103. I'm Glad you're not part of the ACLU. You'd shred the constitution to stifle voices you didn't
approve of.

Just out of curiosity, how do you propose to end bigotry? By banning things? Like speech? Because that's what this advertisement is. You don't fight racism and bigotry by attacking the constitution. IF you want to argue that people don't have a right to be racist(implied in your previous thread) how do you enforce that? Do you put them on trial for a belief? I mean, if a racist attacks someone, threatens someone, damages property, it's a crime. And in most states, it can be a hate crime. So, what more do we need?

People have the right to do a lot of things in this country the majority doesn't approve of. Being an asshole bigot is one of them.
