Martin Luther King Jr. had to have a LOT of protests before black people were given the rights that they enjoy today. They had these rights, but were denied them by society and the courts. Just because these rights were not recognized by the state does not make them rights never-the-less.
It wasn't a protest against free speech. It was a protest against what was said. If millions of Americans believe that blacks are inferior, and some company owner stands up and says that blacks are inferior, I would damn well hope that millions more would stand up and protest at that company. Like Saul Alinsky having a fart-in at Eastman-Kodak. People have to stand up to bigotry and hatred.
