Never the twain shall meet. One cannot be racist and supremacist and also be woke - turn that around and replace that thought with a white racist, supremacist - are they ever woke?

Then they have claimed the ex-teacher isn't supremacist although accepting she is racist. And they have argued she isn't stupid even though she was stupid enough to post her thoughts online and get herself fired for her posts and online threats.

Well, we have heard our whole lives that a minority can not be racist or a supremacist by just the fact they are a minority. That has never made sense to me because you can have a group of 50 trailer part KKK and for some reason, they can be, but a group of 50 Black Panthers can never be while both groups have the same actions and thoughts.
The bigger issue is that minorities are given a wide latitude of racist expressions and thoughts towards themselves and Whites and still not be racist by social norms, while Whites are basically judged on every comment. Look how the left treated Trump as being both a racist and supremacist while doing more for the Black community than the last 5+ Presidents Combined including Obama.

Honest question...
Is slander also defended by the US constitution?

So it comes down to how much real life damage has been inflicted by the words?
Because obviously they can hurt...
You can prove damage, it doesn't matter what's been said?
Psychological damage is not provable under US law?

I think if the "victim" presses charges, and it holds before a judge, she should be punished.
If that's not the case, I don't know....
peer pressure is a nastiness no matter who excerpts it on whom, but it's a reality.
the democratic approach is just dictatorship of the masses wrapped in a fuzzy word, It's always been like that and the masse's socioeconomic dynamics have always changed and those that didn't adapt got booted...
I really couldn't care one way or another as I just don't really care, I try to stay up to date as to not lose touch with reality, but other than that humans can do and say whatever the heck they want, society can lose its # I don't care.
Not being subjected to that peer pressure, isn't a very pleasant way, but I've made my peaces with it.
If peer pressure was something that bothered me or that made me feel uncomfortable, I wouldn't be posting here anymore
