That was a rhetorical question, for the sake of clarity a rhetorical question is meant to provoke thought and emotion rather than generate a response but I guess my rhetorical questions provoked so much emotional  response for you that you forgot your debating etiquette. What do I mean by this? Yeah it is true according to the 1st Amendment swearing is a right. However it is a right with boundaries as it can not be used in certain contexts or cases as the following;

1. **Obscenity**: If the swearing meets the legal definition of obscenity, it is not protected by the First Amendment. Obscenity is determined by community standards and must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

2. **Fighting Words**: Speech that is likely to incite immediate violence or constitute "fighting words" is not protected. This category includes language that is intended to provoke a violent reaction.

3. **Time, Place, and Manner Restrictions**: The government can impose reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of speech, provided these restrictions are content-neutral and serve a significant governmental interest.

4. **Harassment or Threats**: Swearing that constitutes harassment, threats, or other forms of unlawful conduct is not protected.

I hope I filled the portholes of intellectual bankruptcy your mind.

When did swearing become a right? When did uttering foul words even become a privilege? Yes, I think even white people should use the word. I mean if we are going to make such words a societal norm we might as well slap equal rights on to of it. Isn't that what we always do, this human race?
