There was no name-calling involed. You are missing my point entirely, and racial profiling doesn't come into it. The person I was quoting was suggesting that in the United States of America you
have to watch you say in public.
That is contrary to the freedoms and protections provided for under the Consitution/Bill of Rights, which is taught to every 5th grader. Thus, if the poster lives in the USA and not in some country that lacks the basic freedoms that we hold to be self-evident, then they obviously need to re-learn the lessons from grade school that they appear to have forgotten.
Frankly, I'm appalled that such comments can be made without widespread outrage.
