You don't know what you're talking about. Hell, most first amendment cases don't involve anyone being arrested. The first amendment very much attaches to the government firing an employee for speech.

what is racist about this? it might be painfully true, but its not racist.


It might be true to some extent, but it certainly can be considered a racist statement.
Like my saying all millennials are lazy and aren't worth hiring.
Doesn't sound too good if it paints a broad picture on you or someone close to you.
You just simply cannot lump all of one ethnicity or age group into one category.

So all government employees can say whatever they want without fear of being fired due to Freedom of speech?

Is that what you are saying?

I think the point is that what he said wasn't offensive or inappropriate in anyway. Anyone who thinks it was is a humongous pussy and also retarded. And by retarded I mean legitimately retarded. Like wears a helmet and plays with crayons retarded.

It's political prosecution. Nothing less. No better than not being able to get a government job in North Korea unless you're a member of the communist party.

:sigh:

That's not at all what any of what I said means. The first amendment only protects certain speech. But there DOES NOT need to be an arrest for someone to have their first amendment rights violated like you suggest.

In J school they call it "the chilling effect" . It's creating a Liberal Climate of Fear where Liberal taste-masters can arbitrarily determine whose lives they are going to ruin depending on how far they veer off from Liberal Orthodoxy. The maintain the liberal status quo through fear, bullying and intimidation. And if you make a mistake they relish the chance to frick you. They are more Fundamentalist than any Christian, FAR more punitive in every respect, and completely intolerant of any variance of their Liberal Orthodoxy. It's fricking shameful.

FORWARD !

Here's what is so racist about it. For one, she lumps all black people into one category with the no education etc. secondly, she speaks of segregating to one end of town to "leave the innocent people alone" as if everyone who isn't black is innocent.
Does this answer your question? You certainly should have been able to figure this out for yourself, it doesn't take a genius, just some objective thinking

It's okay that you thought the first amendment only applied when someone was arrested for something they said, but don't double down on the stupidity.

I'm on my phone or I would post cases, but Google freedom of speech for government employees. There are plenty finding that employees cannot be fired for protected speech.

You serious Clark? It's quite literally the very definition of racism.
