[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate speech harms.

I don't get how, in 2022, we still have to explain why it's immoral to treat others like shit.[/quote]

It's not about morality, it's about having the freedom to say what you want to say. [b]Fox News spreads hate and discontent. MSNBC and BLM supporters say hateful things about police officers all the time.[/b] People make hateful comments on literally thousands of websites every day. How are you planning on silencing these people? [/quote]

These two are not the same (even though I do not agree with your second statement as a fact). Fox news spread hate and discontent against minority groups. MSNB and BLM supporters saying hateful things about police officers (I do not see that happens all the time) is not targeting minority group. Power structure matters. Whites being racist against blacks is not same as blacks generalizing whites as oppressors. People who both-sides are complicit in ruining our country![/quote]

No, that’s ridiculous. Bigotry is bigotry. You can’t just superimpose a new concept on top of a previous concept to render it meaningless. That is just rhetoric. What matters is the universal human truth that individuals do not want to be treated differently on the basis of skin color rather than personal character. People are not buying this guilt by association anymore.[/quote]

It's not guilt by association. Quit being such a victim. You're not. 
And power structure does in fact matter. You're being deliberately obtuse in not recognizing that and in not recognizing that people seeing "hateful" things from a place of pushing back against brutality, violence, systemic discrimination and people pushing hateful rhetoric to keep those same systems in place. But, being obtuse, and intentionally so, is lame and lazy. But I have come to expect that from the right.[/quote]
