Wednesday, my favorite day on TV


Wednesdays was my favorite day on TV, the best shows with the best actors, but these days when it is not "the caravan" "Russia Gate" Bush's funeral or Trump's lawyer who goes to jail on Wednesday it has become a nuisance.

Today I did something that I don't like doing at night, watch the news. And to top it off the channel stuck was Fox News and commentator Tucker Carlson. Both, e and his guest, ere talking that the United States is envied in the whole world by its constitution and especially by the First Amendment.

For those who do not know what the First Amendment says, among some things it says that the government can not get involved in the religion we choose, that we have the right to say what we want or freedom of expression, freedom of the press, etc

It will be true that one can say what he wants or is this a lie? I sincerely believe that all this is depending on who says it, when it says it, to whom it is said and especially the color of the skin of the person of which one is speaking.

I'm just going to tell you about some high-profile cases, Rodner Figueroa was fired from Univision for saying that Mrs. Obama seemed to escape from the Planet of the Apes, Roseanne Barr show was canceled and fired for expressing racist( in her own Twitter account) comments about a person in the Obama government, the president of 
Papa Jon ( the pizza place) had to resign for the same, Paula Deen (food Network chef)      her show was for saying the word "Black" in his restaurant, the person writing this article had a listing removed on Amazon for putting "Black Rosary" on the title, these are some and certainly few examples. This is why I say, depending on the "color"

Sure, some comments are disrespectful, others are insults, some ridiculous and others totally stupid, but where are we, do we have freedom of expression? Yes or no?
