Seems an argument about racists being bad for business to me.
No, I took the free speech topic out of the discussion. Hate speech doesnt qualify as free speech.You clearly haven't been arguing that with me. I don't care if racists are bad for your business.

I'm not going to argue the constitutionality of hate speech in this thread. Clearly you defend a person's right to say anything to anyone at any time. You are in the minority if that is the case.Please show me in the constitution where it says that "hate speech" is not protected by the first amendment.
In a weird way, I wish all racists would come out from hiding and speak freely. But they are mostly cowards. They cant handle free speech right back at them.Please show me in the constitution where it says that "hate speech" is not protected by the first amendment. Where does it say that hate speech is illegal?
If you like free speech, you'll love the link I put up earlier in the thread. Give it a listen. Support that free speech.Please show me in the constitution where it says that "hate speech" is not protected by the first amendment. Where does it say that hate speech is illegal?
It sounds like you had a troubling past or upbringing. I'm sorry to hear that.

Hate speech in the United States is not regulated, in contrast to that of most other liberal democracies, due to the robust right to free speech found in the American Constitution.[1] The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment. The most recent Supreme Court case on the issue was in 2017, when the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech" exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment.
Volksverhetzung, in English "incitement of the masses", "instigation of the people" (the official English translation of the German Criminal Code uses "incitement to hatred"[1][2]), is a concept in German criminal law that refers to incitement to hatred against segments of the population and refers to calls for violent or arbitrary measures against them, including assaults against the human dignity of others by insulting, maliciously maligning, or defaming segments of the population.[1][2][3]
It is often applied to, though not limited to, trials relating to Holocaust denial in Germany. The criminal code (Strafgesetzbuch) Chapter 7 (Offences against public order), Paragraph 130 (Incitement to hatred) of the Federal Republic of Germany defines when a person is guilty of Volksverhetzung.[1][2][3]
I really detest gaslighters.
I am guessing that you have no idea that I am black...more so that I am African, born and raised in Ghana.
I spent a good part of my youth in the country where the Transatlantic slave trade began 500 years ago. We still have the slave castles that we helped build for the Europeans to remind us of the horrific treatment we subjected our own brothers and sisters to. My family was right smack in the middle of it all. I am ashamed to say that we amassed generational wealth by facilitating and brokering slave transactions over a period of 400 years. After the slaves were sold, they were 'stored' in dungeons for months awaiting the arrival of the next cargo vessel. In spite of the grossly inhumane conditions under which we saw our people being kept on our own shores, we still provided and ensured safe passage for the slave ships.
The article I am writing will thoroughly illustrate how the very state of mind that made slave trade more convenient for the European settlers over a 400 year span still exists today. It will shed light on all the ways in which we are STILL selling our own people into psychological slavery. Until we stop taking dumps in our own houses, we can't point fingers at others for dumping in our houses.
You don't sell someone a mule and expect them to treat it like an eagle.
I am a documentary filmmaker by day. I can inbox you my name so you can research my background.
"To the priveliged, equality feels like oppression"
I read that on DSAD. Its true.
“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression” – Mike Jebbett
All this anger we see from people screaming “All Lives Matter” in response to black protesters at rallies. All this anger we see from people insisting that their “religious freedom” is being infringed because a gay couple wants to get married. All these people angry about immigrants, angry about Muslims, angry about “Happy Holidays,” angry about not being able to say bigoted things without being called a bigot...
They all basically boil down to people who have grown accustomed to walking straight at other folks, and expecting them to move. So when “those people” in their path don’t move — when those people start wondering, “Why am I always moving out of this guy’s way?”; when those people start asking themselves, “What if I didn’t move? What if I just kept walking too?”; when those people start believing that they have every bit as much right to that aisle as anyone else — it can seem like their rights are being taken away.
Equality can feel like oppression. But it’s not. What you’re feeling is just the discomfort of losing a little bit of your privilege — the same discomfort that an only child feels when she goes to preschool and discovers that there are other kids who want to play with the same toys as she does.
It’s like an old man being used to having a community pool all to himself, having that pool actually opened up to everyone in the community, and then that old man yelling, “But what about MY right to swim in a pool all by myself?!”
And what we’re seeing politically right now is a bit of anger from both sides. On one side, we see people who are angry about “those people” being let into “our” pool. They’re angry about sharing their toys with the other kids in the classroom.
They’re angry about being labeled a “racist,” just because they say racist things and have racist beliefs. They’re angry about having to consider others who might be walking toward them, strangely exerting their right to exist.
This is the “Again” of “Make America Great Again.” Don’t worry, they’ll just open some swim clubs and make the membership really expensive...
If a registrar has to issue a statement on racial issues, run. This is not a place of trust and you certainly shouldn’t have them hold your inventory.
If a registrar statement is 2 sentences, run.
being Epiks biggest supporter, had seemingly took another stance. A stance I question if Epik would agree with you on.Registrars should not get involved in politics.
What double standard. If GeorgeFloyd.com was registered w/ NameSilo was sold (it sold) would you have claimed it too? @namesilo

Might show, they dont take it seriously. (GD)
I really don't understand why anyone cares if some nutty Holocaust deniers have a website.
Even nuts have the right to free speech, or at least they do in the US.

The worst kind is institutional racism and disguised racism. Where everything in the system is poised against you and there is no way of proving it. If those at the top don't take action it slowly trickles down the hiearchy. I've been in a group of people during a work social (not current workplace) where they were making derogatory comments about Muslims and also blatant racial discrimination against Pakistan, not knowing I was a Muslim and my ethnic background is Pakistani. I let it go on for a few minutes and then I mentioned that they reminded me that I need to see my grandmother in Pakistan as its been a while.. with Eid coming up it would be a nice surprise. Their faces dropped and they apologized. Also a few of them told me how they have Pakistani / Muslim friends and hence the jokes (that old chestnut). I think that opened their eyes a little as we got on really well (still did afterwards).
What's sad is that one of them got promoted to a position where he might make recruitment decisions - that's what makes me angry. How will that influence recruitment of those that he speaks lowly of?

So what system is that? I mean where? Just curious. Hope the grandmother in Pakistan is doing well. I've met a few Pakistanis, great people.
I've mentioned it in the past, i'm a practicing Muslim & my grandmother God rest her soul was a devout Catholic, so I know from experience that accepting one another's differences is possible & doable, but one's own insecurities & fear would stand in their way if they let it. Also, we are mere mortals, I think if we remind ourselves of that every now & then would do us good.
Oh & good luck to those making derogatory comments against Muslims, more than a quarter of humanity, of all races. Make friends with Muslims, don't make them your enemies. Be nice, how difficult is that.
Just don't complain when you actually need the services that a civilised society can give you, but you can't get it because you are now reclassified because of your new downgraded living choices.
