Learn some reading comprehension before attacking someone.
I'm specifically saying that using language to intimidate someone based on their race isn't protected speech and can be considered a hate crime.
You are allowed to openly support racist ideals in public. Verbatim what you said. It is wrong. It is a hate crime
It is not a crime to hold, or express, racist views.
It can be a crime to act on those views, harass someone with those views, etc.
Expressing them is acting on them. Americans are idiotic for thinking it is an "infringement" to prohibit and punish racists until they disappear and stay away from society. It is the fucking purpose of dissalowing hate crime in the first place.

For the most part though you're free to say and wear whatever you want for better or worse.
And listen, I wish it was a crime to openly support racist ideals in public but that's just not the country we are.

I never said I'm cool with people doing it and I'm not opposed to more restrictions on hate speech in general but I didn't write our constitution.
Where in the constitution does it say that you may employ hate speech against any minority? It is like with gays, some people choose what it says and nobody else reads or oppose their intent to eradicate
