No one is disputing anyone's 1st amendment rights. But what about being responsible? You, know like yelling fire in a crowded theater isn't cool?
A celebrity yelling "racism" during a heated campaign isn't cool either.
Far too many people here (mostly from the left it seems)...

One is a public health hazard and the other is not.

I'm very conservative. I find it kinda humourous(yeah I put the "u" in there ) that a Canadian is defending the US Constitution.

Regarding your health hazard comment, please consider this news. Incident like this have been showing up more and more. Can you say that racially charged comments from celebrities and leaders are not a factor in the increasing number of these incidents being reported?

I don't think so, at least not in a major way. Hatred is a learned behavior. Usually from parents. People gravitate towards a message that they already believe in. I don't think that what any given person says creates that atmosphere. It's like horticulture. You may have a seed but without fertile land to plant it in, it won't grow. Again, what do you propose?

I'm saying that the people with the bullhorn should be a little more careful what they yell.
Now, what do you think about Freeman taking obama to task for making racism worse?

That is un-Constitutional. But if we are going to take the rights away from famous people, I reserve Carville for myself. I'd LOVE to slap that idiot.

I think he's wrong.

I'm not so sure about the "learned from parents" part.
My family, and town was all-white, and n-words and racist jokes were common.
When I am paying for something at a counter, I want more than a grunt from the person working, and I will patiently hold onto my money until I get some eye contact and polite words. In a town that is almost exactly 50/50 between white and black, most places I go have exclusively black employees. I have gone so far as to make the Walmart manager find me a white cashier (who he had to page from the jewelry department), because I was so dissatisfied with the level of service from the black ones.

Why would anyone listen to this "man"? Why is he credible about any topic?
in a country founded on equality i find that to be disingenious freeman doesnt speak for everyone in this country he speaks for himself.
when people value other peoples opinions more than their own
