School officials denounced the costume but said it was “free speech.”

wo fans at Saturday night’s University of Wisconsin football game wore a costume featuring President Obama in a noose, with Donald Trump holding the rope.
One of the pair sported an Obama mask and had a noose around their neck. They also had a Hillary Clinton mask. The other person wore a Trump mask and held the noose to give the appearance Trump was hanging either Obama or Clinton.


University officials became aware of the costume and asked the pair to remove the offensive parts of it.

But the two weren’t kicked out of the game. As university officials repeatedly explained on Twitter, they were allowed to stay because officials viewed the costume as “free speech.”
The University of Wisconsin later released a statement denouncing the costume as “counter to the values of the University and athletic department,” but reiterating that it constituted “an exercise of the individual’s right to free speech.”
Tinker v. Des Moines established that in order to justify the suppression of speech, a public school must be able to show that the speech in question would “materially and substantially interfere” with the learning environment. “Hate speech” — speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits, as the American Bar Association puts it — isn’t addressed by the Constitution, but is usually understood to be protected speech.
As Michael Herz, co-director of the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy at Cardozo Law, told Politifact last year, “the overwhelming understanding is that ‘hate speech’ is constitutionally protected in the United States… Indeed, that protection makes this country different from most other countries in the world.”

Smmfh

for real though. it's pretty neat.

fuck you.

such a progressive subculture in this country

This was in very poor taste, but two idiots don't define a city

<-Fear Ameer

they are a bunch of drunks, nobody does beer consumption like Wisconsin

<-Fear Ameer

The issue isn't really up for debate

<-Fear Ameer

if at all

40% believe black men to be naturally violent

combining that with the myriad facts presented by the historic record can allow one to say with certainty that most whites are racists.

So even though two kids were openly dressed liked that many more were in similar attire withing their hearts and minds.

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

they are here on the forums and on the web at large. I've posted them on at least three occasions and if one is doubting those despite what their eyes behold then I doubt providing them will make any difference.

or we've all emigrated to a place where there are none of them.

pay him no mind.

fuck you.

I'll be satisfied when the majority are honest about their country and culture.

fuck you.

I'd even settle for half

there are a few racists like literally everywhere else in the country, but Madison and Milwaukee alone are the reason WI is a blue leaning state.

Now if we're talking about the rest of the state outside of those cities...yeah for the most part it's a bunch of racist hick fucks. Can't dispute that.

Atillah isn't saying white people dont vote Dem. he is saying 75% of white people dont chill with black folk outside of work.

Most churches are still segregated.

As far as how racist they are? Not sure about it but if you don't have real friendships and interact with Black folk until you are forced/paid to more than likely your opinion will be skewed by TV/News/Stereotypes.

There are also gay republicans...

We also saw a lot of racism by liberals during Obama's race with Hillary. Plenty of liberals were calling him a Kenyan Muslim before he beat Hillary.

It's almost worse, but at least more polite.

But why read when you can post?

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

to the front. Same way I feel about the public service Trump is performing.

Allow all these racists, misogynistic bigots feel comfortable being public.

Let them speak their mind.
Go on record.
Get photographed with holding a hateful sign.
Cheering to some hateful line Trump has said.'
Apologizing for sexual assault

Let them hang (pun unintended, or is it?!) themselves because they won't be able to walk themselves back from this shit

All Trump is doing is allowing them to be public about the shit they were private about previously.

And in some cases, these people are sitting in juries, in police cars, at the head of classrooms, or supervisors And when minorities would point out their shit, we're made out to be paranoid and baiters.

Please give these fools the space and spotlight to be foolish
