freedom of speech

freedom of speech , everyone knows it.
almost everyone uses it.
but recently in holland there is a discussion about where do we draw the line with freedom of speech ,cause when is saying what you want no longer freedom of speech but plane old discrimination ,or insulting.
there is a courtcase here built on that question.
there is a politician here in holland ( im not gonna say a name) (not worth it)
this guy is the most ridiculous man i have ever seen in my life.
he says the most racist things, about things he probebly does not even know.

but im getting away from my story. this man says his hatred and racist things are part of the freedom of speech, i truly dont believe that,
freedom of speech is off cource saying what you want ,
but the line that stops , when someone is hating and spreading hatred over the place.
when people start to hate eachother because of it,
and when people start to panic ,and there is violence in the mix ,
that is not freedom of speech.
yes its saying what you want to say, ( respectfully tho)
look i understand there are people who have hatred for foreigners.
im NOT one of them..i am a part of 3 worlds africa/maroccan/dutch( thats me)
and im proud of it. i was raised to see everyone equal.
and everyone is equal..
but i dont understand the hatred and the missunderstanding.
in every race you have good and bad.
but when sh*t goes bad, its always the other race.and its their fault.
it does not work that way. like ive said in every race you have good and bad..
stop lookin at the race but start looking at the people they are..

martin luther king jr. always wished we all could just live together,
and for a while it looked good.
but deep in the roots in some places, its getting bad..
we are all equal, and we can all say whats on our mind.
thats okej.

but again im getting away from the story.
okej but relize that there is a line between freedom of speech and plane old discrimination or insulting someone.
but neverrrr let anyone take your voice from you..
say what you want ( respectfullY) be you..)
in some countries people cannot even say what they want.
do dont take it for granted,
cause having a voice (opinion) comes with great responsibility.
some may be offended, some may think you are right. some may get pissed off.
thats okej,
but dont be dissrespectfull
cause believe it or not.
that is where freedom of speech stops!!!
