I don't. I just think it's dumb to see racism where there is none.
I think racism is spreading because people keep yapping about it and making false accusations. False assumptions tend to get people riled up.
Racism is just the modern day McCarthyism.

Very dumb and the constant false accusations of racism got Trump elected!

Us Working Class Americans just roll our eyes and laugh.

I would be just as upset if an entertainer gave the audience a lecture about anything or anyone, political or social. Like most people I go to theater to be entertained. I like to get what I pay for. I don't think Mr. Dixon has a law degree specializing in Constitutional law, has he? So what qualifies him to give a political lecture?
The fact that he's a citizen and has freedom of speech guaranteed to him by the First Amendment. I wouldn't expect subjects of the Queen to understand that.

But you'll be happy to know we're making a nice, comfy safe space at the Naval Observatory for poor li'l Mikey, where he'll never, ever again be subjected to views different from his.

There's a time and a place to exercise free speech. Mr. Dixon could pick any number of places and ways to speak freely. I don't think his audience was expecting a political lecture as part of the entertainment.
What he did is a matter of poor taste.

So was what Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, and Susan B. Anthony did.

But a Congressman shouting "You lie!" to the President of the United States during an official, Constitutionally-mandated State of the Union Address is the kind of taste your kind just loves.

Is it within my free speech rights to yell fire in a crowded building ?

How is that relevant? Oh, right, it's not.

I could explain to you the legal theory of speech as action, and its limits, but why should I bother? As far as you're concerned, anybody you have decided is on "your team" is right, whatever they do, and anybody on the "other team" is wrong if they do the same thing.

I'll bet you'd be like that if you had a team. :)

"YOUR kind"???? That's a very racist remark! My 'kind' is white and so you're a racist. Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist!
Anyway, I am not a Congressman and I didn't shout "You lie!' to the President. I think you have me confused with someone else. :)

Who'da thunk it?


The nice thing about being white is other people don't have to apologize for the color of your skin and defend you from racist remarks. If you are happy with what you are racist comments don't mean anything.
When people get 'insulted' about racial comments it must mean they are ashamed of what they are.

Northern Ontario,
... and Ted Nugent along with Hank Williams, Jr - both of whom have no problem lecturing people with their ideological propaganda
Do they do that during their show when people have paid good money to hear them sing?
Or other venues...like interviews?
I'm not a fan of Ted or Hank's music but even if I was... if I paid good money to hear a show and they did that, I'd walk out and ask for my money back.
