Someone probably said this to Morgan right before he murdered them.
TimAllensGrunt
Is that a Boston Bruins logo?
TokensWorth
Heres to 2017. Saying what we want, and others not crying about it.
VresiBerba
TIL oppression is the antithesis of free speech.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Thats pretty accurate.
BattloidKouji
Was anyone confused about this? this feels sort of like a strawman argument to me.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
What? No way! Straw arguments on imgur? Since when?
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
No, its perfectly accurate. Oppression is active prevention of a group of people from obtaining various rights and similar. People get it
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
into their heads that people saying stuff that they don't like is the same thing.
BattloidKouji
Yes, I understand what the pic is saying, I wasn't aware that people confused the two.
Callipygous87
Yeah, thats because strawman is the most well known fallacy. People like to just label any argument that feels off as a strawman.
BattloidKouji
I'm well aware of what a strawman fallacy is. I wasn't aware this was an argument that was being made, hence why I feel it's a strawman.
Mimsey
Only because you lot are using "strawman!" to deflect every criticism comin at you lately. It's sad.
BattloidKouji
"you lot"? what?
GryphonHunter
I'm gonna go ahead and guess Freeman never said this, but still the message has a point
tuxedobob
Well, it has a point, to a point.
digmoats
Freeman is an appropriate name. I keep confusing him for the one with the crowbar.
SubgeniusArmageddon
It was said by Blaire White. Not Morgan Freeman. I can't link the twitter link here cause of imgur's "spam filter".
worldsokayestspeler
Yeah that spam filter is working suuuuuuuper well/s
DanGarBruce
I'm not sure...but when you read it, you heard his voice saying it didn't you...
Shmewkey
No titty sprinkles.
racl101
Clearly no because it's Samuel L Jackson in this picture.
dghammer

How the hell did this get to FP
SubgeniusArmageddon
Probably because of the refutation in the comments.
KevynDietz
I think it has more to do with the literally thousands of bigots that also inhabit usersub
SubgeniusArmageddon
Front page moral extremists are just as bad. Those kitties you see on FP are there cause those racists.
KevynDietz
The poor oppressed white male. Truly they are the real disenfranchised minority in the world today.
SubgeniusArmageddon
Joke all you want, if you don't want people to know the underhanded tactics of this propaganda, you're as bad as them.
DropDeadFread
I'm guessing this person gets angry when people call him out for being an ignorant asshole.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
the only thing you can punish is action. People can speak and think as they see fit, though you can, of course, ignore them.
KevynDietz
No, people don't actually have an obligation to listen to whatever shit you want to scream at them. The government can't stop them, but
KevynDietz
I can still say 'shut the fuck up' or 'please leave my business establishment or I will call the police.'
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
You know, if you actually paid attention, I said you could call them out on it, a number of times. i said you couldn't take physical or
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Because you shut someone down physically over their beliefs, and you're as bad as every tyrant in history,
KevynDietz
Yes, if I tell a guy saying racist shit to get the fuck out of my store, I am literally as bad as Hilter. Grow up.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
legal action, but you can still get on to them for their bullshit.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
If you prevent someone from speaking because what they say is offensive, you are as bad as every tyrant in history who did the same. The
robotzombies
God damn you're one angry white male.
DropDeadFread
Yeah, I'm not going to let some person rant and rave about immigrants in a Walmart.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
you cannot, through legal or personal action, prevent them from speaking.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
You can't stop them. Its their right to think and speak as they believe. Can you call them out on it or simply ignore them? Of course! But
DropDeadFread
Yeah. I can stop them. I have no problem putting people with bad manners in their place. I have no problem with violence.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Then you are a far worse threat to freedom than they are and need to be put down like the rabid dog you are. If they through their actions
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
that street works two ways.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
or through legal means attempt to substantiate their idiocy, then your response is warranted. Their rights may end where yours begin, but
