hate speech

Hate is America is usually defined as a race issue or an anti- Semitic speech. Which is protected by the first amendment. There is no First Amendment exception for hate speech unless its libel, obscenity or fighting words. “Canada, Great Britain, Germany and numerous other Western democracies ban hate speech and there is an ongoing debate whether doing so undermines the fundamental tenet of a liberal democracy.” (spectacle.org) I think hate speech is a very unsteady subject. I agree that hate speech is wrong and it's morally revolting to use hateful words towards other individuals, I do not think that the government trying to control it or censor it is going to fix or solve the issue. People are going to use hate speech whether the laws say they can or cannot. Which is wrong, but people don’t change. They should spread awareness about hate speech and what it has caused and the effects they have on people to benefit individuals.
