"Free Speech" or "Hate Speech"?..................

First of all let me say that I support freedom of speech….even though I personally believe that it is possible for a person to cross that thin line between “free speech” and “hate speech”. Here’s the problem; If we did have a line drawn that would differentiate between the two….who would get to draw it? Remember that once you start down that “slippery slope” of regulating “hate speech”….you can easily slide into the regulation of “free speech”.


Right about now, some of you are asking yourself…”Where is he headed with this?” (OR you could be asking yourself……”How come wrong numbers are never busy?”)…..At this point….I choose to answer the first of those questions.


While everyone has the right to say pretty much whatever they want….other than doing something like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater…..(By the way….what about yelling “fire” in an almost empty theater, is that ok?)….it seems that the media…and the liberal left….have taken it upon themselves to draw that line that doesn’t exist constitutionally between “free speech” and “hate speech”. I have given MUCH thought to what I am going to say next……and although I know some people will be offended…let me assure you of these two things: (1) I do not say it to be simply to offensive or controversial….and (2) Regardless of the fallout….I will stand by what I am going to say…..So here we go…..


I have noticed over the last couple of years….that when folks from the Tea Party Movement gather at rallies…..they are often criticized as racists by the mainstream media….even when they don’t make any kind of racist statements. It seems that just the fact that they are against ILLEGAL immigration….that in and of itself constitutes being a racist…and of course, most major media outlets find that newsworthy. Forget that there are Federal laws against ILLEGAL immigration…and that the Tea Partiers are most often just showing support for candidates who feel that those laws should be upheld…. (How racist can you get?....Isn’t that disgusting?)


Then you have a couple people like Maurice Heath and Paris Lewis….probably better known as King Samir Shabazz and Malik Zulu Shabazz. These two fine upstanding young men are leaders in the New Black Panther Party. National Geographic has described the New Black Panther Party as "a militant hate group headquartered in Washington, D.C., that seeks to redefine the black struggle for equality and demand liberation from what it sees as white supremacy." Malik has been quoted for years (of course...NOT by the mainstream media) saying some of the most outrageously racist things that have ever been uttered in the history of mankind. Things that would have probably made Hitler cringe. But not to be outdone…..it seems that King (or is it Samir?) has been saying some pretty outrageous things himself…….In case you missed it, here is a transcript of parts of one of his speeches. Before you criticize me for taking these statements “out of context”….please tell me in WHAT context these things are acceptable……


“I hate white people, all of them……every last iota of a cracker, I hate him……
We didn't come out here to play this game…..There's too much serious business going on in the black community to be out here sliding through South Street with white dirty cracker whore (expletive) on our arms……And we call ourselves black men with African garb on…..What the hell is wrong with you, black man? ……You had a (unintelligible) with a white girl on your damn arm……You want freedom? You are going to have to kill some crackers….You might have to kill some of they (sic) babies.”


As incendiary as these remarks are…..you WON’T see this on network news….or CNN or CNBC…My question is “Why Not?” They have no problem showing a peaceful Tea Party Movement rally and adding their own commentary of how racist those people are….so why not the Shabazz twins? It doesn’t take a journalist to translate the message of King Samir Shabazz’s statements…..this is one time that it truly does “go without saying”. Let's compare the Tea Party Movement's stand against ILLEGAL immigration....and Shabazz's stand FOR killing "white people".....While I know that there are Federal laws that SUPPORT being against ILLEGAL immigration...I'm pretty sure that there are laws AGAINST killing "white people".


Here’s an idea….and here is also where I will probably be criticized by many people. Every time I hear that racist rant of Samir Shabazz….I think to myself…”Hmmm…what would happen if it were a white Tea Party person saying these kinds of things?” Does anyone think that it wouldn’t be the lead story on EVERY network? In the words of that racist Sarah Palin……”You betcha”. Just in case you’re not with me so far….I took the liberty to change a few key words to see if it is any more offensive. Lets take a look…….picture a Tea Party person standing in front of a crowd saying this…….


“I hate black people, all of them……every last iota of a nigger, I hate him……
We didn't come out here to play this game…..There's too much serious business going on in the white community to be out here sliding through South Street with black dirty nigger whore (expletive) on our arms……And we call ourselves white men with American garb on…..What the hell is wrong with you, white man? ……You had a (unintelligible) with a black girl on your damn arm……You want freedom? You are going to have to kill some niggers….You might have to kill some of they (sic) babies.”


Are you offended yet? If it took the second version to offend you…..then I would say that it is a VERY good chance that you might be a racist (AND an idiot)…and you need to take a good look at your personal and moral values. Why? Because BOTH versions are as offensive as it gets. Because BOTH versions are reprehensible. Because BOTH versions are racist and unacceptable in any civil society. While we established earlier that there are no laws against EITHER of those versions…..I doubt seriously that you will find anyone from NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN or CNBC reporting on the words of Mr. Shabazz…..and you certainly wont hear a peep about it from the ranking mainstream “race pimps” Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton…….just don’t let that second version get out…..because THAT (of course) would be racist and unacceptable....Right? Then Again….That’s Just Me
