If what is posted can be deemed as "hate speech" then it can be reported and possibly removed.

One or two of his posts about wanting to see black people die can be qualified (in my opinion) as hate speech especially since we have members of all races here. It creates a hostile work environment. However, customer service may or may not agree with me.

It's just a fact of life. But it is good that usually our speech in this country does not get us killed (usually).

However, free speech is a myth. There are ALWAYS consequences to your actions and your words. Most of the time, we are NOT legally liable, but there is still a price to pay for your words, lost friends, lawsuits, lost sales (if you're a musician), show cancellations (if you're an actor/actress) etc.

Just ask the Dixie Chicks and Roseanne . . .
