Hate Speech

A hate speech can be defined in this country as a principally racist and anti-Semitic speech. The actual definition is a speech intended to degrade, intimidate, or provoke violence or prejudicial action against someone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. It is also recognized by the first amendment which has to do with freedom of speech unless it has some sort of violent or obscene words in it. Usually hate groups or individuals against a certain genre engage in these acts of hate. Hate speech on the web is a huge epidemic these days. I believe the outlawing of hate speech is the correct thing to do for this country. It just causes problems and nothing good comes from it. I consider hate speeches a heinous act that should be punished by law and should be censored off the internet. In a way our rights would be violated by eliminating hate speech but I think this country a better place. A more practical way of reducing hate speech is unprotecting it under the first amendment.

  1. Hey! Nice post this week! I thought the hate speech website that we were given to look at was pretty interesting. Hate speech is around us everyday because people have opinions, and generally their thoughts and words are not very nice. I also agree that we should outlaw hate speech because sometimes I think that hate speech has gone too far. I know that times that hate speech can hurt someone so much that they will kill themselves, like bullying. If it happens I think that the country will be more at peace because words are going to be used more wisely. It will be hard for to outlaw hate speech but it might be possible.
