Freedom of Speech?

It says Freedom of Speech but what it really should say is Freedom of Speech unless it goes against being politically correct or against others views.

I say this because tonight on Twitter Brian Scott, driver of the number 11 Toyota in the Nationwide Series for Joe Gibbs Racing, tweeted how he felt about Aric Almirola's comments about him only being in the Nationwide Series because of his family having money. Brian tweeted, "Hmm if I'm lucky that my family has money then he is lucky for having the Drive 4 Diversity program. Doesn't matter to me how you get your break." I found it not to be a big deal at all but many other people did not. They started calling Brian Scott racist and even tweeted Steve O'Donnell, Senior VP NASCAR, that they thought Brian should be punished for the tweet because they found it offensive. The tweet by Brian Scott was soon deleted.

It amazes me how people will get so offended over absolutely nothing, Brian was just trying to make a point that Aric was able to get into NASCAR because of the program and Brian had help getting in because of money, the only thing that mattered was that they both were able to make it into NASCAR. No where in his tweet did I see anything racist and if he gets punished for that then I'll be beyond shocked. You can add Brian Scott to the list of drivers who will no longer speak their mind on Twitter for fear of getting punished just like Denny Hamlin is. I miss how Denny use to tweet whatever was on his mind, now he hardly ever tweets at all after getting in trouble for a comment he made on twitter last year. I love knowing how the drivers feel and Twitter is a way for them to express that because they can't on national television, soon it'll be they won't be able to at all on Twitter either. Lighten up people before you ruin the wonderful interaction that Twitter gives us with the drivers. Stop being so sensitive and just be happy that those drivers take time to talk to you, if you keep criticizing their every viewpoint then they'll stop interacting.

What Brian Scott said didn't seem to be intended to be racist against Aric at all. I don't get why some people have to turn the slightest thing into something that's racist.
