Saying Donald Trump should be assassinated is also a political view on top of being about harming someone, and saying "black people are violent" could lead to harm on top of being a political view (refer to the example I gave about Donald Trump's statements about "Islamic radicalism" and spikes in hate crimes against people who "look Muslim"). "Should a black person be fired for saying there's systemic racism" is an interesting question, because recently, people have tried to link Black Lives Matter and people protesting against police racism---to incidents of cops getting killed. If the viewpoint that the two are related becomes popular enough, we may very well see black people getting fired in the future for making such claims about systemic racism which could be viewed as incendiary.
