Simply because somebody has the right to express their opinion does not give them the right to be free from others criticizing their opinion. What's more is an opinion does not a fact make. To say that others should not criticize you for simply expressing an opinion is like saying 'freedom of speech for me, not for you".
This is an important vlog/blog. I thank you very much for this clarification about respecting freedom of speech vs standing up and speaking up against bigotry. Yes even if it comes from our own Deaf people.
They say they have rights to say anything or freedom of speech. What were their points? I guess they forgot that we also have rights to say back at them. Lol. Indeed, protesters attacked back at KKK marches by speeches. That way, KKK members don't feel good. ;)
Sascha Baron Cohen's "Borat" character was created to make fun of bigots, especially Antisemites; he does not suffer from "Jew Flu" or "auto-antisemitism" (these expressions have all but replaced the term "self-hating Jew").
All forms of discrimination are inherently unfair, whether related to race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, disability, gender or sexual orientation.

Expressing a fact is lot better than expressing an opinion because an opinion can be easily biased.

@ASLeslie I forgot to add that I find it hard to believe how can they ignore the facts? Shame on them.

Very good Vlogg! To destroy other people's values and customs are never accepted.

Dr.DonG,
Now you present the opportunity where I would like to ask for some time.
How should I handle when someone shared some incorrect information about me?
Should I stay silent or make a vlog to correct or clarify whether or not I owe those people (yet I should make a vlog to correct or clarify)?
Just wonder..... good vlog - good timing. Thank you.

@allisonpeace You have to decide if it is the right time and whether it is worth it to do it or not.... If you do, look forward to seeing it.

Good vlog. I agree with you all the way. We must educate them that their behaviours are not accepted!
