Hate Speech or Not

In a recent article on WND (WorldNetDaily.com) it has been reported as follows:

The organization, calling itself Free Press, claims media companies are engaging in "hate speech" because a disproportionate number of radio and cable-news networks are owned by non-minorities.

Either these people are confused about the difference between speech and discrimination or the line is moving again. Neither of these things can be good for the rest of us. Of course the the difference between actual speech and expression has been so blurred by the Supreme Court as to be almost indistinguishable. This all makes it even harder to ward of charges made by anyone who simply doesn't like what you're saying.

It should strike every American how much it seems that speech is freer for some then for others. If you in a politically correct protected group almost nothing you say can be cause of hate or problems, but if you're not you dare not disagree about almost anything with one of the politically correct protected groups.

Still it is not right that things like discrimination be confused with hate speech. Odd how these things actually get more air time now than murder? The media is determined to get to the bottom of who was the highest person to hold responsible for allowing a person to speak any illegal word.

It's odd we don't think of words as being illegal in this country yet not a news person anywhere will repeat the word nigger in a story if it was used as hate speech. They are petrified... they will consistently and ALWAYS use "The N-Word". This is the word that must not be mentioned. I can hear 4 letter words on TV on regular networks often as early as 9:00 now, but no one dares utter the word nigger. Yes I find this word offensive too as does everyone except black people when they are using it of each other. Odd I know, but that is the way things are.

The charge of racism is constantly raised against white people whose lives are then made a living hell regardless of whether it was simply a matter of interpretation, but you will certainly not see such charges leveled against the New Black Panther Party no matter how overt and number the terms used by them. It is clear it is not just one individual in the group either. We hear constant examples of the use of racial terms like crackers and the like yet I have never heard a news person say that they used "The C-word".

It is clear that things are trying to be provoked much as they were in the 60's and probably by the same radicals or their children.

No one can say why these people crave chaos or what they really hope to gain by it. The sad thing is that when they call things racism or hate speech when they are not it makes the real occurrence of such things taken less seriously, rather like crying wolf. After a while we get so used to the charges that they become understood to be meaningless.

Do we really want a society so based on the acceptance of hate by those who are trying to use the term as a means of control because of their own hate. Let's be real hate is not something peculiar to white people only. Hate is part of the human condition. It is not reserved only to one race and anyone who claims differently is lying.

It is time we had enough guts to nicely but firmly point back to the people leveling these charges and call them what they are, racists, haters and liars. After all if the arguments they were making were strong enough to stand on reason and real evidence there would be no need for the name calling. The real reason for all the name calling is that they don't have any evidence to provide.

They don't even seem to need any evidence other than your disagreement with them any longer to declare that it must be on the basis of race, after all it certainly can't be simply because you disagree as I stated above; yet more often than not the reason is just that political agreement no race based. The trick is to respond firmly but never in anger.

I hope when you hear these things on the radio or TV that you will make some attempt to contact them and let them know you disagree with the way they're covering things.
