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

So youre saying blacks are violent? Is that hate speech or free speech

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

Choose any racial slur to scream on a plane. Burger King Crown guy was the first

"Hate speech" is how leftist/communist define anything they don't like to hear.

That would be a violation of the airline I hope. Kick them off. That’s

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

No, I’m saying that Mormons lack the capital to make themselves “marginalized”

Freedom of speech is not speech without consequences.

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?

Probably a fine or something, since all the poster talked about was the NCAA

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

The left has monopolized defining and penalizing "hate speech"
