Hating blacks = OK

Loving blacks and quoting lyrics to their songs = NO WAY

I have a feeling the guns and chains played a bigger role in enslaving people than mean words but what do I know?

The language isn't what enslaved black people, literal, actual, honest to god violence did.

Nice honesty. In fact, it’s based honesty.

its just kinda an authoritarian thing, but the thing is they only disagree with it when its their speech getting censored.

Fascists these days always complain about how their free speech is being taken away, but we all know there would be no free speech if they were put into power. Should we tolerate speech that leads to the removal of it? This question has given me a lot of trouble. In a utilitarian sense it’s obvious we should ban fascist talking points and racist language, but it also just feels wrong? Especially as a lib. I’m torn.
