You are trying to sanction (shame) people for using a word that means what it means-not what you say it means.

The 1st amendment includes freedom of speech-you should be supporting it when you disagree with it the most-but instead you play this game.

Thug does not mean the n word. Thats all.

Congratulations on exercising your First Amendment right. I have the right to exercise that same right.

Please look up the word "context".

You certainly do have that right. Now has anyone told you to change the words you use here? No, because thats not everyone else. PC=Censorship.

Yes you did-by saying something to the effect that its racist to use the words others would choose. An attempt to silence others. I could never do that.

The First Amendment allows one to be racist. It also allows me to call someone out if they are being racist.

Where does it allow you to be the arbiter of speech, deciding what is acceptable according to your arbitrary and personal criteria? Speech police.

I don't enforce anything. We all get to voice our opinions, even about others' opinions.

Right, and you get to make other people think they deserve to be called racist for using words THAT YOU CHOSE. Note very tolerant, I gotta say.
 
Re: Private autopsy reportedly reveals Ferguson teen shot six times;police use more t

I just want the brown defenders(who all happen to be liberals/non-Repubs) to agree that IF there was a struggle, if the gun did discharge in the police car, if the police officer sustained injuries from a struggle, that he should NOT be prosecuted for murder, regardless of any other evidence(eyewitness or otherwise). Had he been shot in the back it would have made a huge difference, but clearly(to any rational thinking person) Brown was NOT running away. the only thing he was running from was the STORE HE ROBBED moments earlier. to give him ANY of the benefit of the doubt makes NO sense to me or anyone else given what we DO know.

The word "thug" isn't the new "n" word. It's an old word that I would bet most of us have used at least once in our lives. It isn't a code word and it doesn't mean a black person. It means what it always meant. No racism whatsoever, no matter how hard someone tries to make it a racial slur.

Happy Friday Rob!

That's a ridiculous claim and I don't believe for a second you are that nieve or stupid. You have to consider current context. IE: 50 yrs ago the word gay meant something very different.

I didn't force you to use those words, IN THAT CONTEXT. C'mon, you plugged in your computer and turned it on, you should be able to understand context.

No you didn't force me to use any words, you THREATENED another poster with the word "racist" for using a word that HAD NO RACIAL MEANING. And why? Because you said so and its a means for you to try and control the discussion.

Why you hate the Constitution?

History also often tells of powder residue present on the victim when shot at close range.

And this information about the residue on Brown's clothing, which Dr. Baden said would indicate how close to each other Wilson and Brown were, has not yet been made public.

PC thuggery is how liberals attempt to move the debate to a level they can do well in. Name calling and intolerance. They're good at that.

Good grief.

I don't have any delusions of being able to shut anyone up. I've said that multiple times.

I don't even think I can shut you up. You can keep on blathering about how I am donkey punching the Constitution to your purty lil' heart's content.

The point isn't if you "can", its that you tried it.

No, you have been misrepresenting what I actually said. The Constitution allows that though.

Thug doesn't mean nigger, just because some Liberal on the internet says so. If you people are that incapable of making an actual argument, maybe you should stop trying.
