A conversation with Popehat about a billboard, free speech, and the Constitution

What fails to amaze me every time is that burning a flag is the correct way to dispose of one.

TL;DR: Restrictions on free speech are primarily used against the powerless, not the powerful. So don't create free speech restrictions that you think are going to be used to protect blacks, say, against white racism. Those restrictions will be used primarily against blacks, not against whites.

What a terrible interview.

They had someone knowledgeable and interesting to talk to, and the interviewer sounds like he's failing 10th grade, and asks questions to match.

To the contrary, I thought the interviewer did a fine job of highlighting the issues and letting White make his points. And on paper at least, he seems eminently qualified for the interview. He's a former litigator with an undergrad and JD from Harvard: https://abovethelaw.com/author/elie-mystal/.

he sounds like an ignoramus and his credentials dont make him sound any more intelligent. You can be a harvard trained lawyer and still not be a good interviewer, as this person proves.
