GET IT, AND REALIZE THAT THIS WAS REALLY FUNNY. WE’RE ALL CALLED SOMETHING BY SOMETHING ELSE, SO WHY BOTHER? IT WAS FUNNY SO I STARTED TO LAUGH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I REALIZED THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON LAUGHING.

LENNY BRUCE WAS NOT FOR EVERYBODY BUT HE REALLY WAS VERY, VERY FUNNY FOR THOSE WHO GOT WHAT HE WAS SAYING.

TRAGIC FIGURE, WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME.

You would have been correct 5 years ago, but in today’s military the Flag/General for that base may demand that he be recalled to active duty and charged with conduct unbecoming of an officer. Then a Courts Martial and loss of retirement pay, health benefits, base privileges, reduction in rank and dishonorable discharge.

This is the WOKE military so don’t put anything past them.

Seems like these people are looking for their identity.

They will never find it while they sit on the Democrat plantation and are lacking the needed IQ to get off.
