Yeeehaaaawww!!! Lets go back to the good ol’ days of the sixties when cross burning was an “in” social thing to do, you could ruin a person’s life by labeling them a “commie”, cops were allowed to beat those black rascals and you could censor anything anyone wanted to say! Yes sir… those were the good ol’ days.
At least that seems to be the attitude Jon Alvarez and his little neo-nazi, America hating “Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood” to me. This groups hates all those Brave American soldiers who were stupid enough to fight for a country that allowed free speech, freedom of expressions, the freedom to be different, the freedom to think what you want and choose what you believe. Yes, this group is on a mission to stomp out anything and anyone that does not look, talk, act, and believe just as they do. Hmmm… who does that remind me of? I can almost see a PICTURE in my head of who else that sounds like…
Anyway, now they want to muzzle Will Smith for having the audacity to compare the terrorist attacks on 9/11 to the frequent police attacks on blacks in the 60’s. Here’s a little excerpt of what got Smith in trouble:
When asked if the terror attacks had changed him, Smith said: “No, absolutely not”. He added: “Whether you are wounded in an attack by a racist cop or in a terrorist attack, I’m sorry, it makes no difference. In the 60s, blacks were continuously the victims of terrorist attacks. It was civil terrorism, but terrorism nonetheless.”
I personally never thought of it that way… and I don’t know if it’s a good analogy. However… even if you disagree with him all you need is half a brain to see where the man is coming from. And even if you can’t see where he’s coming from you can at least respect the freedoms he has to express whatever his thoughts are. Disagree with him. Argue with him. Disprove him. Debate with him. Compare ideas. But don’t pull an Adolf Jr. and try to eradicate anyone that has a differing thought. To do so, is the most UNAMERICAN thing you can do, and shows HUGE disrespect to the men and women who have died so you can have the freedom to say whatever you want to about Mr. Smith.
And now Mr. Alvarez, I shall exercise my freedoms and rights that were afforded to me by the sacrifices of men and women in uniform (be it American, Canadian, British, whatever) who fought in 2 world wars. I THINK YOU ARE A FRICKIN IDIOT.
However, because I believe in YOUR freedom to have whatever opinion you want and say whatever you want to say, I won’t fight to get your little group of Freedom Haters banned.
