Ex-CNN host and big-government minion, Piers Morgan is catching a firestorm on social media after he let it be known how he thinks America should handle those who use the “N-word” – by putting them in jail.
The punishment, as Morgan stated, would strictly be for “white people.” In other words, President Obama and CNN anchor Don Lemon are off the hook for their recent use of the taboo term.
What would I do with white people who use the N-word? Jail them.

Unfortunately for the British Morgan, he’s not an American citizen, so he might not understand the whole Constitution thing.
No doubt, the vast majority of Americans agree the “N-word” is often used as a racist term and never speak it. But to deem a word illegal, punishable by incarceration, is short-sighted “thinking” at its worst and goes against the liberty protected under the First Amendment.
Not because Americans want to protect racist, hurtful language, but because they want to defend the right to say anything they want to say, no matter how offensive.
In Morgan’s world of make-believe, everyone would be forced by the government into a coma-like state of submission, perhaps thinking he’d finally feel comfortable in his own white skin.
But “comfortable” he couldn’t have been feeling after tweeting his “brilliant” idea. The constitutional schooling was immediate and harsh.
@JaniRULESDoll @jaybo96 @piersmorgan People have the freedom to say what they want, even if it is hateful.

Not this Brit anyway.
@SkepticalBromo on the bright side, if we COULD jail people for being ignorant morons, we could throw @piersmorgan in next to the racists.

Now, there’s an idea some could get behind.
@piersmorgan Yeah! Fuck freedom of speech! After all, you make a living speaking your mind don’t you? #shortsighted

First he came for the Second Amendment. Then he came for the First. https://t.co/Osd2qkMMgI

That’s right. And Morgan has no shame in that apparently.
Good old Ben..wants the right to wave his little gun around AND use the N-word! https://t.co/CQBMFKqmIn

It’s called free speech, and there’s no better way to tell who the jerks, racists, and idiots are than to let them talk freely.
Get it Morgan? I didn’t think so.
Morgan instead used the example of South Africa banning a racist term they describe as the the “K-word.”
In South Africa, use of the K-word is illegal and people go to jail for it. This is not a new idea, and it works. https://t.co/OVpFobmM9R

@piersmorgan In case you haven’t noticed, America is NOT South Africa.

@Mathunzz @barninnwell @CalFreedomMom @piersmorgan Governments don’t grant rights. They either defend them or take them away. That’s it.

So far, @piersmorgan has decided the 1st & 2nd Amendments are rubbish. How long until he advocates quartering troops in our homes?

It’s only a matter of time.
