black guy not fired for tweeting the N-word


At first I was annoyed that this guy used the N-word and was not fired BUT, as free speech is already falling by the wayside, I support his right to use whatever derogatory, racist speech he wishes. However, I will point out that if a white guy had used the N-word - he would be immediately fired (and yes, I would say he should not be fired as our 1st Amendment is fading fast we must use it or lose it - immoral does not equal illegal)

His use of the N-word, sometimes a prerogative you have to grant for our Af/Ams, was misplaced using it about his superiors. No, he shouldnt get a pass this time.

But his picture of himself? The man Gots to Go!!
