A new level of Freedom of Speech; if you dont publicly make a statement of virtue that makes the internet mob happy, prepare to lose your job.

That’s a dumb overreaction. Nothing wrong with that tweet. It’s clear in context he was being supportive of the message, not trying to belittle anything.

There should be a law about political discrimination in the workplace

It's crazy that they think these actions help race relations when the opposite is true.

How racist of him for thinking all of us deserve a fair shot in life. Obviously the only fair sentence is to hang him before he undergoes a trial before his peers.

Seriously? Highly highly doubt a super krewe would shut down over something like that.

I’m not sure you understand what freedom of speech is. This man has freedom of speech, and he used it. FOS doesn’t protect you from being fired, nor should it.

He also supported Donald Sterling so this is more a snowball effect of things he’s said

I witnessed the exact same reaction from a quasi-celebrity's Insta feed this evening. He posted a BLM post, so I say okay fine.

I click into comments, first comment was All Lives Matter and said celeb responds with a "frick you" to the All Lives Matter post.

So now I unfollow you and your shitty ceramic pots Seth Rogen.

This is what kills the internet. And the sooner social media dies, the better.

We weren't ready for it.
