Lie, not all controversial speech is hate speech, I've never said that because I don't believe that.
That letter was written in response to literally hundreds (thousands?) of verified stories of journalists, public figures, academics etc who have been fired, forced out, bullied, etc for saying controversial statements. The letter cites some examples. Matt Taibbi also had a lot of good examples, such as the Asian American journalist who was forced to apologize for tweeting a statement from a black activist at one of the protests who questioned why it’s only news when a white man kills a black man.
This letter is not defending the right to for say blatant Richard Spencer style hate speech and keep your job. Yet your first statement reduced the entire letter into defending the right to be a bigot.
Did you even read the letter? If so, what exactly do you disagree with?
You're mischaracterizing again (fecalizing?).
Wrong, you did that with your first post in this thread by claiming that the letter defended the right to be a bigot.
Hate speech is very clearly defined as public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, color, national origin, disability, sex, or sexual orientation.
Is that even debatable?
No, of course it isn’t, but what does that have to do with this letter? Did you even read it? If so, please point out where it said that you should be allowed to spew hate speech and keep your job.
That's not "all controversial speech", not even close.
You don't get to decide what constitutes bigotry, you are not the one on the receiving end of it.
Again, you're free to do it, you're just not free from the consequences caused by breaking social norms.
But yeah, keep spewing hate at transgender people and then claim that's not bigotry.
See how that works out for you.
Assimilate or GTFO
Again, another one of your word salad rants where you argue against things that nobody said in the first place. Do you have a text file on your desk top where you cut and paste this tripe? You’re like serfdog with his global warming rants that he injects into anything tangentially related.
