Yes, but make sure people who use hate speech understand the consequences of using hate speech, especially those that threaten violence.

 @92YHQCV from California answered…2yrs2Y

At this point, I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech, but it should all depend on the circumstances. Yes, a person’s hate speech can be protected by the first amendment, just as long as it does not encourage people to commit acts of violence against others. Still, I (personally) believe that the freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government.

 @9334YP3answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, all speech is protected by the first amendment, including hate speech, incitement and calls to violence, because sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Yes, sort of, not protected but tolerated so long as it does not constitute direct abuse or call for violence.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, to tolerating it as long as it does not threaten violence, but not to protecting it.

 @92S34SB from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes because hate speech is still freedom of speech, however there should be increased penalties for hate crimes.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

It should be legally tolerated so long as it does not threaten violence, but not protected.

 @3HNRB33answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence and as long as it's not completely restricting someone rights. Although I'm a black woman, I still think that people have a right to say what they want as long as it does not infringe on my rights or threaten my life or way of living.

  @ForWheelen from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

Only if it is political speech. The first amendment applies only to political speech whereas the government is being spoken of. I don't endorse hate speech at all, but where it is protected it should be protecred

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, race, religion or sexual orientation

 @vacheeseheadanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but, this is a slippery slope in terms of constitutional protection. The first amendment does not specify what type of speech is protected. Additionally, supressing any more speech unprotected opens the door for more censorship. However, any type of speech that promotes or insights violence, which certain hate speech can, should be enforced against.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, religion or sexual preference

  @75YJY9V from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, hate speech should be punished by society instead of censored by the government

 @8X85NGX from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

No-- but the government has to clearly define "hate speech" in a manner that every citizen can understand. It cannot fluctuate from state to state, or administration to administration.

 @4VSB86Panswered…2yrs2Y

Only if hate speech is clearly defined as objectively posing an immediate threat of violence.

 @8XRJPQ5 from Massachusetts answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as it's not racist or bigoted towards a group of people

 @8XRJPQ5 from Massachusetts answered…2yrs2Y

 @8XQCD4Q from Washington answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence or advocate for the superiority of a particular group.

 @8XRJPQ5 from Massachusetts answered…2yrs2Y

No, hate speech comes from both sides of the aisle, particularly the left, and must be censored

 @8XQ89RL from South Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

No, hate speech should be defined as incitement of violence or terrorism

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, religion, or sexual preference

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, religion, or sexual preference/identity

 @8VL9DP4 from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

Hate speech creates tension and issues with certain groups of people, so it should be illegal as long as it is defined clearly what is and isn't hate speech.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

No, because it usually provokes and incites violence due to an individual's political beliefs, religion, or sexual preference/identity

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

No, because they usually provoke and incite violence due to an individual's political beliefs, religion, or sexual preference

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, because hate speech frequently leads to physical violence against an individual or group of people's opposing religious and political beliefs or their sexual orientation

 @8RBQDDP from Vermont answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as it does not threaten or incite violence, or is of a particular manner

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, because such speech leads to physical violence against an individual or group of people due to their religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, because such speech usually leads to physical violence against an individual or group of people due to their religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, because such speech normally leads to physical violence against an individual or group of people due to their religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation

 @8STJ2TC from New York answered…3yrs3Y

No, since the first amendment does not protect any form of speech- it protects the right to say things, not the right to not feel repercussions of those things.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Speech that demonizes an entire group of people (ie "all blacks are criminals") or threaten violence should be banned and social media companies should be required to take down posts with this content.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, it encourages physical violence towards another person or group of people due to their race, religion, political beliefs or sexual preference.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, it encourages physical violence towards another person or group of people because of their race, religion, political beliefs or sexual preference.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, because it encourages physical violence towards another person or group of people due to their race, religion, political beliefs or sexual preference

 @8RX2GPV from Virginia answered…3yrs3Y

While I don't agree with protecting Hate speech, it could set a precedence for banning different types of speech.

 @Maxx48503800 from California answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, the government should make no law prohibiting free speech
But if you use your freedom to say, or share hate speech in a public forum, the public is free to use theirs to disagree with and challenge your beliefs.
Private companies also have the right to refuse you service, or even fire you for possible damage to the company brand or image.
That's 'free market' capitalism
