    Freedom, in America, the US at least, is freedom to live life in liberty to pursue happiness free from government interference.

    You are more free than I am by law...I have laws that says I cant call you names, you dont and black people call white people racist names never endlingly...I could go on but you get the drift theres alot of laws that protect you from me but not me from you.


    Black people demand what they are never going to get...you want everyone to like you, not going to happen. My father grew up with Irish and Germans hating him because he was italian.



    Black people so over use racism as an excuse it hurts all blacks...A white person is not a racist because they disagree with something you want...a white person isnt a racist because they are NOT a democrat. A white person isnt a racist that simply disagrees with you. and being white in itself doesnt constitute a racist..but any of that is cause for many to yank out Ye Olde Racecard and flash it around.

    Blacks still harp on slavery, that no white person still alive had a damn thing to do with. Its all about using racism for political power and a hammer.

    There are white people that do not like blacks, there are black people that do not like whites, thats the way it is, thats the way its always going to be and thats that.

    Whites know the race card is used as an EXCUSE for a variety of isssues...they know its used for political power and they know its used as a hammer to badger people with and thats why to most everyone i know the race card is as meaningless as wet tissue paper.
    Let's start at the beginning...please name a law that is in effect that protects a black person but you (as a white person) does not?
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    Freedom also means that because you don't like the color green, that you have no right to tell me I can't like the color green. I can't tell you who you should love, and you can't tell me I have to allow substances injected into my body.

    The core of it all is you or me going to the government to persuade law makers to enforce any of the above personal demands, is a curtailment of freedom. Coercion is the government's game, at the behest of individuals.

    Not surprising that they're demonizing freedom. The whole point of this coronavirus response is to greatly reduce freedoms in the West.

    Hate laws are social justice nonsense. They're not about justice but power.
