That is correct.
I stand for your right to say anything you want

whether it be racist or sexist does not constitue an

exception. I argue for your right to speak out against

anything you find objectionable including racism and

sexism. I stand in defense of your freedom to speak

your mind. 
If you do not allow someone to be sexist or racist

then you value your judgment as being greater than

freedom. And to excersize your judgement requires you

to assume power over another human.
I do not require governance to deal with racism in

speech. I affirm my strength as a free thinking human

without laws that control me and put you into a

position of power. I am born with dignity, I want to

keep it and use it.
Do you think individuals lack the ability to speak

against racism?

What does your calm have to do with anything? Is that

a threat in cloak; be careful or I'll lose my calm and

unleash my special brand of hell upon you. If that's

the case and you support the governance of free speech

then you are exactly the kind of person I fear and

fight.
If that statement is to say, I'm trying to remain calm

in order to discuss something then we freely debate.
It's not within my power to interpret your meaning as

it applies to the interests of this community and to

construct a fuckin' rule. It is your opportunity and

right to make your meaning clear and known to

everyone. This isn't the greatest example of U.S. free

speech in practice but it's an example.
