I can tell anyone anything I want. It is up to them to listen or not. It is my opinion that giving him any credence whatsoever is giving him power. Why anyone cares what a shriveled old shock jock thinks of them is beyond me. He isn't even funny. He's a fool, and treating him as such is a response coming forom a place other than victimhood. I know, victimhood is the new black. Victimhood is the new religion. But it doesn't advance anyone.

Since I am not black, and I am not a woman, I can't pretend to say how these women should have responded.

Black, schmack. Someone says something about you that is stupid. So what?
If a washed up media figure called me a silly fag, why would I care? A bad joke and a low grade insult is what it is no matter the subject.

As for the firing, no one has a right to make a ton of money off of free speech.

We all have a right to make ton of money off whatever the market will bear. Or whatever we can hustle.

It is not remotely similar to jailing someone for burning a flag.

Yes it is. It is treating the symptom, looking at the small picture, and projecting an interpretation on someone else's actions.
