quote:
Here are a few of Turner's Facebook musings, as per WKRN-TV and WZTV-TV:
On slavery: “If all white people can be guilty for slavery because of a few plantation owners… then black people get to share the same guilt. There were Black plantation owners as well. So if all whites are guilty so are blacks.”
On the recent protests: “It’s not that the Anti-Fa and BLM thugs are so strong that they are able to take over part of a city...It’s that the Democrat Mayors are so weak as to let it happen. Shameful.”
On race: “What we done? We have raised a generation of morons that think that police are evil, especially the white ones …that all white people are racist and privileged …what have we done?”
On racism: “If you’ve been mistreated by someone of a different race, most of the time it’s because one of you are a jerk. Not your skin color.”
On wearing masks: “Lady asked me where my mask was today in a store. I told her I roll Commando!”
However uncomplicated and controversial Turner's view of the world may be, calling it "hate speech" would be a stretch. That wasn't the opinion of two prominent Nashville politicians though, who've made Turner's comments a heated public debate.

If that is hate speech, everyone right of Rex on TD is screwed.

he committed the crime of having a differing opinion. Have you not been paying attention to the news? Totally illegal

In a normal world this is just benign.
In today's world, as a fire department captain, you should be smart enough to keep these opinions off of your social media.
I don't care if you're a 20 year vet, NO ONE is going to have your back.
Sad.....but true.

Not at all hate speech but anyone that is stupid enough to post shite on FB when they have a civil service job is a fricking idiot & deserves what they get
This shite has been going on long enough that he knew what would happen
Quit posting political crap on social media
Quit posting on social media
It’s hard to take up for these people when they refuse to use common sense
You aren’t going to win against the social media mob

I’m mean, he’s not wrong and is a one-way street, But someone in his role should use better judgement

Marxism doesn't have a First Amendment, but it has may useful idiots who will make any opinion opposed to the party line a "crime."

Guy's not too smart. No matter what's right or wrong, never put anything like that in writing.
Posted on 7/31/20 at 11:55 am to Frank Black
Hearing or reading things with which you disagree, doesn’t constitute hate speech.
Posted on 7/31/20 at 11:59 am to Frank Black
Every word he wrote is absolutely true.

He's right.
Dumbshit libs are using the actions of a few to condemn and crucify an entire group of people. They are using the early method Germany used, to stir hatred amongst the populace, for a certain group.

Why are people in this thread shitting all over At Will Employment?

Well, what do we do with the 111000 white Union soldiers who died freeing the slaves? I guess they are all racist as well and their lineage should pay?

Just got back from Nashville and will be making a lot of trips there in the foreseeable future. Nashville is already infested with SJW's, progressives, and pan handlers. I couldn't even sit on the bench in front of the lobby without being accosted by pan handlers, druggies, and bums asking for money, cigarettes, and pot. Before I even opened the trunk of the car to unload luggage, I was approached by a pan handler asking for money. He even accepted "pennies and dimes". Another asked for a ride because she was in the nursing program and someone had stolen her suitcase. Go figure. Security guard there told me he was from San Francisco and Nashville was becoming more and more like SF every day and the city authorities refused to address the problem. I have zero patience and tolerance for those pan handlers and druggies. Just my opinion.
