Well, inciting violence is a crime in many countries. Next time, please show your sources so that everyone knows you are defending a racist: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c703e03w243o.amp

On the top of my head I can cite the cases of Lee Dunn or Billy Thompson who didn't call for violence and these are not the only ones. Please learn about the UK.

It seems that these were cases of blatant racism. But for the sake of the argument, if the cases were comparable, someone else doing it as well does not make it right. Whataboutism. We can disapprove all of all cases where people get detained unjustly.

Replace "blatant" by "implied" and yeah.

There was no mention of any race being inferior to any other in these posts.

The court guessed that this was the man's true belief. Same with the student that got expelled from the US for implying he supports Hamas.

This is not whataboutism: the original comment I replied to was precisely about Brits being afraid of the US government on free speech.

Are you saying the free speech of Racists should not be defended? Sorry, that's what it seems like from your comment?
