When a white student at California State University was caught this month wearing blackface, administrators had a clear message: it was racist, but “protected by free speech”.
Days later, when a professor tweeted that the late Barbara Bush was a “racist”, the university’s tone was different: the faculty member would be investigated for her remarks, which, a campus president said, went “beyond free speech”.

@derpayatz as always, those in power have free speech. For the rest of us, it varies.
