Sorry to ask this but what's your definition of harassment?

For people who don't know what freedom of speech is:
Freedom of speech is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction.
Notice the last 2 words.

You say something racist. A company you work for distances themself from you. You have the choice - do you say something also racist again? And if so another company has the right to distance themself from you. Cause and effect. It is a chain reaction. He has the right to spew as much racism as he wants. And the companies have the right to stay far far away from him. That is the word "free" you seem to be missing. |
Oh, you mean like how Colin Moriarty is a "racist" and got fired?

He says that rich blacks commit more crimes than poor whites, he says that Mexicans are trying to commit ethnic enclaves to secede from the United States, he wants a white majority state, etc. How is that not racist? |
I think people read too much into it because he is famous, I get that. He wasn't really prepared for that debate also, hence why somethings he said don't make too much sense. I still do not agree he was being a racist but got baited by a masterbaiter into saying things he wasn't confortable at, at that time. The other guy say stupid shitt all the time like Japanese people are the most racist asians and nobody complained about it. It's just 2 dumb guys talking things they know very little about. But one gets away with it, the other does not and is punished irl, because free speech gets you consequences if you say things that are controversial.

So...we can say anything we want and not be criticized for it?
That's the dumbest thing i ever heard...With your logic, i can go around shouting "atheists are all evil" or "gays are disgusting" and deflect any sort of response against me?
This sounds like the anti PC way of pulling out the victim card

"Read too much into it" .... lol, his comments (many of them) speak for themselves. And he's hardly "famous", gimme a break, this will be his 15 minutes of fame and it's generally for stupidity.
Who cares honestly. I dont support Youtuders. Most of them are spoilet little kids that make money doing basically nothing. I dont mind JonTrons episodes however just like that tool Colin, if they wish to work in show biz than they need to shut there mouths and keep there childhoof behavior off social media. Footballers etc have to do the exaxt same thing. Its part of being a grown up.

Yes, you should be able to say those. Those sentences are dumb but you should be able to say it.
I wonder what your thoughts on blasphemy laws are.

There is no single definition of freedom of speech, various different countries have varying definitions of it. This is the US First Ammendment:
Queue accusations of censorship and stifling of free speech by people who don't understand either of those concepts.
Aaaaaaaand Go!
