Hate speech is still free speech. That's why the 1st Amendment exists.

Dude what? Where did you pull the violent comment from?

Well you didnt choose a white or Asian guy as an example for some reason

Those consequences are socially enforced. Mormons don't have that clout

I'm not the one comparing Mormons to blacks and the n word

You’re making my point for me. Lack of clout is the very definition of an

Freedom of speech in the United States is a fundamental right, HOWEVER

Where did you get that from? That is quite a mishmash of commentary mixing public and private issues.

Bob Vance

You won’t get support for that here. Many on here are in positions of privilege

Who said anything about imprisonment? Straw man much?

What happens to someone convicted of hate speech?

SBB

Who gets to define hate speech. Very bad slippery slope.

The left has monopolized defining and penalizing "hate speech"

It's a shame that it happens, but it doesn't mean much to me

This would whiplash, much like "Horns down" did for Texas
