FortuneCookie 07/09/21 5:21:09 PM #6:	I don't want to use something as serious as racism for a trolling / attention topic. This is a genuine question on the nature of fighting bigotry and preserving people's rights not to be discriminated against versus maintaining the constitutional rights to free speech. Yes, there are bound to be troll responses. There are some possible answers I omitted from the selection list to dissuade that. People are free to post their reasons for voting one way or another in the comments section below the poll. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:955918170] in Americans:...
