With modern technology everyday someone is expressing their freedom of speech I am all for it but, haven't we just manipulated our freedom of speech to say what is in our hearts whether right or wrong? Haven't we used it to be racists or bigots yet try to infringe on the rights of the people we hate?
This freedom is now more about tearing our fellow man down; our freedom of speech just like our right to remain silent is for our protection, but we spit vile words at others trying to infringe upon their rights telling them what we believe but not accepting their opinion if they disagree with us we get angry. What happened to my right to disagree with you, why does it have to result in cyber bullying or you throwing racial slurs my way?
Can we all get along? No we can not all get along, but you can learn how to coexist with me without trying to infringe upon my right to disagree. You can learn to coexist with me by not letting your opinions of me blind you of who I really am. Who is the me in this? The old Latino man, the young Black girl, the old Asian woman, the old White woman who is disabled, the young White man whose girlfriend is Asian. The husband and wife who have 6 children and are struggling. I could go on, but you get the point do not let your hate blind you of who I am or what I can become.
