Now, let's go back a few years, when racism was very much the norm. When segregation was still widespread, and the majority of people believed that "******s were bad."
Think about it.

Hehe, nice try.. but you're confusing common senses and stereotypes...
Stereotypes is when you believe something based on everything but facts... When you have opinions... but without thinking...
In your exemple... common sense... (which need to be defended by arguments) is not present... But stereotypes is...
So then, saying loud that blacks should be considered our equals would be freedom of speech... why... because you would be able to bring arguments to the table... Arguments that then, if a person would have had an open mind and be objective... would have said yes, I'm not sure if you're right but at least you bring decent arguments.... You have a right to your opinion...!
