Personally, I think of free will as a wishy washy subject.

I don't necessarily believe that an invisible man in the sky or whatnot commands us what to do all the time, nor do I believe that our will is completely ours to control.

Free will is of course a reality, we all possess it. Most people can have theirs manipulated. Real estate agents, cops, etc. can take advantage of this. If Free Will were 100% constant, who would ever do anything they did not want to do? I could dive a lot deeper into this when you introduce such things as subliminal messages, conditioning, etc.

But to keep it simple for now... there is no such thing as 100% free will. Some of it is governed by how you want to present yourself to society (hence the reason I believe most people act different around other people than they would in intimate quarters), and upbringing/environment (unless a kid has enough intelligence to figure things out for himself, wouldn't you think a child born to say, Louis Farrakhan would grow up adamantly anti-white? And did he make this choice, or was he raised to make this choice?)
