For someone who claims that down votes don't bother them at all, you sure seem awfully bothered by them lol
Also - fuck racists. Hate speech isn't protected speech
Hate speech is, in fact, protected. It may be used as evidence of state of mind for an actual crime, but by itself it is not.
As far as downvotes go, I noticed extremely quick downvotes on my comment, then looked back and saw every umcontrovertial comment that had hitherto for been without downvotes suddenly had one. It doesn't really matter here but am I not allowed to comment that I had a dedicated hater?
Regardless, the 1st ammendment only means the government can't stop you from saying it. It doesn't mean anyone has to give you a platform to spew racist BS, and it certainly doesn't mean that people have to sit politely while you do it.
If you are OK with letting people advocate for the inferiority, and even the eradication of entire groups of people, purely due to their own delusions, then you're allowed to feel that way. We're also all allowed to point out that doing so makes you no better than they are, because you're enabling their vitriol. And we're certainly under no obligation to follow your example in letting them spew their BS without opposition or deplatforming.
And my point regarding the down votes was that if you didn't care, you wouldn't keep complaining about it. For example, if you down voted my comment, I wouldn't mention it at all, because who gives a shit. You on the other hand have brought it up in practically every comment in this thread that I've seen after your first one lol
