you're paraphrasing what i said, and adding things to it that i never said/intended/inferred...but, yeah...we have a first amendment here in the good old u.s. of a...and it ABSolutley gives those people the right (i.e., it's not just a privilege but a right...too many people get those terms confused) to organize and demonstrate...they have to get permits and stuff to be able to do so, but once they have them, they have the right to conduct their rally...period.

you may very well 100% disagree with it...but, that doesn't mean shit...i disagree with all sorts of stuff that i can't do anything about...another great thing about the u.s., you can disagree with all sorts of shit, in a very public manner, and no one can do shit about it...the first amendment works both ways.

that's just retarded...you have the right to be racist? that's not what the first ammendment entails....you can prove anything in a court of law, you just need a good lawyer.

No, you actually do have the right to be a racist. You also have the right to express racist views, even publicly and/or through media that distributes it widely.

The few restrictions on speech and expression are pretty specific.

For example:

1) You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

2) You can't make false statements that damage a specific person's reputation.

3) You can't use "fighting words" intended to evoke an aggressive response.

4) You can't directly incite a person or group of people into action with your words (i.e. "Let's go get Traz and kill him!")

And while it's easy to think racism is covered by 3 and 4, I believe there's a test that if a reasonable person has the opportunity to think and process the speech before acting, then it's probably protected.

So it's a long-winded answer but yes, a person does have the right to stand on a street corner and make horribly racist remarks and fall back on freedom of speech.

by "you" i assume that you are speaking in generalities...but, yes...in this country you do have that right...one man's retarded is another man's liberty and freedom...and, while we're on the subject of derogatory speech and thought patterns, the word retarded (when used out of context, as in the instant case) is HIGHLY offensive to mentally disabled people and the people who love them...in fact, within that arguably small community (here in the u.s., even minority groups are entitled to a voice, btw) it is no less egregious than the word nigger...walk the walk.

oh and, if a good lawyer was the answer to this issue?? the kkk would have been out of business a long ass time ago.

ever heard of these people???

they protest at military funerals all over the u.s....they believe that our soldiers come home in a bag because america has chosen to accept/embrace homosexuality and they believe (as their name indicates) that God hates fags...they find a military funeral, they apply for their permit to demonstrate, they show up at the funeral to protest and the police are required to protect them while they are protesting.
