Are there any examples of speech which ought to be condemned?
Are there any example of speech which ought to be condemned by Christians?
There are many examples in this thread of the types of speech that those who object need to develop a thicker skin. Examples have included the picante sauce commercial (salsa made in New York City- git a rope) which is compared to a black man objecting to a public display of a noose, etc.
Is there any comment which should not be accepted, that cannot be trivialized by an comparing it to an innocuous example?

That's not, like, a defense of the rest of the OP. Leaving nooses with warning signs is the meat of the debate and I've said my piece as it relates already. Simplico conflated your amusing opener with the meat of the thread is all.
I remember thinking that commercial was really funny as a kid, but I was 7 in 92, so like, what do I know? But looking back on it now I can see each piece and how it works together.

You're crying your eyes out over not being able to call minorities racial slurs. And of course it doesn;t hurt your feelings. You are part of the group in power. You aren't part of a culture that has been subjugated.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
