So I guess calling black people racial slurs is fine, because, well, it's simply a view, right? Just like calling white people 'crackers'?
Free speech is free speech. If you go to court over your right to speak it, my ACLU dollars will support your defense.
But if you utter them in my home, I will show you the door. Say it in my company and I will give you the boot for creating a hostile work environment. You are free to be who you want. But you must take the consequences.
Free speech is not free speech. Even ACLU won't be able to do anything for someone who is engaged in libel, slander, making fraudulent claims about goods and services, representing yourself as a police officer or a licensed professional when you are not, making threats to kill or harm someone, et cetera et cetera et cetera. There are many instances of speech which is not legally free.
