However; hate speech is NOT protected.  Racist statement or facts can be offensive to others and therefore is not covered under the first amendment.

I completely disagree Don; completely. Racist speech is unwise but it certainly shouldn't be unlawful and neither should offensive speech. Speech that incites violence is a really gray area.

I rarely see a post that I disagree with from you Ted, but on this one my friend, I do.  Racism should be outlawed because it incites hatred, starts riots and causes unnecessary harm
