Who had greater freedom of speech: Modern novelists and scriptwriters, or Elizabethan novelists and playwrights?

Modern novelists and scriptwriters do.

You never provided a single piece of evidence that Elizabethan novelists and playwrights had greater freedom of speech. It was a completely unsubstantiated claim -- and a ludicrous one given how well known the political restriction in free speech were at the time. You also completely refused to acknowledge all the detailed pieces of data for specifics bits of censorship or political pressure in Shakespeare that I provided.

Since you never acknowledge anything we say, nor ever provide any evidence to support the claims we actually dispute, and keep making further ludicrous claims instead, you're properly considered a troll.

EDIT TO ADD:

What is the race of the overwhelming majority of people who make race hate attacks, people who physically attack people merely for being of race different from their own?

That depends on whether we're discussing your nation or mine. Racial hate attacks are most definitely a white thing in Greece. Or Libya. I'm guessing in America it's the other way around, corresponding to higher black crime statistics in general (whether hate crime or otherwise).

Are attacks by police and the justice system which seem likely to be racially based included under race hate attacks?
